Reply #15: I hear what you are saying; however, as I stated above

I hear what you are saying; however, as I stated above, Governor Romney (or any governor) is within his legal authority to do as Romney did. Why is that so? Because our Massachusetts constitution says he can, period. I've posted the MA con, in pertinents parts, above. Did you read it?

Only an amendment to our Massachusetts constitution may change this. And it takes two sessions of both Massachusetts legislative houses in two consecutive years to pass a potential amendment plus the following year of such potential amendment placed on the Massachusetts ballot for a public vote, up or down. Until that time, the authority remains within the governor.

As for my own opinion, Romney did well in what he did. As I stated earlier, Romney spelled-out what "good and reputable character" and what "moral character" may mean for those who qualify and remain as notaries public. It makes it easier not harder. And there's no underlying agenda as you suggest.
