MACK, Associate Judge,
concurring in the result only:
Although I am bound by M.A.P. v. Ryan, 285 A.2d 310 (D.C.1971), to observe prior decisions rendered by this court, I believe the arguments I advanced in my separate opinion in Gary v. United States, 499 A.2d *292815, 849 (D.C.1985) (en banc) (Mack, J., dissenting in part and concurring in part), supporting the constitutionality of the one house of Congress veto of legislative enactments of the Council of the District of Columbia, D.C.Code § 1-233(c)(2) (1981) apply with equal force to support the constitutionality of the concurrent resolution mechanism of the charter amendment provision at issue here, D.C.Code § 1-205(b) (1981). I therefore concur in the result only.
