Box 57065<BR/>Washington DC, 20037<BR/> <BR/> <BR/>Dear Ms. Hart:<BR/> <BR/>On June 16, 2008 we recieved your letter regarding the pamphlet<BR/>entitled, Provisions of the Constitution and United States Code<BR/>relating to Presidential Elections. In your letter you object to the<BR/>fact that this pamphlet does not include Section 2 of the 14th<BR/>Amendment to the Constitution or 2 U.S.C. (Symbol) 6. You state that<BR/>the omission of these sections is unconscionable and suggest that if<BR/>we do not add them to the pamphlet you will file a mandamus.<BR/> <BR/>As we have stated in response to prior requests, we respectfully<BR/>disagree with your position. The Provisions of the Constitution and<BR/>United States Code relating to Presidential Election pamphlet is an<BR/>editorial extract of the material from the Constitution and the United<BR/>States Code. The pamphlet focuses primarily on the Electoral College<BR/>process and has been reissued in substantially the same format for<BR/>over 20 years. We publish this pamphlet as a courtesy for state<BR/>officials. It is not intended to cover all constitutional and<BR/>statutory provisions related to presidential elections, campaigns, and<BR/>voting rights. Republication of material or exclusion of provisions<BR/>form this pamphlet does not in any way affect the legal rights,<BR/>privileges or obligations of any person.<BR/> <BR/>In our editorial judgement, we do not view the subject matter of<BR/>section 2 or 2 U.S.C. (Symbol) 6 as being within the scope of this<BR/>pamphlet not do we represent that this pamphlet includes all legal<BR/>provisions relating to Presidential elections. At this time, we will<BR/>not revise the pamplet to include Section 2 of the 14th Amendment to<BR/>the Constitution or 2 U.S.C. (Symbol) 6.<BR/> <BR/>Sincerely,<BR/> <BR/>(Signature)<BR/> <BR/>AMY P.
