Article V, section 5, reads: ANY
persons may be elected q member OF e
House of Delegates. who. at the time of
the election. is actually a resident in the
county city, town. or election district,
qualified to vote for members OF the
General Assembly according to this Con-
stitution. But no person holdins a sala-
red office under the State government
shall be capable OF being elected to either
branch of the General Assembly. The
removal of any person elected to either
branch of the General Assembly from
the city, county, town. or distric; for
which he was elected, shall vacate his

1t will be observed that the Cohsti-
tuition, while it prohibited State officers
from membership, it was silent as to
Federal office holders. The new Consti-
tuition recognizing the principle that Con-
stitutions and not statutes fix TIE quail
ficution of members. embodied the sta
tutes 163 and 162 OF the Code in that
instrument. It is respectfully submitted
that this or no future legislature could
add to or take from those qualifications.
Mr.. Mclean holds his title to a seat in
this Legislature by virtue Of the Con-
