      Mr. Trump cites an early draft of Section Three that referred to the "office of the President or Vice President," Cong. Globe, 39th Cong., 1st Sess. 919 (1866), as evidence that the adopted language was not intended to be as expansive. But the Rosen Challengers persuasively argue that (1) the early draft confirms that the drafters both intended the presidency to be covered by Section Three and considered the presidency an office; and (2) the adopted language of Section Three contains a much broader catchall than that which was included in the draft Mr. Trump cites, suggesting it was broadened to incorporate the office of the presidency.
