Draft Constitution Proposes Maryland Presidency Reforms
The text outlines a proposed constitution with a ten year Governor term for Maryland and powers to refuse extradition when a fair trial is unlikely. It restricts voting to those over 25 and excludes recipients of public treasury benefits in the five years before an election. Ballots would list candidates only, with no party labels. The draft also guarantees habeas corpus and limits martial law to militia members.
