amended at this time and opposed to amendment No. 10 and
ready to tackle 5 through 9 when we get to them.
THE CHAIRMAN: Any further discussion? The
Chair recognizes Delegate Scanlan.
DELEGATE SCANLAN; I have a question of the
sponsor of the amendment. Is it your intention by the
amendment to leave it to the legislature to determine
the circumstance under which the Governor may call out
the militia or is it your intention to leave with the
Governor the right to call out the militia when in his
judgment in the exercise of the executive power it is
necessary or is it your intention to leave it in a
combination, the legislature designating certain occasions
and the executive having inherent right to call them out
on other occasions, and if so, what are those occasions.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Fox.
DELEGATE FOX: I believe that the legislature
would pass the necessary enabling act so we would have
a state militia and in that act I think they would set up
the conditions under which and by whom it could be called
out -- I believe it should be left to the legislature. |
