Question: What is another name for the entity that was given power to choose the president in 1824 by the document which gives Congress limited power to enact statutes?

The United States presidential election of 1824 was the tenth quadrennial presidential election, held from Tuesday, October 26, to Thursday, December 2, 1824. On February 9, 1825, the House of Representatives elected John Quincy Adams as president. 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. The 1824 presidential election was the first election in which the winner of the election lost the popular vote. <SEP> article four of the united states constitution also states that the congress has the power to enact laws respecting the territory or other property belonging to the united states. federal jurisdiction exists over any territory thus subject to laws enacted by the congress. <SEP> although not specifically mentioned in the constitution, congress has also long asserted the power to investigate and the power to compel cooperation with an investigation. the supreme court has affirmed these powers as an implication of congress's power to legislate. since the power to investigate is an aspect of congress's power to legislate, it is as broad as congress's powers to legislate. however, it is also limited to inquiries that are ``in aid of the legislative function; ''congress may not`` expose for the sake of exposure.'' it is uncontroversial that a proper subject of congress's investigation power is the operations of the federal government, but congress's ability to compel the submission of documents or testimony from the president or his subordinates is often - discussed and sometimes controversial (see executive privilege), although not often litigated. as a practical matter, the limitation of congress's ability to investigate only for a proper purpose (``in aid of ''its legislative powers) functions as a limit on congress's ability to investigate the private affairs of individual citizens; matters that simply demand action by another branch of government, without implicating an issue of public policy necessitating legislation by congress, must be left to those branches due to the doctrine of separation of powers. the courts are highly deferential to congress's exercise of its investigation powers, however. congress has the power to investigate that which it could regulate, and the courts have interpreted congress's regulatory powers broadly since the great depression. <SEP> The United States House of Representatives is the lower chamber of the United States Congress, the Senate being the upper chamber. Together they compose the legislature of the United States. <SEP> Federal law originates with the Constitution, which gives Congress the power to enact statutes for certain limited purposes like regulating interstate commerce. 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. 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.
