> Yes. But it's confusing me that Art III, Sec. 2 is intertwined with Sec. 1 which IMO is talking about measures that are to be taken immediately after the declaration of independence.
Than Article III Sec.2 needs to be listed when discussing this provision. Articles in a constitution need to be independent instructions that define a common theme. If they cannot stand on their own, they need to be looked at.
> Thus Sec. 2 seems to suggest something that *the first Dean ever* shall have to do immediately. No section of Article 3 mentions what is supposed to happen in case of regular Dean elections (Section 4 a just mentions the 6-months term of the Dean).
Then that definition needs to be spelled out specifically.
This is the law of the land we are talking about here.
If it doesn't clarify things, it isn't doing its job.
> I didn't mean to recommend legislating from the bench, but now I see that it sounded like this. I like the way how you clarified what we are supposed to do.
All we have are the words they have written.
That's our job my justice friend, that's our job. :-)
