) postmaster and doorkeeper Of the last Congress
Il could not act as such for this He contended ila
- the Constitution, which gave the power Of eac
II House and OF each Congress to elect its Off
GERS, inhibited it He further contended that ther
= was no resolution rule Of the last Congress
r; which authorized the officers Of the last Congres
Il to for this and that ii there were any such rul
in order, it in violation OF the Coastitutior
u and was not binding upon this. On the contrary
