Question on submitting amendments and four year terms
The letter asks if a joint resolution to re submit amendments must go back to the people or wait another legislature. It also inquires if a proposed fall amendment would lengthen House terms to four years and whether the Governor would sign and submit it if passed and ratified. The attorney general notes no statute requires a public opinion opinion in such matters and that John M. Daniel, South Carolina Attorney General, is reviewing the issue in Columbia on June 2, 1926.
