Another report suggests that the
election of the President of the Unit
ed States and his Inauguration be
brought nearer together, and that the
short session of the old Congress be
abandoned.
The interval between the election
and Inauguration of a. President, this
report declares, is a serious evil,
fraught with much danger, because,
if an administration is discredited by
a popular vote of want of confidence,
the prestige of the government at
home and abroad is weakened and.
there is danger of humiliation and
disaster to the Republic" The report
does not recommend any other date
for the election or the Inauguration.
