Sec. 27. Change of place of meeting

    Whenever Congress is about to convene, and from the prevalence of 
contagious sickness, or the existence of other circumstances, it would, 
in the opinion of the President, be hazardous to the lives or health of 
the members to meet at the seat of Government, the President is 
authorized, by proclamation, to convene Congress at such other place as 
he may judge proper.
