Another copy of the certificate of the election of the United States senator shall be transmitted by the governor to the President of the United States Senate. A copy of each certificate of the election of representatives in Congress shall be transmitted by the governor to the House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States, directed to the clerk thereof.
