The .aritendmenl?jaljg^HH^^^HMaktilar session every
during the 1969 Thirteen
special sessions have been
called since 1800, ihe roost
recent in 1966, which was
called to r ea pportion
congressional and state
legislative districts.
There were strong support
among legislators in the 1969
session tor the proposed,
amendment. Its sponsors easily
attained the three-fifths vote of
each house to submit the
constitutional change to
people.
There was no similar
enthusiasm, however, for
measures designed to increase
the power of tht executive
branch. Turned down by the
1969 session were three
proposed amendments that
would have:
-Allowed voters to elect the
governor and lieutenant
fovernor to two successive
our-year terms.
-Given the governor the
veto, suject to being overridden
by a three-fifths vote of each
house. (North Carolina is the
only state in which the
governor has no veto).
-Reduced the number of
elected state executives from
ten to five, allowing the
governor to appoint most of
tlte others.
This tradition of the
legislative branch retaining
most of the governmental
power is an old one in North
Carolina. When Charles II
granted to the lords proprietors
their exclusive and extensive
powers over the new colony,
he stipulated that laws were
only to be passed with the
"advice, assent and
approbation of the freemen,or
the greater part of thein, or of
their delegates..."
And modern governors will
attest to the powers of the
General Assembly even though
none of them ever suffered tne
Siblem of the royal Gov.
briel Johnston, who, in
theory at least, represented all
the might of the British crown.
Johnston, governor from
1734 to 1752, died with his
salary 14 years in arrears.
The General Assembly,
which held the purse strings,
lias refused to pay him.
If the voters approve the
proposed amendment, it will
take effect July 1,1971.
