BIENNIAL GENERAL ELECTION FOR REPRESENT-
ATIVES IN CONGRESS, AFTER THE ADOPTION OF
THIS AMENDMENT A JUDGE SHALL BE ELECTED
BY THE QUALIFIED VOTERS OF ANNE ARUNDEL,
BALTIMORE, KENT, AND ST. MARY'S, TALBOT, AND
WORCESTER COUNTIES, RESPECTIVELY, TO FILL
SUCH VACANCY IN EACH COUNTY. ANY OTHER
VACANCY IN THE OFFICE OF JUDGE OF THE CIR-
CUIT COURT FOR ANNE ARUNDEL, BALTIMORE,
KENT, AND ST. MARY'S, TALBOT, AND WORCESTER
COUNTIES SHALL BE FILLED AS PROVIDED IN
SECTIONS 3 AND 5 OF THIS ARTICLE.

The said judges shall hold such terms of the Circuit
Court in each of the counties composing their respective
circuits, at such times as are now prescribed or may here-
after be prescribed by rules or regulations by the Court of
Appeals or otherwise by law. One judge in each of the first
[said] seven circuits shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of any business; and the said judges, or any of
them, may hold special terms of their Courts, when in their
discretion, the business of the several counties renders such
terms necessary.

All provisions of the Constitution of Maryland and all
Acts of the General Assembly relating to the Court of
Appeals or any other courts, and all rules heretofore
adopted by the Court of Appeals, not inconsistent with the
provisions of the sections amended or added by this
amendment, shall remain in full force and effect unless
and until amended or repealed by proper authority. All
salaries now prescribed by law for associate judges of
the Circuit Courts shall continue to apply to all judges
(including chief judges) of the Circuit Court [who are
not judges of the Court of Appeals]. No member of the
General Assembly at which [this amendment] either of
these amendments was proposed, if otherwise qualified,
shall be ineligible for appointment or election as judge of
the Court of Appeals or any other court by reason of his
membership in such General Assembly. [All appeals and
other matters pending in the Court of Appeals on January
1, 1945, shall be proceeded with and determined by the
Court as hereby constituted.]

In the event and to the extent of any inconsistency
between the provisions of any section amended or added
by [this amendment] these amendments and any of the
other provisions of this Constitution or the provisions of
