Now. Mr. President. suppose that the electors thus appointed had been ineligible. suppose cah one of the majority of the electoral college had been ineligible because they were not natives of the United States and had never been naturalized. and suppose they had chosen to cast their votes for one born in England as the Chief Magistrate for us of the United States. and that question should have been raised. are we to be told by this commission and by learned Senators on this floor that there is no power to inquire into that? If there is nopower in the one case. there is no power in tle other. and yet our forefathers when they penned that instrument said that no man not born in the United States or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution should be President thereof. But what is the logic of the gentlemen who occupy the opposite side?
