I'm not sure it makes for footage that is all that exciting:
Quote:

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.

ETA: Also I would assume they would have someone who isn't elected read that part (if not all of it).
