This has nothing to do with the president or the house of representatives; in fact they're not even mentioned in the quote.

Similarly, state legislation is not what is meant.

Instead, this has been used to provide the accused with the right to defend themselves in court (<span>provide for the common defense is the correct answer)</span>
