"When vacancies happen in the Representation from any state, the executive authority thereof shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies." Are you sure? When I read that I interpreted the "executive authority thereof" to mean the state's "executive authority"... otherwise don't use the word "thereof". Also, since where in the Constitution does it say the Legislature have "executive authority"?

Right, all that clause says is that the governor may call a special election if there's a vacancy in a House seat.
