Definitions

noun

1

The act of excluding or shutting out; removal from consideration or taking part.

Mr. JOHNSON: But this amendment does not go far enough. I suppose the framers of the amendment thought it was necessary to provide for such an exigency. I do not see but that any one of these gentlemen may be elected President or Vice President of the United States, and why did you omit to exclude them? I do not understand them to be excluded from the privilege of holding the two highest offices in the gift of the nation. No man is to be a Senator or Representative or an elector for President or Vice President—— Mr. MORRILL: Let me call the Senator's attention to the words "or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States." Mr. JOHNSON: Perhaps I am wrong as to the exclusion from the Presidency: no doubt I am; but I was misled by noticing the specific exclusion in the case of Senators and Representatives. But I submit to the Senate whether it is advisable, whether it is politic, looking to the end which we all seek to accomplish, the true restoration of the Union, a union of hearts as well as a union of hands, that you should exclude the large mass of people from participating in the honors of the Government who will be excluded by this provision.
