A lawsuit has been filed by the Michigan Senate against the Michigan House of Representatives. The lawsuit alleges that the House has failed to fulfill its constitutional duties, pursuant to Article 4, Section 33, by not submitting to the Governor nine (9) bills, as passed by the Michigan Legislature in 2024. However, the Presentment Clause of the Michigan Constitution may not say what the Michigan Senate is implying. The House contends it has done nothing wrong by taking extra time to review the 9 bills, to the contrary, it is satisfying the requirements the Constitution places upon it by ensuring any actions taken are lawful.

I have every reason to believe this lawsuit could make its way before the Michigan Supreme Court, hence the reason why I’m reporting on this lawsuit while still in the preliminary the trial stage. Give it a listen to see which side of the lawsuit you fall on. Both sides make excellent legal arguments for their respective side.
