Question: What is the term of an official in the body given authority to choose the president in 1824 by the document giving Congress limited power to enact statutes?

The United States Code is the official compilation and codification of the general and permanent federal statutes. Many statutes give executive branch agencies the power to create regulations, which are published in the Federal Register and codified into the Code of Federal Regulations. Regulations generally also carry the force of law under the Chevron doctrine. Federal law originates with the Constitution, which gives Congress the power to enact statutes for certain limited purposes like regulating interstate commerce. Many lawsuits turn on the meaning of a federal statute or regulation, and judicial interpretations of such meaning carry legal force under the principle of stare decisis. <SEP> in 1916, president woodrow wilson issued a proclamation that officially established june 14 as flag day; in august 1946, national flag day was established by an act of congress. flag day is not an official federal holiday. title 36 of the united states code, subtitle i, part a, chapter 1, § 110 is the official statute on flag day; however, it is at the president's discretion to officially proclaim the observance. on june 14, 1937, pennsylvania became the first u.s. state to celebrate flag day as a state holiday, beginning in the town of rennerdale. new york statutes designate the second sunday in june as flag day, a state holiday. <SEP> In an election contested by four members of the Democratic - Republican Party, no candidate won a majority of the electoral vote, necessitating a contingent election in the House of Representatives under the provisions of the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
