THE CHAIRMAN: Amendment is seconded. The
Chair recognizes Delegate Storm to speak to the amendment.
DELEGATE STORM: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
This approaches the problem which Delegate Marion
previously had recognized and it simply eliminates the
trouble we would have over providing that the commander-in-
chief shall appoint all its officers. It appears to me
this might bring difficulty. Does this mean commissioned,
noncommissioned, or just how far down should it go?
This amendment would simply allow the legislature to
provide for the details.
In other words, the Governor would be commander-
in-chief, would still have all other powers outlined in
the rest of the paragraphs but the only question or
only problem that would be involved would be on the
appointment of officers. I would suppose the legislature
would say that colonels, captains, lieutenants, would be
appointed by the Governor, commissioned officers, non-
commissioned officers could be chosen by the commissioned
officers and so on. These details,it seems to me, could
be worked out by the General Assembly better than this |
