– President before Vice President or Vice President before President? Members of the 54th Legislature on Monday, January 22, held its first Joint Session for the administration of Oaths for President George Weah and Vice President Jewel Howard-Taylor. The Daily Observer has reliably gathered that members of the House of Representatives and the Senate are considering reviewing the “Inaugural Proceedings” especially the protocol or precedence of the President to be inaugurated before the Vice President. The outgoing House Election and Inauguration chairman, Representative Gabriel Smith, said: “We made the recommendation, but for the sake of protocol and precedence and the time frame, it was not allowed. But I hope as l gathered, the 54th Legislature will correct it.”It is yet to be known whether the “discussion for the change or protocol” would be placed on the floor during the 1st session of the 54th Legislature.
