the Constitution is beginning afresh, we are beginning
afresh in structuring this government in the State with a
new Constitution, don't we run into a possible problem
in the future if we don't define specifically what the
powers of this Comptroller should be? We run into the
problem that possibly the legislature could establish elec-
tive powers in someone not responsible to the Governor.
We would have some constitutional difficulty in the future.
This could be challenged or contested.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Sybert.
DELEGATE SYBERT: By whom or what?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Byrnes.
DELEGATE BYRNES: By a citizen.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Sybert.
DELEGATE SYBERT: If the new Constitution pro-
vided for a governor with executive powers but that is modi-
fied by another amendment, I see no difficulty.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Byrnes.
DELEGATE BYRNES: We would have to be very spe-
cific about what powers we are going to delegate to the
official we would call the Comptroller.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Sybert.
