Practice question: Question Hour

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

Written questions for a department head’s scheduled Senate question-hour appearance are submitted to the Senate President five days in advance. Assuming the schedule is otherwise proper, does this meet Section 22’s minimum notice requirement?
  1. No, because exactly three days and no more are allowed.
  2. Yes; five days is at least the constitutionally specified three days.
  3. No, because all written questions must be submitted a year before.
  4. No, because the Constitution forbids written questions.
  5. Yes, but only because written notice has no constitutional relevance.
