Senator McKool offered the follow-
ing resolution:
WHEREAS, By statute the Gov-
ernor has been given the power to
fill by appointment numerous regula-
tory offices, boards and commissions
constituting units of state administra-
tion; and
WHEREAS, The Texas Constitu-
tion, in Article 4, Section 12, gives
the governor extensive power to fill
vacancies in state and district offices,
except legislative vacancies; and
WHEREAS, Appointments of both
types are subject to the advice and
consent of the Senate, which in this
jurisdiction is exercising executive
rather than legislative authority; and
WHEREAS, Framers of the Con-
stitution and authors of statutes cre-
ating numerous regulatory offices,
boards and commissions have thus
looked to the Senate to investigate
and judge the qualifications and char-
acter of those appointees subject to
confirmation; and
WHEREAS, Despite these safe-
guards the system has one major
weakness in that regulatory bodies
at both federal and state levels, by
virtue of the need to have appointees
knowledgeable in the problems faced
by the particular industry being reg-
ulated, tend to become controlled by
those industries or businesses they46
