THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Borom.
DELEGATE BOROM: Mr. Chairman,
I would like to suggest to the Chairman of
the Committee on the Executive Branch
that section 4. 08 ought to be entitled "Re-
moval of Governor and Lieutenant Governor
from office. " This is a housekeeping chore,
I think since we have expanded the sense
of that section.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Morgan.
DELEGATE MORGAN: Mr. Chairman,
I ask unanimous consent that that change
be made.
THE CHAIRMAN: State the change,
please.
DELEGATE MORGAN: In line 34,
after the word "governor" —
THE CHAIRMAN: On what page?
DELEGATE MORGAN: Page 3, line 34,
after the word "governor", insert "and
Lieutenant-Governor".
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there any objec-
tion to the amendment in the recommenda-
tion that in line 34, page 3, after the word
"governor" the words "and lieutenant gov-
ernor" be inserted?
(There was no response. )
There being no objection, the change
will be made.
Any further amendments to section 4. 08?
(There was no response. )
Are there any amendments to section
4. 09?
(There was no response. )
The Chair hears none. Are there any
amendments to section 4. 10?
