changes in the organization of the Executive Branch including
the establishment or abolition of principal departments and

the General Assembly.
THE CHAIRMAN: Well -- did you finish?
DELEGATE MORGAN: I have finished, yes.
THE CHAIRMAN: I take it, then, if I understand
that answer, that the answer to Delegate Maurer's question
is that the phrase "by law" as used in Section 4.18 means
a law enacted by the General Assembly and signed by the
Governor or enacted by the General Assembly over the veto o
the Governor and also means an executive order which has th3
force of law under Section 4.19. Is that correct?
DELEGATE MORGAN: I understood your question was
not by law limited to laws enacted by the General Assembly.
THE CHAIRMAN: In Section 4.18.
DELEGATE MORGAN: In Section 4.18 and approved
by the Governor or passed over the Governor's veto.
