ning. So my feeling is, my own opinion is that we should

2

be limited to two terms. I think if he is n good governor,

3

he can get his program through in two terms ond if he

4

can't get it through in two terms, he is a bad governor,

5

and we ought to get rid of him just at the end of two

6

terms without even having any problem with him, so that's

7

my answer, such as it is on the first question.

8

The second question, Should the Constitution

9

provide for a method of succession to the governorship

10

in the event of physical or mental incapacity of the

11

Chief Executive?

12

I think it will be wise, I believe, to have a

13

Commission of State Officials including say, the State

14

Health Commissioner, the Commissioner of Mental Hygiene,

15

and the Attorney General, among others, to pass on the

16

question of a governor's capacity to continue serving,

17

under carefully prescribed conditions. Strict safeguards

18

should be spelled out, of course, to prevent any possible

19

abuse of the power. Neither the Legislature nor any member

20

of the Legislature should be involved in this Commission's

21

decision.
