present form divisible? The first section of it clearly
presents the question of whether or not there shall be
a single executive, plus the flexibility to provide in
other cases, and whether or not in that instance the
school board and the institutions of higher learning shall
be permitted to have boards as their heads, whereas the
second part of the amendment, it clearly poses the issue,
apart from the school board and the institutions of higher
education. It clearly poses the issue as to whether or
not the legislature is to have any flexibility in this matter.
I suggest there are two clearly separate and
divisible questions.
THE CHAIRMAN: The Chair agrees that the questions
are divisible. I was hesitating because the Chair is perplex-
ec as to exactly what the meaning of the section with
both phrases in it would be if both were adopted.
Confusion arises in the mind of the Chair as
to whether the phrase "unless otherwise provided by law"
would then be applicable only to the exception or to the
principal part of the question, and not the exception,
or both.
