This particular petition is not for putting recall up for a vote. There were two such efforts, but both fizzled for no reason I ever heard. This effort is to repel the 1945 emergency powers act from which GG is deriving her power to issue edicts - proclamations require no oversight, and the state of emergency can be extended every 28 days by the governor. It was superseded by a new act in 1976, because of just such abuse. The legislator denied her first extension under the 1976 act, but because the 1945 version was still on the books, she switched to that with the blessings of her corrupt AG. Once the petition passes muster, the legislator can repel the law, and Whitless can't veto the action.
