question, by choosing one of the places in dispute.

Abt. 72. Whenever the general congress may unite in extra session,
it shall be composed of the same deputies and senators which formed the
ordinary session, and who will confine their attention exclusively to the

at the day appointed for the regular session, the extra session must be
closed, and the points pending left to the decision of the ordinary con-
gress..
Abt. 73. The resolutions taken by congress relative to the change,
prorogation, or suspension of its sessions, according to the three preced-
ing articles, must be communicated to the president, who will cause them
to be executed without making any observations thereon.
