The Senate assembled at 12:00 Noon, the hour to which it stood adjourned and was called to order by the ACTING PRESIDENT, Senator DRUMMOND.
A quorum being present the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:
Beloved, we read in "Today's English Version", Proverbs, Chapter 3 (vv.3,4):
"Never let go of loyalty and faithfulness. Tie them around your neck; Write them on your heart. If you do this, both God and man will be pleased with you."
Let us pray.
O Lord, God of Creation, Ruler of men and of nations: in this quiet pause in today's busy schedule we turn from the clamor of the world, from drab duties, and dateline pressures, to open our minds and hearts to Your higher illumination.
Spare us from such preoccupation with the burdens of the day that we fail to see the distant scene.
We beseech your blessing upon thy servant Nikki Setzler and his family in the passing of his close relative, Terry Richardson.
We pay that our vision may be lifted beyond things as they ARE to a vision of a New World Order of things as the OUGHT to be.
May we hear... even in the "still small voice"... the words of the wise man of old... perhaps Solomon, and be loyal and faithful to the best that we know... today... in the Name of Solomon's God.
Amen.
The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.

Senator MARTSCHINK spoke on the Joint Resolution.
Read the first time and referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
Senator MULLINAX raised a Point of Order that the Resolution was out of order inasmuch as it violates the provisions of Article XVI, Section 1 of the S.C. Constitution insofar as the Resolution attempts to amend several articles of the S.C. Constitution. In other words, this Joint Resolution attempts to do indirectly what Section 1 of Article XVI of the Constitution directly prohibits.
Additionally, the subject matter of this resolution by its very wording contemplates several questions and therefore would be out of order as well under Section 2 of Article XVI.
Specifically, I would further note that Article IV of the Constitution sets forth the powers and duties, the responsibilities of and the constraints on the Executive Department. If the interest and effort behind the Joint Resolution is to remove or change certain constitutional officers, then Section 7 of Article VI must be amended.
Lastly, I would call the President's attention to the provisions of Article XII of the Constitution wherein it confers upon the General Assembly the complete power to "provide appropriate agencies" and to "determine the activities, powers, and duties of such agencies."
The PRESIDENT took the Point of Order under advisement.
Senator MARTSCHINK continued speaking on the Resolution.
Senator LEATHERMAN raised a Point of Order that the debate was out of order on the Resolution inasmuch as the Resolution had been introduced and referred and was not presently before the body.
The PRESIDENT stated that under the provisions of Rule 28, a member is granted leave to make a brief statement upon the introduction of a Bill or Resolution.
