LINCOLN BIRTHDAY BICENTENNIAL

The year 2009 marks the 200th birthday of our nations 16th president.Abraham Lincoln has long been revered as a man who fought for freedom, equali-ty and the preservation of the Union. Lincoln dedicated himself and his administra-

tion to the nations unfinished work of healing the deep wounds caused by slavery,violence and secession.

Perhaps his most celebrated achievement is the Emancipation Proclamation, anendeavor he firmly believed was the proper course of action for a nation built uponthe self-evident truths of equality and the right to liberty espoused by theDeclaration of Independence. Lincoln also fought for passage of the ThirteenthAmendment to the United States Constitution to guarantee that these ideals would

be employed to provide a permanent end to slavery. And when the tenets embod-ied in these pursuits led the South to wage a Civil War, Lincoln fought to ensure that

our nation would remain a unified bastion of hope and freedom for future genera-tions.

As we celebrate the Lincoln Bicentennial, we honor Lincolns special connectionto Illinois, a state he loved. We are committed to sharing the history, beliefs and visionof Abraham Lincoln, and continuing the legacy of a man who brought tremendouspositive change to our state and nation. It is our challenge to sustain those principlesand values in our ongoing search for freedom, equality and opportunity.

FEDERAL-STATE

GOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS

Under the U.S. Constitution, the nation is a federal republic that splits govern-ing powers between the Federal Government and the states. The FederalGovernment is organized into three branches: Executive, Legislative and Judicial.The President heads the Executive Branch and carries out the laws passed byCongress, and the Legislative Branch is made up of the Senate and House ofRepresentatives. The court system, headed by the Supreme Court, makes up theJudicial Branch and interprets the laws.

State Powers: The Supreme Court has the final authority in any disputes, suchas constitutional issues or treaties, between the states and the Federal Government.States also cannot prevent the Federal Government from exercising its powers underthe Constitution. However, the states do retain powers as specified in the 10thAmendment, one of the group of 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights: Thepowers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by itto the States, are reserved to their States respectively, or to the people.

Amendments and Elections: The Federal Government depends on the states fortwo major responsibilities: approving amendments to the U.S. Constitution and elec-tion of federal officials. Amendments must be proposed by a two-thirds vote of bothhouses of Congress and ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures or special con-ventions. Subject to some limitations, the states have the right to determine the vot-

ing ballot form, conduct the elections, and tabulate and certify election results.Intergovernmental Cooperation: State governments cooperate with the Federal

Government in many ways, including the implementation of joint law enforcementprograms to prevent and detect crime and the use of federal grants for specific pur-poses, such as transportation construction or safety programs. In Illinois, federal aidaccounts for about one-quarter of total state revenues. Of that, about 50 percent offederal reimbursements is for public assistance expenditures.

Constitution: Illinois Government operates under the 1970 State Constitution,which is the fourth Constitution in the states history. The 1970 State Constitutionmodernized the previous 1870 Constitution by extending anti-discrimination

rights, proclaiming healthy environment rights, granting home-rule rights tolarger cities and counties to tax and rule without state authorization, and giving theline-item veto to the Governor.

Local Government: Three levels of local government exist in Illinois: County(102 in the state), Township (85 counties have them), and Municipal (1,291). Thereare 6,903 units of local government, including park, fire and other special districts.

rights in elections through federal and state laws.Judicial Branch: The third branch of State Government is made up of the

Supreme Court, five districts of the Appellate Court with 53 judges, and 22 judicialcircuits that have 852 circuit and associate judges. The Supreme Court interprets theIllinois Constitution and laws, and hears final arguments in certain civil and crimi-nal cases.

To be eligible to serve as a member of the General Assembly, a person must be aUnited States citizen, at least 21 years old and reside in the district being representedfor at least two years prior to the election or appointment.

Functions and Powers

The legislative power of the State of Illinois is vested in the General Assembly,which is composed of a 59-member Senate and a 118-member House of Rep-resentatives. Its principal activities are enacting, amending or repealing laws, passingresolutions, adopting appropriation bills and conducting inquiries on proposed leg-islation. It also acts on amendments to the U.S. Constitution when they are submittedby Congress, and proposes and submits amendments to the Illinois Constitution forconsideration by voters.

In addition to legislative responsibilities, the Senate is constitutionally delegatedthe responsibility of advising and consenting on most gubernatorial appointments tostate offices, boards and commissions.

The General Assembly may impeach and convict executive and judicial office-holders in the State of Illinois. The House of Representatives has the sole power ofimpeachment, while the Senate serves as adjudicator. If a majority of the members ofthe House vote to impeach, the case proceeds to the Senate for trial. No officeholdermay be convicted and removed from office without a two-thirds guilty vote from theSenate. The Senate may not, however, impose any punishment on an impeached and

convicted officeholder other than removal from office.

Organization and Composition

A 1980 ballot proposition reduced the size of the House of Representatives from177 to 118 members and eliminated the system of electing three representatives fromeach district on the basis of cumulative voting. This provision marked the first con-stitutional reduction in the size of the General Assembly since 1848. As of 1982, eachlegislative district comprises one senate district, which is divided into two represen-tative districts. Every two years, one representative is elected from each representa-tive district for a term of two years.

Members of the General Assembly are elected at the General Election in even-numbered years. Senate districts are divided into three groups, and one or twogroups are elected every two years. Senators from one group are elected for terms offour years, four years and two years; another group for terms of four years, two yearsand four years; and the third group for terms of two years, four years and four years.

In January of the odd-numbered year following the November General Election,

the Secretary of State presides over the House until the members have elected aSpeaker. In the Senate, the Governor presides until the senators have elected aPresident. Various other leaders and officers are selected by the Speaker andPresident as well as minority leaders in both the House and Senate.

Bills may originate in the House or the Senate and must be passed by a majority

of all elected members before being sent to the Governor. Either chamber may amendor reject any bill. Thousands of bills are introduced during each legislative session.However, only a percentage of those bills are enacted. The General Assembly estab-lishes committees and commissions to concentrate on specific subject areas.

Legislative Cycle

The General Assembly convenes each year on the second Wednesday in January.The Governors State of the State message to the legislature is delivered early in thesession. The legislative work schedule during the spring typically is laden with heavy

committee schedules, extended plenary sessions, controversial budget issues and rec-onciling differences in substantive bills between the two chambers.

Constitutional provisions, formal rules and parliamentary procedures providebasic guidelines and relative stability to both chambers as the General Assembly actson legislation. Any bill passed after May 31 cannot take effect until June 1 of the fol-lowing year unless the bill passes both the House and Senate by a three-fifths vote.The assembly adjourns at the end of May and reconvenes in October or Novemberfor two weeks to consider the Governors vetoes.

At other times, special sessions of the General Assembly may be convened by the

Governor or by a joint proclamation by the presiding officers of both chambers. Thisproclamation confines legislative deliberation to specific subjects, and no other mat-ters except confirmations of appointments and impeachments may be considered.

How a Bill is Passed

The Legislative Reference Bureau drafts legislation based on requests from leg-islators, constitutional officers and state agencies. A bill may be introduced in eitherthe House or the Senate, and the procedure is almost identical. Each bill must be readon three different days in each chamber before it is passed.

The first reading introduces the bill. After the first reading, the bill is referred tothe appropriate committee for review. The second reading allows for amendments.At the time of the third reading, the bill is debated and then voted on. A simple major-ity is needed for a bill to pass. Bills approved on third reading move to the otherchamber to follow the same process.

If the second chamber approves the bill as written, it is sent to the Governor. If abill is amended in the second chamber and then passed, it must return to the cham-ber in which it was originated for concurrence. If the second chamber concurs withthe changes, it is sent to the Governor.

The Governor may sign the bill into law, veto it with recommendations forchanges, veto it absolutely, or allow it to become law without his signature. If a bill isvetoed, the General Assembly may override the veto by a three-fifths majority.
