R. ECOEDS OF THE FEDEIL?L CONVENTION 53I Thursday McHENRY September 6 As the report stands- the President will use the power of nominating to attach the Senate to his interest. He will act by this means continually on their hopes till at length they will boeth act as one body. Let the election of the president be confined to electors, and take from the Senate the power to try impeachments, and the report will be much preferable to the printed paper. He does not agree with those persons who say they will vote against the report because they cannot get all parts of it to please them- He will take any system which promises to save America from the dangers with which she is threat- ened. -- The report amended by placing the choice of the President in the house of representatives, each State having one vote. Adjourned.
