Why do you think there were so many copies of the Thirteenth Amendment made?

Amendment to be signed by President Lincoln. In all, President Lincoln is believed to have signed 14 copies of the

Amendment. This particular copy also carries the signatures of Vice President Hamlin, 37 of the 38 Senators and

114 of the 119 Representatives who eventually voted for it. Lincoln signed 14 copies as a symbol of his

enthusiasm and support for the resolution. Soon after, the Senate declared Lincoln’s signature “unnecessary,”

rebuking him on the grounds that the president has no constitutional role in proposing or passing constitutional

amendments. Article V of the Constitution clearly states that the amendment process belongs jointly to the

Congress and the state legislatures. A president lacks the power to propose, vote for, or veto an amendment to the

Constitution, which is part of the balance of power established by the Constitution.
