ROBERTS, C. J., dissenting 
Appendix to opinion of ROBERTS, C. J. 

Amdt.  14,  §3:  “No  person  shall  be  a  Senator  or  Repre-
sentative  in  Congress,  or  elector  of  President  and  Vice 
President,  or  hold  any  office,  civil  or  military,  under  the
United States, or under any State, who, having previously 
taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of
the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, 
or  as  an  executive  or  judicial  officer  of  any  State,  to  sup-
port  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States,  shall  have 
engaged  in  insurrection  or  rebellion  against  the  same,  or
given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.  But Congress 
may  by  a  vote  of  two-thirds  of  each  House,  remove  such
disability.” 

Amdt. 17, cl. 1: “The Senate of the United States shall be 
composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the 
people thereof, for six years; and  each Senator shall have 
one vote.  The electors in each State shall have the qualifi-
cations requisite for electors of the most numerous branch
of the State legislatures.” 

Amdt. 17, cl. 2: “When vacancies happen in the represen-
tation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority 
of  such  State  shall  issue  writs  of  election  to  fill  such  va-
cancies:  Provided,  That  the  legislature  of  any  State  may 
empower  the  executive  thereof  to  make  temporary  ap-
pointments  until  the  people  fill  the  vacancies  by  election 
as the legislature may direct.” 

Amdt.  18,  §3:  “This  article  shall  be  inoperative  unless  it 
shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitu-
tion  by  the  legislatures  of  the  several  States,  as  provided 
in  the  Constitution,  within  seven  years  from  the  date  of
the  submission  hereof  to  the  States  by  the  Congress.”
