Delegate Gill.
DELEGATE GILL: I would like to speak in favor
of the majority report.
THE CHAIRMAN: Proceed.
DELEGATE GILL: I think we should write into
the Constitution something that fits Maryland rather than
what the other states are doing. We should only use what
the other states are doing as a guide. With that in mind,
I would like to differ with Delegate Della in believing
that we must be consistent in each of our provisions. I
think that is good at times but if at times we should
deviate from that, it may be wise to do so.
With that in mind, I would like to just review
some of the things that we have done that shows that we
have approved of constitutional majorities for several
articles and sections, o" for several sections.
In 3.12, the Legislative Branch, we approved
constitutional majority in order to extend the session to
the second 30 days, and also to call a special session.
In the Executive Branch we have already approved the consti-
tutional majority for the return of vetoed bills, in 4.17.
