How would this prevent future court cases like Tweed? The current constitution is quite clear that the senate determines election procedure. There was nothing vague or unclear in this.

Not really, I still think the constitution is quite explicit and the amendment is unnecessary.

Article II Section 2 states:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

And the Consolidated Electoral Reform Act clearly outlines the procedure for a presidential election.

The only thing this amendment would do is prevent the senate from changing the election procedure without a subsequent constitutional amendment.
