with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as
president, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as vice-president;
and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted fur as president,
and of all persons voted for as vice-president, and of the number of votes
for each; which list they shall sign and certify, and transmit, sealed, to
the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the president
of the senate; the president of the senate shall, in the presence of the
senate and the house of representatives, open all the certificates, and the
votes shall then be counted; the person having the greatest number of, votes
for president, shall be the president, if such number be the majority of the

disability of the president.

But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of president, shall
