THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Macdonald.

DELEGATE MACDONALD: Mr. President, fellow

S

delegates, I don't think itis terribly important whether

4

we use the term "federal" or "national", but I do think that

5

the term "federal", which is in the committee report, is

6

more expressive of what we intend. We are talking not

7

only about electing a President and Vice President, we are

8

also talking about electing a Senator to the United States

9

Senate, and Congressmen. I think that the term "federal"

10

suggests the federal system, and would include all those

11

officers who are elective officers of the federal system.

12

I think it would be the preferable term.

13

THE PRESIDENT: Is there any other discussion?

14

Are you ready for the question?

15

The Clerk will ring the quorum bell.

16

The question arises on the adoption of amendment

17

No. 1 to substitute the word "national" for the word

18

"federal" in lines 7 and 18 on page 1 of committee

19

recommendation S&E 1 and 2. A vote Aye is a vote in favor

20

of the amendment. A vote No is a vote against.

21

Cast your votes.
