Practice question
A House obtains the required two-thirds concurrence to suspend a Member for disorderly behavior for seventy-five days. Is that duration permitted by Article VI, Section 16(3)?
- Yes, because obtaining two-thirds removes all duration limits.
- Yes, if the Member receives allowances.
- Yes, if the suspension is called an internal rule.
- No, because a disciplinary suspension under the provision may not exceed sixty days.
- No, because a House may never suspend a Member.
