Iowa Judge Rules Amendment Invalid in County Attorney Case
Judge A R Dewey set aside the Titus amendment ruling it was not legally adopted or submitted. Relator Marsh W Bailey seeks the Washington County Attorney office, alleging Brookhart holds it unlawfully since a 1900 amendment sought biennial elections but failed proper submission. The opinion details the legislative process and constitutional requirements for amendments.

Constitutional amendment process discussed and challenged
A court scrutinizes whether amendments to a state constitution were properly proposed and entered on the journals. It questions the integrity of legislative records and argues that the people’s right to alter the fundamental law must be informed by formally preserved journal entries and orderly procedure. The opinion cites debates from 1857 and contrasts actual records with claimed Senate actions.
