[edit] Governor & Lieutenant Governor

An editor added the following note to the main article:

The lieutenant governor presides, as president, over the council in place of the governor but he has no vote. However, when the governor presides over the council, as its president, then the lieutenant governor is a regular member of the council, and, thus, does have a vote.

I read the Constitution as stating expressly that neither the governor nor lieutenant governor have a vote, and I removed the edit, although I can see how this interpretation derives. Is there an authority that says this directly? ► DRTïllberġ ◄Talk 02:47, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
