  • •No one else can do this—it's their job only.
  • •This rule was added in 1966.

Example

If the Governor gets very sick and can't work for a while, someone has to decide if they can come back.

Only the commission can go to the Supreme Court to ask, 'Is the Governor ready to work again?' No one else can make this request.
