Writ of Prohibition (Civil)

Kelsh v. Jaeger , 2002 ND 53, 641 N.W.2d 100
The Legislature can truncate senate terms when reasonably necessary to accomplish a constitutional mandate or directive.
It is an impermissible delegation of legislative power for the Legislature to place in one person the unfettered discretion to stop an election.
When reapportionment results in a substantial constituency change, the constitutional requirement that a senator be elected from a district may justify truncating an incumbent senator's term to give the electorate an opportunity to elect a senator from that district.
