TITLE 18—CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
§ 211
Term ‘‘or place’’ was inserted after words ‘‘appointive
office’’ in order to give broader scope to the section and
also to follow the phraseology used in similar provi-
sions of section 202 of Title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., now sec-
tion 216 [repealed] of this title. (See 46 Corpus Juris 924,
where it is explained that the work ‘‘places’’ is used in
a less technical sense than the word ‘‘offices’’.)
The punishment provision, added at the end of this
section and section 215 [now section 211] of this title to
secure uniformity of style throughout this chapter, was
originally enacted as a separate section, incorporating
the other two by reference. 80th Congress House Report
No. 304.
