ATTN: MAS and Rockefeller Republican

He did check in with this. I did not realize it was a constitutional amendment. I don't even believe it has to be. While the title may be the recall amendment, the actual bill itself says something of amending the constitution.

What the hell does this even mean? This makes no sense.

i) A successful vote of two thirds of voting (either in the affirmative or in the negative) members Legislative Assembly of the Northeast Region.

ii) A successful vote of majority of all members of the Legislative Assembly, voting, abstaining and absent members combined.

You wrote that there has to be a successful vote of 2/3 of the members, but then it has be a successful vote of the majority of members? What the hell?

I thought it was an amendment. However, this bill may still be unconstitutional.

Why is it unconsitutional?

[MAS117]

Governor, consult with whoever wrote the constitution (at least Article VIII clauses 1 and 2) to figure out what that means - the 2 seemed contradictory to me.

LOL EARL IS THE ONE WHO WROTE IT!

I did receive the Personal Message from Senator Earl Washburn last Wednesday afternoon. I did read over the PM the likewise with the Northeast Constitution. I did have concerns about it and I contacted Governor MAS.

I have noticed that with other legislation that has passed in the Northeast, that as little as 9 people have voted on proposed legislation, it passed with no problems at all. However if this is a problem to citizens of the Northeast, I shall resign the Lieutenant Governorship.

Calm down, no one is resigning this isn't really a big deal and will be resolved.

[MAS117]

Just an FYI, this legislation continues to stay passed as a bill and not an amendment.

[MAS117]

If no one is going to challenge the bill it will remain law as is.
