After the message, a vote was taken upon the adop-
tion of the proposed XVth amendment, with above
result. The Speaker ruled, that for ordinary legisla
tion the State constitution prescribes that two-thirds
of the House (or 67 members present and answering
to their names) constitutes a quorum, but it does not
define what number of members, more than a simple
majority of the legislature, shall be sufficient to act
upon a proposed amendment to the United States
Constitution. He therefore declared the resolution
adopted.
