to be represented by an elected representative. That is
|
|
2
|
the way I feel .

|
DELEGATE HANDEL: That's the way Congress does
|
|
4
|
it. If there is a vacancy in the House of Representa-
|
|
5
|
tives, there is a special election. If there is a vacan-
|
|
6
|
cy in the Senate, it's appointed.

SENATOR HUGHES: For six years, if he dies

the day after he is sworn in.

THE CHAIRMAN: Any further comment on that?
|
|
10
|
All right, let's move on. We answered some of these,
|
|
11
|
but let's go back to this matter of residency in the
|
|
12
|
State, in the county, what requirements as to eligibility
|
|
13
|
of a member of the legislature should be included in the
|
|
14
|
new Constitution? Should there be a residency require-
|
|
15
|
ment in the State or in the county or legislative distric
|
|
16
|
Should only a registered voter be eligible? How about
|
|
17
|
that? What residency requirement would you have for
|
|
18
|
those who would run for office in the legislature?
|
|
19
|
MR. ENEY: And you are talking here not about
|
|
20
|
what should be required, but what should be required in
|
|
21
|
the Constitution.
