Motions and Resolutions
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 331.
A resolution of tribute to offered as a memorial for Sharon Gire, former member of the House of Representatives.
Whereas, The House of Representatives was greatly saddened to learn of the passing of Sharon Gire. She will be remembered as a strong advocate for her constituents in Macomb County and the entire state of Michigan; and
Whereas, Sharon Gire was born in Columbus, Ohio in 1944. After earning a bachelor’s degree in Education from The Ohio State University and a master’s degree in Social Work from Wayne State University, she began her lengthy career in public service. In 1977, Ms. Gire was elected as a member of the Mount Clemens City Commission, where she later served as Mayor Pro-Tem. Ms. Gire would also serve as a member of the Macomb County Board of Commissioners before being elected in 1986 to the Michigan House of Representatives where she served 6 terms representing the 72nd and 31st Districts; and
Whereas, Throughout her time in the Legislature, Representative Gire served with distinction as the Chair of the committees on the Constitution and Women’s Issues; Social Services and Youth; Human Services and Children; and Education. She was also entrusted with leadership roles on the committees on the Constitution, Interstate and Federal Relations; Economic Development and Energy; Civil Rights; Constitution and Women’s Issues; Consumers; and Human Services, in addition to serving as a member of the committees on Judiciary; Public Health and Health Policy; Senior Citizens and Retirement; Housing and Urban Affairs; and Consumer Protection; also serving as the Associate Speaker Pro Tempore. During her tenure, Representative Gire was responsible for the development of policies in education, child and family welfare, and health care; and
Whereas, After leaving the
legislature, Sharon Gire won statewide election as a member of the State Board
of Education where she later served as Vice-President. In 2003, she was
appointed by Governor Granholm as the Director of the Michigan Office of
Services to the Aging, where she played a pivotal role in helping to protect
and care for Michigan’s seniors until 2010. She also continued to be an active
member of many civic organizations and received numerous awards in recognition
of her achievements from organizations such as the Michigan Association for
Local Public Health, The Council on Maternal and Child Health, and the Detroit
Chapter of the National Organization of Women; and
Whereas, Sharon Gire leaves behind a legacy as an effective advocate for her constituents and the members of her community, which is evidenced by her many accomplishments. Her dedication to public service serves as shining example for all those who follow in her footsteps. Ms. Gire was married to her husband, Dana, for fifty-six years and they were brought back together again in the afterlife, as Dana would also pass away merely days after Sharon’s untimely death. We offer condolences to her family and friends. Sharon Gire’s contributions to this chamber and our state will long be remembered; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Sharon Gire, former member of the Michigan House of Representatives from 1987 to 1998; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Gire family as evidence of our lasting esteem for her memory.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.

Messages from the Governor
The following message from the Governor was received September 21, 2022 and read:
EXECUTIVE ORDER
No. 2022-11
Department of Technology, Management, and Budget
Michigan Center for Data and Analytics
To get things done for the people of Michigan, state government needs the best possible information. In the twenty-first century, that means both access to data and the ability to analyze and use it effectively. By establishing the Michigan Center for Data and Analytics (“Center”), we can bring the State of Michigan’s information and analytical capabilities together to increase knowledge and informed decision making. We can also identify areas where state actions can be most effective. Creating the Center will build on our efforts, reflected in Executive Order 2016-24, to establish enterprise information management architecture and centralized mechanisms for information sharing and analysis.
Properly analyzed, data can provide us with insights that we can use to move Michigan forward. These insights will also open new possibilities for collaboration with problem solvers inside and outside of government to address the most important challenges Michiganders face. We can study wage, employment history, and benefit programs to grow the middle class. We can direct economic development investments to bolster a wide range of industries and empower small businesses in every region of Michigan. We can better understand how to mitigate the economic impacts of climate change. We can reduce crime and recidivism by linking workforce and corrections data to identify which programs are most successful in connecting people to jobs. We can connect health and education systems to learn how to put our children on the strongest path to success.
Developing Michigan’s data capabilities also enhances coordination across state agencies. Information should not be siloed. Instead, it should be appropriately used across government to make decisions and coordinate resources.
Information should also be
protected and used appropriately. Safe management and storage is a critical
aspect of the state’s responsibility. Establishment of the Center will build on
the work of the departments to increase our ability to use data without
jeopardizing its security and integrity.
A dedicated Center, housed within the Department of Technology, Management, and Budget (“Department”), will provide Michigan with the expertise to analyze large datasets, understand the challenges we face, and evaluate solutions. The Center will also facilitate cooperation and information-sharing between departments and independent agencies. Unleashing the state’s data potential will help us build a stronger Michigan.
Section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the State of Michigan in the governor.
Section 2 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 empowers the governor to make changes in the organization of the executive branch of state government or in the assignment of functions among its units that the governor considers necessary for efficient administration.
Acting under the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:
1. Under MCL 16.107, the Department must create the Michigan Center for Data and Analytics. The Chief Data Officer, established by Executive Order 2016-24, shall serve as Director of the Center (“Director”).
2. The Center will consult with the Enterprise Information Management Steering Committee established by Executive Order 2016-24 to establish evidence-based policy priorities, share best practices, and discuss cross-departmental initiatives.
3. As set forth in MCL 18.1124(3), all departments and agencies are required to cooperate with the Department to facilitate the sharing of data. The Center is created to ensure the state can efficiently and safely share and analyze information in order to increase the state’s access to evidence-based insights and to better inform decision makers.
4. Departments and agencies must provide the Center with access to Government Data held by their departments or agencies upon request of the Director or their designee. For the purposes of this Executive Order, “Government Data” is defined as any information created, received, maintained, or stored by or otherwise in the control of a department or agency covered by this order, regardless of the form or the media on which the information is recorded.
5. Pursuant to MCL 18.1124(3), the Chief Information Officer must “determine data ownership assignments among executive branch departments and agencies.” By virtue of this order, the Chief Information Officer confirms that each executive branch department or agency retains ownership of Government Data created, received, maintained, or stored by or otherwise in the control of that department or agency. All requests for Government Data from entities not covered by this order, including but not limited to, requests pursuant to civil process or the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, MCL 15.231 et seq., must be processed by the department or agency that retains ownership of the Government Data, as required by law.
6. Each department and agency, including DTMB and the Center, has a responsibility to protect all Government Data in its possession or control. Where two or more departments and agencies have access to the same data, each has an independent responsibility to secure their means of access to the Government Data.
7. This order is not intended to alter any statute, regulation, or written agreement that governs the collection, storage, or use of any Government Data.
8. Where access to or sharing of data is prohibited by written agreement or by law, including federal law or regulation and state law or regulation, the department or agency must provide the Director or their designee with a written notice including the text of the applicable prohibition. Where access to or sharing of data is restricted by written agreement or by law, including federal law or regulation and state law or regulation, the department or agency must work with the Director or their designee to establish procedures to allow relevant portions of the Government Data to be accessed by the Center. Such procedures may include but are not limited to redacting or anonymizing the Government Data or providing additional protections to comply with applicable restrictions.
9. The Center will not share Government Data with entities not covered by this order unless the department or agency that has ownership of that Government Data agrees and such sharing is permitted under the applicable law and regulations. Any sharing of Government Data will be done in accordance with the provisions of section 8 of this order. Where individual-level data is necessary, any required matching and suppression work will be handled by the Center before any further dissemination or re-disclosure.
10. If a department or agency reasonably believes that information is not Government Data, the department or agency must provide written documentation to the Director with respect to that concern. Upon review of that written document, the Director may exempt that information from sharing pursuant to this order.
11. To comply with the requirements of the U.S. Department of Labor, Executive Order 2020-107 is amended to add new Section (1)(a)(8) “The State Adult Education Director” and to add new Section (1)(a)(9) “The Director of Michigan Rehabilitation Services.”
12. This order is effective upon filing.
Given under my hand and the great seal of the State of Michigan.

Messages from the Governor
The following veto message from the Governor was received and read:

Michigan House of Representatives
State Capitol Building
Lansing, MI 48909-7514
Representatives,
Today, I return House Bills 4494 and 4495 to you without my signature. If enacted into law, the bills would decrease consumer safety protections.
Licensure at its core is designed to protect Michiganders, and ready access to information about licensed professionals allows members of the public to protect themselves from unscrupulous actors. When it comes to licensure, transparency is the key to public safety.
Enrolled House Bills 4494 and 4495 would prohibit the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs from furnishing any list of information that contains a phone number or email address of a licensee or registrant. This change would deprive members of the public of information they may need to make an informed choice about whether to work with a particular licensed professional.
Respectfully,
Gretchen Whitmer
Governor
The question being on the passage of the bill, the objections of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding,
Rep. Frederick moved that the bill be re-referred to the Committee on Regulatory Reform.
The motion prevailed.

Representatives,
In 2019, Republicans and Democrats came together to pass landmark “Raise the Age” laws. One of those laws ensured that juveniles under the age of 18 would not be transported alongside adults. Not nine months after the “Raise the Age” laws took effect, however, Enrolled House Bill 4887 would change the law to allow juveniles aged 16 and 17 to be transported with adult offenders.
It is risky to transport two offenders of any age together. The risks are orders of magnitude greater when one individual is a juvenile. Violence or threats of violence against the younger party not only cause harm to juveniles in the State’s charge; they also impair law enforcement efforts to conduct criminal investigations without interference.
In addition, the bill is out of step with national standards on the detention of juveniles and adults. The Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, 42 U.S.C. § 5601 et seq., prohibits law enforcement from detaining juveniles alongside adults in a secure facility. The message is clear: adults and juveniles should rarely if ever be detained together.
Finally, this bill opens the state to legal liability. A law enforcement officer charged with supervising juveniles alongside adults may later be put in the difficult position of defending against a claim of failure to protect a juvenile. As recently as 2020, Michigan agreed to pay an $80 million settlement related to incarcerated teenagers’ claims of sexual abuse in adult prisons. This bill invites similar litigation at taxpayer expense.
I am therefore returning Enrolled House Bill 4887 without my approval.

Representatives,
Today, I am returning Enrolled House Bill 5686 to you without my approval.
As a service to school districts, the Michigan Department of Education has created the Pupil Accounting Manual to offer guidance on how to comply with state law. Our schools must respond in real time to changing circumstances—and our state guidance and technical assistance must keep pace with those changes. As such, it is essential to allow continued flexibility for state-level administrators to advise local administrators. House Bill 5686 works at cross-purposes to that goal by needlessly extending and complicating the process of publishing changes to the Pupil Accounting Manual.
While we disagree on this bill, I look forward to continuing to work together to make historic investments in public education for Michigan.
Respectfully,
Gretchen Whitmer

The following line items veto message from the Governor was received and read:
Executive Office, Lansing, July 20, 2022
Michigan Legislature
State Capitol
Lansing, MI 48909
Representatives,
Today I was proud to sign Enrolled House Bill 5783, which forms the Fiscal Year 2023 state budget. This is the fourth balanced, bipartisan budget I have signed since taking office. It is fiscally responsible, does not raise taxes by a dime, increases our state’s rainy-day fund to an all-time high of $1.6 billion and pays down billions in debt. Our collaboration on this budget proves that when we work together, we can deliver on the kitchen-table priorities that matter most—growing the middle class, supporting our small businesses, and investing in our communities.
It must be noted the Public Health Code gives health officials the tools they need to protect people from epidemic diseases. The legislature cannot unwind the Public Health Code in a budget bill or un-appropriate funds because they take issue with the actions of local health departments. Budget boilerplate that purports to prohibit state or local health officials from issuing mask and quarantine orders or to penalize local health departments for using their powers under the Public Health Code violates the Michigan Constitution.
I also note that provisions in House Bill 5783 that express intent, advice, or preferences of the Legislature do not impose conditions upon appropriations and are non-binding.
Finally, I am striking multiple items that undermine a woman’s ability to make her own medical decisions with her trusted health care provider. I want to provide every possible resource to women who are pregnant, seeking to start a family, or those who aren’t ready yet, but I cannot support aspects of a bill that are connected to efforts to intentionally deceive women and withhold accurate information about their health, bodies, and full reproductive freedom when they face a vulnerable time in their lives. I will continue to oppose any efforts to strip away fundamental rights from women or get in the way of doctors’ ability to do their jobs.
The items vetoed are detailed in the attached copy of the bill that has been filed with the Secretary of State.
In addition, I note the following boilerplate provisions that violate the Michigan Constitution and will therefore not take effect:
1. Article 3, section 2 of the Michigan Constitution provides: “The powers of government are divided into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. No person exercising powers of one branch shall exercise powers properly belonging to another branch except as expressly provided in this constitution.” Core executive branch functions include management of department operations; hiring, discipline, and management of personnel; and deliberative decision-making, among others. Boilerplate that attempts to insert the legislature into core executive functions violates the constitutional separation of powers. Accordingly, each of the following provisions is unenforceable:
• Certain boilerplate provisions that appear in multiple articles, such as Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Article 1, sections 215, 217, and 218.
• Department of Corrections, Article 2, sections 304, and 324.
• General Government, Article 5, sections 229, 314(3), 714, 718, 816, and 947.
• Department of Health and Human Services, Article 6, sections 225, 229, 595, and 1222(4).
• Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Article 9, Section 235.
• Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, Article 10, section 453. Section 224 is also unenforceable to the extent that it bars the department from taking an action otherwise permitted by law.
• Department of State Police, Article 12, sections 226, 233, 601(2), 602(2)-(5), 603(3), 701(3)‑(4), 702(2)-(8), and 704(8)-(9).
• Department of Transportation, Article 13, sections 353 and 357.
2. Article 4, section 22 of the Michigan Constitution provides: “All legislation shall be by bill and may originate in either house.” Moreover, article 4, section 33 of the Michigan Constitution provides, in part: “Every bill passed by the legislature shall be presented to the governor before it becomes law . . . .” Boilerplate that purports to authorize legislation other than by bill, such as section 218 of Article 1, impermissibly skirts the bill requirement of section 22 and the presentment requirement of section 33 and is therefore unenforceable.
3. Article 4, section 24 of the Michigan Constitution provides, in part: “No law shall embrace more than one object, which shall be expressed in its title.” Accordingly, because each introduces a second object into HB 5783, the following provisions are unenforceable:
• Department of Transportation, Article 13, sections 601 and 660(2).
4. Article 4, section 25 of the Michigan Constitution provides: “No law shall be revised, altered, or amended by reference to its title only. The section or sections of the act altered or amended shall be re‑enacted and published at length.” Boilerplate that alters statutory requirements with reenactment and publication is therefore unconstitutional and void. Accordingly, each of the following provisions is unenforceable:
• Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, Article 4, sections 225 and 237.
• General Government, Article 5, sections 229, 624, 625, 718, 983, and 1009.
• Department of Health and Human Services, Article 6, sections 250, 595, 1222(4), 1305, and 1347.
• Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Article 9, section 803.
• Department of Transportation, Article 13, section 382.
5. Article
4, section 53 of the Michigan Constitution provides: “[The Auditor General]
shall be assigned no duties other than those specified in this section.” Any
provision that assigns the Legislative Auditor General powers and duties
other than those provided for in that section is therefore unconstitutional.
6. Article 5, section 28 of the Michigan Constitution provides, in part: “There is hereby established a state transportation commission, which shall establish policy for the state transportation department transportation programs and facilities, and such other public works of the state, as provided by law.” Any provision that dictates spending priorities reserved to the State Transportation Commission is therefore unconstitutional.
7. Article 11, section 5 of the Michigan Constitution vests the power to “regulate all conditions of employment in the classified service” in the Civil Service Commission. Any provision that abrogates that exclusive grant of authority is therefore unconstitutional.
Thank you for your attention to these matters. I know that if we continue working together to get things done, there is no limit to what we can accomplish. In the months ahead, I look forward to continuing in this spirit of collaboration to offer Michiganders immediate relief as they face rising prices on everyday expenses. Let us use the $7 billion we still have on the state balance sheet to deliver real inflation relief to working families. Let us continue to put Michiganders first.
Sincerely,
Gretchen Whitmer
Governor

Lansing, MI 48909-7514
Representatives,
Today, I am returning Enrolled House Bills 5558 and 5559 to you without my approval.
These bills are intended to politicize scientific, lifesaving research on conditions such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, ALS, leukemia, and more. These bills are not rooted in evidence-based policymaking. Instead, they aim to create confusion, spur litigation, and sow fear. I will not sign them.
I urge you to discontinue the politicization of health care, end your support for a near-total abortion ban in Michigan, and work together to support women and doctors instead of introducing legislation that endangers people, including your recent bill to put nurses and doctors in jail for providing abortion care.
I look forward to working with you on more productive legislation in the future.
Respectfully,
Gretchen Whitmer

Reps. Brenda Carter, Cavanagh, Pohutsky, Brabec, Tyrone Carter, Ellison, Breen, Kuppa, Koleszar, Stone, Glanville, Morse, Pepper, Thanedar, Hood, Weiss, Yancey, Hope, Cynthia Johnson and Manoogian offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 332.
A resolution to urge the United States Congress to require firearm owners to purchase liability insurance.
Whereas, Firearm liability insurance policies generally cover losses or damages resulting from any negligent or accidental use of a firearm, including death, injury, or property damage. Firearm liability insurance may be available as part of homeowners insurance, through a separate policy, or via another avenue; and
Whereas, Mandating the purchase of liability insurance for firearm owners is thought to decrease firearm violence. The cost of insurance may deter some people from owning firearms or may at least deter them from owning multiple firearms. Requiring the purchase of liability insurance would protect both the purchaser and the community. The purchaser would be protected in the event the firearm were stolen and used to commit crimes. The community would be protected as anyone injured would be made whole; and
Whereas, Some states have introduced legislation that would mandate the purchase of firearm liability insurance after the Newtown, Connecticut, school shooting, but nothing has been enacted. However, in the winter of 2022, the San Jose, California city council passed an ordinance requiring most of the city’s firearm owners to carry liability insurance for accidental shootings; and
Whereas, This type of mandate
should be enacted on the federal level to cover firearm owners across the
nation and avoid a patchwork of state and local laws. Sufficient federal
legislation would not only mandate firearm liability insurance for all firearm
owners, but would expand coverage to include accidental injury or death to
those inside the household (such as a child getting a hold of the weapon and
shooting a sibling) as well as the intentional use of the firearm in the event
that it is stolen (such as a student bringing their parent’s firearm to school
and then using it to shoot others; and
Whereas, While requiring liability insurance does not completely solve the problem of firearm violence, it can help to substantially reduce it; now, therefore be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the United States Congress to require firearm owners to purchase liability insurance; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Military, Veterans and Homeland Security.
Reps. Tate, Cynthia Johnson, Kuppa, Manoogian, Morse, Sowerby and Stone offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 333.
A resolution to urge the United States Department of Justice, including the United States Attorney for the Western District of Michigan, to investigate various members of the Michigan House of Representatives for the crime of seditious conspiracy.
Whereas, The United States of America conducts its presidential election every four years. This tradition of United States presidential elections began with the election of George Washington in 1789 and has continued to enable the peaceful transition of power for more than 200 years. Even in some of our nation’s most contested elections, such as when George W. Bush defeated Al Gore in the 2000 presidential election, elections have been certified on time and power has passed between political parties, in respect for our republican form of government; and
Whereas, Under Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution, the President and Vice President of the United States are formally elected by the Electoral College, and states may choose how electors are appointed to the Electoral College. The Michigan Election Law states that, when Michigan voters cast their ballots for President of the United States, they are technically electing presidential electors nominated by the political party of that presidential candidate. The electors chosen by the popular vote then convene in the Michigan Capitol and must cast their votes for the candidates for President and Vice President of the United States of their political party. If they refuse to vote for these candidates or vote for another individual, their vote is not recorded, and the remaining electors fill the vacancy; and
Whereas, In November of 2020, Joseph R. Biden was elected as President of the United States and Kamala D. Harris was elected as Vice President of the United States, both in Michigan and by the Electoral College. The Michigan Secretary of State reports that Biden received 2,804,040 votes, while Trump received 2,649,852 votes, a margin of 154,188 votes. According to the National Archives, Biden received 306 votes in the Electoral College, more than the 270 votes needed to reach a majority; and
Whereas, Instead of aiding in the peaceful transition of power, as has occurred in the vast majority of elections in this country’s history of over two centuries, former President Donald J. Trump and other Republicans delayed the certification of state elections for the office of President of the United States and the certification of the votes of the Electoral College by the United States Congress on January 6, 2021. Donald Trump coordinated with state lawmakers throughout the country, including in Michigan, in an attempt to fraudulently award electoral votes to Trump in states where he did not win the popular vote. Bridge Michigan reports that the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol heard testimony that the conspiracy to cast votes using fake electors included 7 states that Donald Trump lost: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin; and
Whereas, On December 14th, 2020, Michigan’s 16 presidential electors nominated by the Democratic Party convened in the Michigan State Capitol to cast their official votes for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, in accordance with the results of the popular vote in this state. According to Bridge Michigan, the 16 electors nominated by the Republican Party had considered camping out in the Capitol the night of December 13th, in order to be present for the vote. The Detroit News reports that these 16 electors attempted to enter the Capitol on December 14th, along with 5 sitting State Representatives: Rep. Matt Maddock of the Forty‑Fourth District, Rep. Daire Rendon of the One Hundred Third District, Rep. John Reilly of the Forty‑Sixth District, Rep. Beth Griffin of the Sixty-Sixth District, and Rep. Julie Alexander of the Sixty‑Fourth District. They were denied entry by the Michigan State Police; and
Whereas, These 5 Michigan
House of Representatives members conspired with the 16 Republican candidates
for electors, on behalf of Donald Trump, to falsely certify that Michigan’s 16
votes in the Electoral College were to be cast for Donald Trump and
Michael Pence. The 16 Republican elector candidates signed a false certificate
of Michigan’s electoral votes, which was sent to the four institutions required
to receive Electoral College documents: the President of the United States
Senate, the Archivist of the United States, the United States Secretary of
State, and the Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Western
District of Michigan. Their purpose and intent in attempting to be present in
the Capitol on December 14th, 2020 and in sending this false certificate were
to deliver fraudulent votes and certify Donald Trump for the office of
President of the United States and Michael Pence for the office of Vice President
of the United States; and
Whereas, In a lawsuit attempting to overturn the result of Michigan’s 2020 elections for President and Vice President of the United States, the following members of the Michigan House of Representatives filed a motion for leave to file a complaint-in-intervention: Rep. Gary Eisen of the Eighty-First District, Rep. John Reilly of the Forty-Sixth District, Rep. Julie Alexander of the Sixty-Fourth District, Rep. Matt Maddock of the Forty-Fourth District, Rep. Daire Rendon of the One Hundred Third District, Rep. Beth Griffin of the Sixty-Sixth District, Rep. Michele Hoitenga of the One Hundred Second District, Rep. Brad Paquette of the Seventy-Eighth District, Rep. Rodney Wakeman of the Ninety-Fourth District, Rep. Greg Markkanen of the One Hundred Tenth District, and Rep. Jack O’Malley of the One Hundred First District. They were also joined by Michigan State Senator Douglas Wozniak of the Eighth District, who was a member of the Michigan House of Representatives at the time the motion was filed. The plaintiffs in this lawsuit sought to “establish a constitutional process for the selection of Presidential electors from Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia ... relating to the November 3, 2020 election of President and Vice President and future elections.” They claimed that the legislatures of these states had unconstitutionally delegated the post-election certification of presidential electors to officials in the state executive or judicial branches, making the appointment of presidential electors from these states constitutionally invalid; and
Whereas, A pattern of misleading statements about the November 2020 election and actions taken to delay and deny the peaceful transition of power culminated in an insurrection against the United States government on January 6, 2021; and
Whereas, Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 2384, defines the crime of seditious conspiracy as follows:
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
; and
Whereas, Article XI, Section 1 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 provides, in relevant part:
All officers, legislative, executive and judicial, before entering upon the duties of their respective offices, shall take and subscribe the following oath or affirmation: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the constitution of this state, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of .......... according to the best of my ability. No other oath, affirmation, or any religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust.
; and
Whereas, The members of the Michigan House of Representatives listed above have acted contrary to federal law and to their oath of office. Through their efforts to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election and delay the transition of power, they “conspire[d] to overthrow ... the Government of the United States” and “delay[ed] the execution of” the laws of the United States relating to the certification of the votes of the Electoral College. An essential element of being a legislator is accepting the peaceful transition of power when the people choose different leaders, and these members failed to faithfully discharge the duties of their office by acting to undermine this basic tenet of democracy. Michigan residents deserve better leaders than people who would subvert their own government to remain in power; and
Whereas, In January of 2022, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel referred the investigation of the 16 Republican elector candidates and a potential broader, multi-state conspiracy to undermine the results of the 2020 election to the Unites States Attorney for the Western District of Michigan. The Detroit News reports that she chose not to file charges under Michigan law yet, instead referring the case to federal authorities, because of their nationwide jurisdiction; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That we urge the United States Department of Justice,
including the United States Attorney for the Western District of Michigan, to
investigate the following members of the Michigan House of Representatives for
the crime of seditious conspiracy: Rep. Gary Eisen of the Eighty‑First District,
Rep. John Reilly of the Forty-Sixth District, Rep. Julie Alexander of the Sixty‑Fourth District,
Rep. Matt Maddock of the Forty-Fourth District, Rep. Daire Rendon of the One Hundred
Third District, Rep. Beth Griffin of the Sixty-Sixth District, Rep. Michele
Hoitenga of the One Hundred Second District, Rep. Brad Paquette of the
Seventy-Eighth District, Rep. Rodney Wakeman of the Ninety-Fourth District,
Rep. Greg Markkanen of the One Hundred Tenth District, and Rep. Jack O’Malley
of the One Hundred First District; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the United States Department of Justice, the United States Attorney for the Western District of Michigan, and Representatives Eisen, Reilly, Alexander, Maddock, Rendon, Griffin, Hoitenga, Paquette, Wakeman, Markkanen, and O’Malley.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
Reps. Tate, Hope, Cynthia Johnson, Kuppa, Manoogian, Morse and Sowerby offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 334.
A resolution to censure Representative Daire Rendon of the One Hundred Third House District, State of Michigan.
Whereas, The very foundation of a republican form of government is the electoral process. It is a system of continuous revolution, of peaceful transitions of power to leaders entrusted to carry out the will of the people. While the people must rigorously guard against abuse and corruption, an inability to trust in the results of elections undermines this entire process. Those in power must be cautious not to use their power to stay in power, believing they can never lose the support of the American people. That is tyranny, not democracy; and
Whereas, Representative Daire Rendon, of the One Hundred Third District of the Michigan House of Representatives, has actively worked to undermine this trust and abused her power, in contravention of her constitutional oath of office and her mandate from the people of Michigan. She sought to overturn the 2020 election for United States President, asked local officials in her district to help her break Michigan law in furtherance of her mission to gather evidence that her party’s candidate won the 2020 presidential election, and has perpetuated unverified claims of election irregularities; and
Whereas, Representative Rendon disrespected the peaceful, democratic transition of power in the weeks following the November 2020 election. According to The Detroit News, on December 14, 2020, Representative Rendon attempted to enter the Michigan Capitol, where the state’s 16 presidential electors were meeting to officially cast their ballots for Joe Biden. She is quoted as saying, “Our Republican electors felt that they needed to be seated today, too, due to all the irregularities in the past election.” Those 16 Republican electors later signed a false certificate, claiming to be the real electors from the state of Michigan and casting their votes for Donald Trump. Representative Rendon also filed a complaint-in-intervention with several other Michigan legislators in an unsuccessful lawsuit, Texas v. Pennsylvania, seeking to overturn President Biden’s electoral victory in Michigan and other battleground states; and
Whereas, Representative Rendon undermined trust in the 2020 election and future elections by facilitating inappropriate, unauthorized access to ballot tabulators. On August 5, 2022, the Michigan Department of Attorney General wrote a letter to the Michigan Secretary of State summarizing a conspiracy to gain unauthorized access to ballot tabulators and other election equipment as part of an unofficial “audit” of the 2020 general election, carried out between January and September of 2021. This letter discusses the actions of a “Representative,” which refers to Representative Rendon, as this is the only Representative for whom the Michigan Attorney General sought a Special Prosecuting Attorney in her petition of August 5, 2022; and
Whereas, According to the Chief Deputy Attorney General’s letter, Representative Rendon spoke with local government officials on several occasions to encourage them to give tabulators to other individuals. In January or February 2021, Representative Rendon told the Richfield Township Supervisor “she was looking into the tampering of voting machines and wanted him to turn over the township tabulators to ‘investigators.’” Two unauthorized individuals acquired a tabulator from this supervisor on March 21, 2021. In mid-March 2021, Representative Rendon told the Lake City Township Clerk “she was conducting an audit of the 2020 General Election and would have an investigator call [the clerk] for assistance.” This clerk gave an unauthorized individual a tabulator and a laptop that had served as an electronic pollbook. On March 20, 2021, Representative Rendon told the Roscommon County Clerk that “‘representatives’ were doing an investigation into election fraud and needed her voting machine.” The next day, this clerk gave unauthorized individuals a tabulator and several USB drives and allowed them to copy the Election Reporting Management software from the county computer; and
Whereas, When these clerks grew worried about why their equipment had not been returned yet, Representative Rendon “kept making excuses” and told the Roscommon County Clerk “not to worry about the tabulators, as she was doing the right thing and they had her back” and “her name would never come up.” The voting tabulators and other equipment were returned to the local government officials between April and September of 2021; and
Whereas,
When these tabulators were seized in March and April of 2022 pursuant to search
warrants, it was discovered that unauthorized individuals had attempted to
access their internal components and the seal on one machine was voided. Reuters
quotes Representative Rendon as stating she “never touched a voting machine,”
though she does acknowledge she contacted clerks. In order to ensure there is
no unfairness to either party and no reason to doubt the accuracy of future
election results, Reuters reports that Richfield Township had to
purchase two new vote tabulators and three memory devices at a cost of $8,763;
and
Whereas, As a result of this investigation, the Michigan Attorney General has sought the appointment of a Special Prosecuting Attorney to consider charging Representative Rendon and others with crimes including Conspiracy, MCL 750.157a; Using a Computer System to Commit a Crime, MCL 752.796; Willfully Damaging a Voting Machine, MCL 168.932(b); Malicious Destruction of Property, MCL 750.377a; Fraudulent Access to a Computer or Computer System, MCL 752.795a; and False Pretenses, MCL 750.218; and
Whereas, Representative Rendon’s actions in this conspiracy are all in furtherance of her goal to help her party, led by former President Donald Trump, hold onto power. The Detroit News states that Representative Rendon “has been one of the most outspoken lawmakers in the state advancing unproven claims of fraud in the November 2020 presidential election.” Reuters reports that, on June 26, 2021, Representative Rendon claimed to have “evidence reflecting systematic election fraud in Michigan that occurred in the November 2020 election;” as of May 2022, almost a year later, she had still not provided that evidence to the public. On October 12, 2021, Rendon stated she had evidence from information technology experts that voting machines were accessible, could have been hacked, and had IP addresses for countries outside of the United States, according to The Detroit News. To date, no one has proved that fraud was committed in the 2020 election. The Detroit News reports that President Biden’s victory in Michigan has been upheld in over 200 audits, a series of court rulings, and an investigation by the Republican-led state Senate Oversight Committee; and
Whereas, Unauthorized third-party access to voting machines is a serious threat to the legitimacy of our elections, and as such it is punishable as a serious crime. Under the Michigan Election Law, it is a felony to “obtain undue possession of ... [a] voting machine” or to “aid or abet” in such conduct. This felony is punishable by a fine of up to $1,000, or imprisonment in the state prison for up to 5 years, or both. Representative Rendon repeatedly asked local officials to give voting tabulators to unauthorized individuals, and those officials repeatedly complied with her requests. In doing so, Representative Rendon aided those unauthorized individuals in obtaining undue possession of a voting machine, in violation of Michigan law; and
Whereas, Article IV, Section 16 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 provides, in relevant part:
Each house, except as otherwise provided in this constitution, shall choose its own officers and determine the rules of its proceedings ... Each house shall be the sole judge of the qualifications, elections and returns of its members...
; and
Whereas, Article XI, Section 1 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 provides, in relevant part:
All officers, legislative, executive and judicial, before entering upon the duties of their respective offices, shall take and subscribe the following oath or affirmation: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the constitution of this state, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of .......... according to the best of my ability. No other oath, affirmation, or any religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust.
; and
Whereas, Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 provides, in relevant part:
The legislature shall enact laws ... to preserve the purity of elections, to preserve the secrecy of the ballot, to guard against abuses of the elective franchise.
;and
Whereas, House Rule 74(6) states:
A Member shall conduct himself or herself to justify the confidence placed in him or her by the people and shall, by personal example and admonition to colleagues, maintain the integrity and responsibility of his or her office.
; and
Whereas, House Rule 74(7) states:
A Member shall not engage in any conduct that materially impairs the ability of the Member to perform the duties of his or her office or substantially impair the public confidence in the House.
; and
Whereas, Representative Rendon
has broken the Michigan Election Law and engaged in a pattern of misconduct
that has undermined the public’s confidence in her, in the House, and in
Michigan’s electoral process and democratic institutions in violation of her
oath of office and the Standing Rules of the House of Representatives; now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That Representative Daire Rendon of the One Hundred Third House District is hereby censured; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Daire Rendon.

House Resolution No. 335.
A resolution to declare September 2022 as Deaf Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, As the deaf population includes a wide range of individuals, from those who were born profoundly deaf and use American Sign Language (ASL) as a primary means of communication to those with a degree of hearing loss who use hearing aids or other forms of amplification and communication modes; and
Whereas, According to the Michigan Division on Deaf, Deafblind, and Hard of Hearing, at least 7.4 percent of the Michigan population identify as deaf, deafblind, or hard of hearing; and
Whereas, Our state benefits from the many contributions of deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing residents throughout the state; and
Whereas, All of Michigan is enriched by the diverse and unique heritage, language, and culture of the deaf community; and
Whereas, People who identify themselves as deaf belong to a cultural and linguistic community with shared language, social norms, rules of behavior, and history; and
Whereas, It is important to ensure that Michigan’s deaf, deafblind, or hard of hearing individuals have equal access to the many benefits and opportunities available to hearing individuals to live, work, play, and communicate in Michigan; and
Whereas, To commemorate the first congress of the World Federation of the Deaf, which was held in September of 1951, our state recognizes the entire month of September as Deaf Awareness Month; and
Whereas, The purpose of Deaf Awareness Month is to increase public awareness of the issues and the culture of people who are deaf, as well as to promote equal access to information and services for deaf individuals, to educate the public about the misconceptions of being deaf, and to learn about the types of educational programs, support services, and resources available to people who are deaf, deafblind, or hard of hearing; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 2022 as Deaf Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Rep. Thanedar offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 336.
A resolution to condemn the Supreme Court of the United States’ decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey and to commit to advancing reproductive justice.
Whereas, Approximately 64,000,000 women and girls of reproductive age live in the United States. Lack of access to safe, affordable, timely, and respectful abortion care poses risks to their physical and mental well-being across their lifetime; and
Whereas, In Roe v. Wade, the United States Supreme Court affirmed the right to choose to bear a child and maintain bodily autonomy. This ability to choose allows women to participate equally in the economic and social life of the United States. The Court further affirmed these rights in Planned Parenthood v. Casey; and
Whereas, In Dobbs v. Jackson, the Supreme Court held that the United States Constitution does not confer a right to an abortion – overruling Roe and Casey. Instead, the ruling returned the authority to regulate abortion to states. With this ruling, the Supreme Court says that, from the very moment of fertilization, a woman has no rights to speak of. This decision blatantly disregards women’s rights to bodily autonomy and allows states to force women to carry pregnancies to term, despite the risks and costs; and
Whereas, Immediately following
the Dobbs decision, states began to rip away the reproductive rights that women
have held for nearly half a century. Some states have passed laws without any
exceptions for victims of sexual assault, without regard for the mother’s life,
and without any plan on helping mothers take care of the babies that are the
result of forced pregnancy. Some states have even begun to consider criminal
penalties for what should be considered a private medical decision; and
Whereas, Not only has the Supreme Court undermined the rights of women across the country, it has blatantly ignored court precedent, and has threatened a number of other constitutional rights. Recent polls found that public confidence in the Supreme Court is at an all-time low of 25 percent. As the Court continues to be nothing more than an extension of political ideals, our most vulnerable are more at risk of losing their rights than ever; and
Whereas, Undocumented women, women living in poverty, and women who are members of marginalized groups will face the most risks as a result of the Supreme Court’s actions. We commit to advancing state law to protect the reproductive rights of women across the state. We commit to communities that will be disproportionately impacted by the destructive holding of Dobbs; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we condemn the Supreme Court of the United States’ decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey; and be it further
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we commit to advancing reproductive justice; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the United States Supreme Court, the Governor, the Attorney General, and members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

House Resolution No. 337.
A resolution to declare September 21, 2022, as Maltese American Heritage Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Malta is a country in the central Mediterranean Sea with a rich and unique history dating back thousands of years. Because of its strategic location, this archipelago of six islands has been a naval asset for centuries and was also instrumental in World War II. After coming under siege by Axis Powers, the ensuing Allied offensive to regain the island was successful and was instrumental in the following North African campaign. Malta would eventually gain its independence from the United Kingdom on September 21, 1964 and became a Republic in 1974. Today, Malta is a unitary multiparty Republic, with a parliament consisting of a unicameral House of Representatives. Despite its small geographic size, Malta is the fourth most densely populated country in Europe and the eighth most in the world, with a population of nearly 450,000 spread across approximately 121 square miles. Among other unique attributes, Malta boasts three UNESCO heritage sites, delicious cuisine, world-renowned diving and other recreational opportunities on its stunning coastline, and some of the oldest freestanding structures in the world; and
Whereas, The United States is fortunate to be home to more than 42,000 Maltese Americans. The United States Census Bureau estimates that nearly 12,500 Michiganders are Maltese immigrants or children of Maltese immigrants, making the Metro Detroit area the largest concentration of Maltese Americans in the nation. Michiganders of Maltese descent, from the auto workers that helped build Michigan into an industrial powerhouse to the entrepreneurs who opened restaurants that are still serving the Metro Detroit community today, have employed the Maltese values of creativity, perseverance, and relentless hard work to build a better future for their families and the communities they call home. Both the state of Michigan and the United States of America have been enriched by the contributions of Maltese Americans in all facets of life, including the arts, sciences, business, education, and philanthropy; and
Whereas, Maltese American residents are proudly served in Michigan by the Maltese American Benevolent Society in Detroit and the Maltese American Community Club in Dearborn; and
Whereas, Michigan views cultural diversity as a strength and welcomes the opportunity to honor our fellow Michiganders of Maltese descent for their lasting and expanding imprint upon our state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 21, 2022, as Maltese American Heritage Day in the state of Michigan. We encourage all citizens to celebrate the individual and collective contributions of Maltese Americans to this state and to this country.

House Resolution No. 338.
A resolution to declare September 15-October 15, 2022, as Hispanic Heritage Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, There has been a long
and important presence of Hispanic and Latino Americans in North America
and the United States of America; and
Whereas, The month of September 15 to October 15 represents the anniversary of independence for Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua; and
Whereas, Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15 by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America; and
Whereas, Each year, the United States recognizes the economic, cultural, and social contributions that Spanish-speaking peoples have brought to our nation, including the gifts of law, religion, agriculture, art, music, education, technology, architecture, cuisine, theater, and exploration; and
Whereas, Time and again throughout our nation’s history, Hispanic-Americans have faithfully defended the principles of freedom and a representative government; and
Whereas, Hispanic Heritage Week was approved by President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period from September 15 to October 15, and enacted into law on August 17, 1988, as Public Law 100-402; and
Whereas, This state is fortunate to count among its population a large concentration of citizens of Spanish and Latin American descent, including those who have lived in this state for generations and those who are new to this state, who contribute to our economy and society through their commitment to professions, commerce, family, and the arts; and
Whereas, During the month from September 15 to October 15, this state’s Hispanic American community celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month through a series of special programs featuring Hispanic history, food, dance, and art; and
Whereas, National Hispanic Heritage Month is the period of time in the United States when people recognize the contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans to the United States and celebrate these people’s varied heritage, background, and culture; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 15-October 15, 2022, as Hispanic Heritage Month in the state of Michigan. We recognize and celebrate the contributions, service, and cultures of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

House Resolution No. 339.
A resolution to declare September 21, 2022, as Michigan Peace Day and International Day of Peace in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Since 1981, the United Nations (UN) has designated September 21st as International Day of Peace, also known as Peace Day, to provide “a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to peace above all differences and to contribute to building a culture of peace”; and
Whereas, The theme of International Day of Peace 2022 is “End Racism. Build Peace.”; and
Whereas, Michigan is a strong and diverse state that is home to people of all backgrounds and beliefs; and
Whereas, The UN General Assembly has declared this a day “devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire”; and
Whereas, The UN has also acknowledged that “achieving true peace entails much more than laying down arms. It requires the building of societies where all members feel that they can flourish. It involves creating a world in which people are treated equally”; and
Whereas, In the United States, Michigan is bound by the promise made in the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which provides that “nor shall any State ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws”; and
Whereas, Michigan’s own State Constitution affirms this sentiment, stating that “No person shall be denied the equal protection of the laws; nor shall any person be denied the enjoyment of his civil or political rights or be discriminated against in the exercise thereof because of religion, race, color or national origin”; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 21, 2022, as Michigan Peace Day and International Day of Peace in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That it is with great honor and appreciation that we take this time to join other states and nations in expressing our commitment to healing divisions, particularly racial divisions, and promoting peace in all aspects of life; and be it further
Resolved, That as we recognize the interconnectedness of humanity and global challenges, we also recognize our duty as Michiganders to internalize and strive for the ideals of peace, and instill a sense of pride in ourselves and our children for future generations.

Whereas, There are thousands of children living in poverty throughout the state of Michigan; and
Whereas, Growing up in poverty and experiencing other adverse childhood experiences significantly reduces a child’s chances for success; and
Whereas, Children thrive when under the influence of a one-to-one mentoring relationship with an adult; and
Whereas, Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies have helped hundreds of thousands of young people successfully navigate life’s challenges and achieve success through fostering one-to-one mentoring relationships since its founding in 1904; and
Whereas, The need for mentoring relationships continues to grow statewide, with statistics showing a need for thousands of youth in need of adult mentors; and
Whereas, Volunteer mentors provide their mentees with a safe place and support network to help at-risk youth reach their full potential; and
Whereas, The Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies in the state of Michigan have recently formed the Big Brothers Big Sisters Alliance of Michigan to increase resources and create opportunities that sustain and grow program services across the state; and
Whereas, Youth with mentors are less likely to skip school, use alcohol and drugs, drop out of school, and are more likely to reach a higher level of education, be financially literate, find a full-time job or career, volunteer in the community, and lead a healthy lifestyle; and
Whereas, The Big Brothers Big Sisters Alliance of Michigan believes in changing outcomes for Michigan’s at-risk youth and reversing the downward spiral brought on by poverty and adverse childhood experiences by fostering one-to-one mentoring relationships, and
Whereas, The House of Representatives is committed to helping Michigan’s children find success throughout their academics and careers; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That members of the legislative body declare September 2022 as Big Brothers Big Sisters Youth Mentoring Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
THIS RESOLUTION IS OFFERED TO COMPLY WITH ARTICLE XI, SECTION 7 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN OF 1963.
Reps. LaFave, Markkanen and Bezotte offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 341.
A resolution directing the impeachment of Jacob Cunningham, Judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court of Michigan, for corrupt conduct in office.
Whereas, Article XI, Section 7 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 states, in part:
The house of representatives shall have the sole power of impeaching civil officers for corrupt conduct in office or for crimes or misdemeanors, but a majority of the members elected thereto and serving therein shall be necessary to direct an impeachment.
; and
Whereas, In his ruling issuing a preliminary injunction in Whitmer v. Linderman et al. (Case Number 2022-193498-CZ), Jacob Cunningham acted in conflict with his constitutional duties as a judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court of Michigan. He has failed to uphold the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 by violating the separation of powers himself and enabling the Governor to do the same by exercising legislative powers over existing Michigan law; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That Jacob Cunningham, Judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court of Michigan, is impeached for corrupt conduct in office and for crimes and misdemeanors. The following Article of Impeachment is adopted by the House of Representatives and shall be exhibited to the Senate:
ARTICLE OF IMPEACHMENT EXHIBITED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN IN THE NAME OF ITSELF AND OF THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN AGAINST JACOB CUNNINGHAM, JUDGE OF THE SIXTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT COURT OF MICHIGAN, IN MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT OF ITS IMPEACHMENT AGAINST HIM FOR CORRUPT CONDUCT IN OFFICE AND FOR CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS.
ARTICLE I
Jacob Cunningham, Judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court of Michigan, violated his oath of office by failing to uphold the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963, specifically the separation of powers, in his ruling issuing a preliminary injunction in Whitmer v. Linderman et al. (Case Number 2022-193498-CZ).
Article XI, Section 1 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 provides, in part, “All officers, legislative, executive and judicial, before entering upon the duties of their respective offices, shall take and subscribe the following oath or affirmation: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the constitution of this state, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of .......... according to the best of my ability.”
Article III, Section 2 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 provides, “The powers of government are divided into three branches: legislative, executive and judicial. No person exercising powers of one branch shall exercise powers properly belonging to another branch except as expressly provided in this constitution.”
On August 19, 2022, Judge Cunningham issued a preliminary injunction at the request of Governor Gretchen Whitmer barring 13 county prosecutors from enforcing Section 14 of the Michigan Penal Code, Public Act 328 of 1931, MCL 750.14, which criminalizes the performance of an abortion unless it is necessary to preserve the life of the mother.
Judge Cunningham’s decision to issue a preliminary injunction in this case without an actual case or controversy challenging the application of the law was a direct violation of the explicit text of the state constitution by abusing his judicial power and encroaching into the legislative sphere. The judicial branch is limited to adjudicating claims that meet the justiciability doctrines of standing, ripeness, and mootness. Judge Cunningham’s behavior in exercising jurisdiction where he had none combined with his flippant and disdainful treatment of the defendants in this case demonstrate an egregious attempt to legislate from the bench to further his own political beliefs and usurp the legislative functions of the People of the State of Michigan and their representatives in the Michigan Legislature.
Judge Cunningham’s decision to improperly grant the Governor standing in this case is a direct violation of the explicit text of the state constitution. By allowing this case to proceed, he enabled the Governor to exercise legislative dominion over existing state law. Michigan courts have consistently found that the Michigan Constitution does not guarantee a right to abortion. As the Legislature has passed a law and the judicial branch has not declared it unconstitutional, the Governor’s duty is to uphold and enforce that law, not utilize executive and judicial resources to usurp the legislative functions of the People of the State of Michigan and their representatives in the Michigan Legislature.
The ruling disrupts the foundational principles of the state’s republican form of government, guaranteed to the people in both the state constitution and in Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution of the United States. The power to legislate is exclusively reserved to the people and their representatives in the Michigan Legislature. Judge Cunningham’s abuse of judicial power to subvert a constitutionally sound statute in furtherance of his political ends is a corruption that if left unchecked erodes the stability created by our balanced three branches of government.
Wherefore, Jacob Cunningham, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.
; and be it further
Resolved, That in accordance with Article XI, Section 7 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963, the House of Representatives will proceed with the election of three members from its own body whose duty it shall be to prosecute such impeachment and that these members are authorized and empowered to prepare and present the Article of Impeachment adopted by this resolution.

House Resolution No. 342.
A resolution to urge the United States House of Representatives to condemn Speaker Pelosi for abusing her authority and undermining the President’s role in negotiating with foreign countries during her visit to Taiwan in August 2022, and to request a personal response to this resolution from Speaker Pelosi.
Whereas, On August 2, 2022, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, while leading an official congressional delegation to Asia, made a stop in Taiwan. This action escalated tensions between Beijing and the United States. Following Speaker Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, the Chinese government cut off communications with the United States on military issues and combatting climate change. The visit also prompted the Chinese military to conduct additional drills near Taiwan, including firing missiles over Taiwanese territory; and
Whereas, During her visit to Taiwan, Speaker Pelosi made several statements proclaiming United States foreign policy. On August 3, during a ceremony with Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen, Speaker Pelosi made the following statements: “Now more than ever, America’s solidarity with Taiwan is crucial, and that is the message we are bringing here today.” At a press event following her meeting with the Taiwanese President, she also said, “we are supporters of the status quo … we don’t want anything to happen to Taiwan by force.” Speaker Pelosi concluded her prepared remarks by stating: “America stands with Taiwan,” speaking for the nation as a whole; and
Whereas, The Constitution of the United States does not allocate power over foreign affairs or international relations to the Speaker of the House. Article II, Section 2 grants the President a constellation of powers over international relations, including the power to negotiate treaties, the power to nominate ambassadors and diplomats, and the power to act as the Commander in Chief. The Senate has a constitutional role in foreign policy through its power to decide whether to ratify treaties or approve diplomatic nominees. And the Congress as a whole has the power to declare war. None of these powers is granted specifically to the Speaker of the House; and
Whereas, In traveling to a foreign country in the midst of global tensions, antagonizing one of the world’s strongest powers, and propounding foreign policy for the United States, Speaker Pelosi abused her authority and infringed on the separation of powers that is fundamental to our form of government. This arrangement of power is essential to allow the country to speak to the world with one unified voice. Speaker Pelosi was elected to represent the residents of the Twelfth Congressional District of California, not the entire country. In usurping her position, Speaker Pelosi has endangered global peace and upset the balance of power in the United States; and
Whereas, Rule XXIII, Clause 1 of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the Code of Official Conduct, states: “A Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House shall behave at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House.” Speaker Pelosi’s actions to exert power beyond her station do not reflect creditably on the House, in violation of this rule; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the United States House of Representatives to condemn Speaker Pelosi for abusing her authority and undermining the President’s role in negotiating with foreign countries during her visit to Taiwan in August 2022; and be it further
Resolved, That we request a personal response to this resolution be sent from Speaker Pelosi to the Speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

House Resolution No. 343.
A resolution to declare September 2022 as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, It is estimated that approximately 10,470 children in the United States under the age of 15 will be diagnosed with cancer in 2022; and
Whereas, Children’s cancer affects all ethnic, gender, and socio-economic groups; and
Whereas, Cancer is the second leading cause of death in children under the age of 15; and
Whereas, Great strides have been made since the mid-1970s in the fight against pediatric cancer. Because of major treatment advances in recent decades, approximately 85 percent of children with cancer now survive 5 years or more; and
Whereas, Increased awareness, support, and study may help to further improve these statistics and further protect our children from these serious diseases; and
Whereas, We should renew our commitment to curing childhood cancer and offer our support to the brave young people who are fighting this disease; and
Whereas, To honor the memory of every young person lost to cancer, we must unite behind improved treatment, advanced research, and brighter futures for young people everywhere; and
Whereas, We also recognize the amazing strength of the families of children who suffer from this illness; and
Whereas, The ability of many families to turn their grief into positive action for other children who have been diagnosed with cancer is truly inspirational; and
Whereas, All children deserve the chance to dream, discover, and realize their full potential; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 2022 as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan, and be it further
Resolved, That this month and every month, we extend our support to young people fighting for their future opportunities and recognize all who commit themselves to advancing toward the goal of a cancer-free world.
