If any objection be made by
either of the parties to any member so drawn by lot, such member
shall be discharged, and another name be drawn to supply the
place, and so on until the whole number of twelve senators and
twenty-five members of the House of Representatives shall be
completed; and in all cases, the members drawn in place of those
objected to, shall be in like manner liable to be set aside,
and others shall be drawn in their places; but if so many be
set aside by reason of objections, as aforesaid, that there
shall not remain more than the number aforesaid, then no further
objection shall be admitted.
