The Florida Legislature's Duty Madison was clear on which branch could choose electors. BY JOHN YOO Monday, December 4, 2000 12:01 a.m. EST "Without the intervention of the State Legislatures, the President of the United States cannot be elected at all," explained James Madison in Federalist Paper No. 45. "They must in all cases have a great share in his appointment, and will perhaps in most cases of themselves determine it." This week we will learn if the Florida legislature possesses the courage to live up to Madison's expectations. In an unprecedented special session, lawmakers will consider whether to end the election crisis by directly appointing the state's 25 presidential electors. They will undergo a hailstorm of criticism from the Gore campaign, the media, and liberal academics, who will argue that such intervention would bypass the democratic process. opinionjournal.com
