Question: How long is the term for a member of the body which was given the 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. Federal law originates with the Constitution, which gives Congress the power to enact statutes for certain limited purposes like regulating interstate commerce. 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. <SEP> The Constitution permits the House to expel a member with a two - thirds vote. Representatives and Delegates serve for two - year terms, while the Resident Commissioner serves for four years. In the history of the United States, only five members have been expelled from the House; in 1861, three were removed for supporting the Confederate states' secession: John Bullock Clark (D - MO), John William Reid (D - MO) and Henry Cornelius Burnett (D - KY). Michael Myers (D - PA) was expelled after his criminal conviction for accepting bribes in 1980, and James Traficant (D - OH) was expelled in 2002 following his conviction for corruption. The House also has the power to formally censure or reprimand its members; censure or reprimand of a member requires only a simple majority, and does not remove that member from office. <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. 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. The 1824 presidential election was the first election in which the winner of the election lost the popular vote. <SEP> the executive power in the federal government is vested in the president of the united states, although power is often delegated to the cabinet members and other officials. the president and vice president are elected as running mates by the electoral college, for which each state, as well as the district of columbia, is allocated a number of seats based on its representation (or ostensible representation, in the case of d.c.) in both houses of congress. the president is limited to a maximum of two four - year terms. if the president has already served two years or more of a term to which some other person was elected, he or she may only serve one more additional four - year term. <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.
