| chair said that having heard the subject
discussed privately, he bad given the
same attention, and would decide that
without Constitutional limit, the House
had the inherent power 10 sit "a long as

once removed by the proper vote, the

sired by a majority vote, This settled

prescribed in the bill, il should be law
