The number of precedents that exist in our governmental framework that are based on bullshit like this is astounding. There are a lot of quirks like this and others that are interesting to learn about.

Do you find it odd, that no one has ever made any serious push to make these things widely known, or to propose correcting them?

Back at that time, the percentage of mostly agrarian and lay people likely weren't as politically engaged, as they are today.  So, I could understand the lack of any serious "outrage" from the public, at that time.
