Claiming that a subpoena issued by the special impeachment committee of the Connecticut House of Representatives last week compelling him to appear before that committee early next week violates the Separation of Powers inherent in the State's Constitution, Governor John Rowland (R-Connecticut) has formally moved to quash the subpoena in court. As a result, all three branches of the Connecticut State government- Executive, Legislative and Judicial- are now somehow involved in sorting out the arcana of legalities relating to the Legislature's investigation of possible corruption by the embattled Governor, an investigation that could eventually lead to his removal from office. While advancing the claim filed on the Governor's behalf, spokesmen for Governor Rowland have said that the Governor is not at all stonewalling the committee or otherwise attempting to evade testifying before the Select Committee of Inquiry, that Rowland looks forward to the day when he can tell his side of the story, but they also firmly state that the Governor will not testify until and unless the subpoena is vacated, whether by action of the committee or by court order. The State House committee's subpoena had ordered the Governor to appear before the committee no later than Tuesday 8 June. Time is of the essence because the Select Committee is required to report back to the State House of Representatives, the lower house of the Connecticut General Assembly, no later than Wednesday 30 June. If the committee should recommend impeachment of the Governor, the full House of Representatives would then vote on impeachment (approval of which requires but a simple majority) and the Governor would- upon such approval- actually be tried by the Senate, the upper house of the State's General Assembly. During the trial before the Senate, Governor Rowland would be required to (however temporarily, depending on the outcome) give up the powers and duties of his office; Lieutenant Governor M. Jodi Rell (R-Connecticut) would be "acting Governor" during such a period. http://www.TheGreenPapers.com/G04/CT.phtml#G ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wednesday, May 26, 2004 Democratic Unpledged delegate update.
