Kaunamano, all holding seats in the
Legislature, be it resolved that the
Judiciary Committee inquire, Q)
whether member of the Privy Coun-
Gil is an executive officer of this Gov
eminent? (2) il such is the case is he
entitled to hold seat AS an elective
member of this House?
Rep. Ashford said it was serious
and vital question and demanded the
attention of the House. He read
FROM Article 10 of the Constitution.
He did not believe it was the inten
ton to have the application extended
as far as some think, for instance to
the position of notary public; thought
that member of the Privy Council
was far more of an executive officer
than notary public; they, the Privy
Council members, had executive
functions to perform, they advise the
Sovereign and she cannot act without
their consent in the matter of the
use of the pardoning power; they
can grant money without the consent
of the Legislature; did not sonslder
that the members named should in
any way vote on this question.
