of the officers of the Maryland National Guard because,
as I understand it, the Maryland National Guard, as such
if it is called in as a militia to go into an area
the Governor calls the militia to order, then he might
have other officers, but this does not give the Governor
power to appoint all officers all the way down to second
lieutenant of the Maryland National Guard or of any
armed force which he has in the State of Maryland.
For that reason and in addition to my question,
I would say the ambiguity in Amendment No. 5 would cause
me to speak in opposition to it.
THE CHAIRMAN: What is your question, Delegate
Schneider?
DELEGATE SCHNEIDER: My question is: Am I
correct this does not give the Governor power to appoint
officers of the National Guard? Which I got from some
delegate's discussion that it was somewhat the belief of
some of them this would give him power over the whole
National Guard.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Wheatley, you may
respond to the question. |
