The opinion
William B. Bitowir, J.,
concurring. I concur in the syllabus and in the judgment of Justice Herbert concerning the power of the General Assembly.
However, I feel strongly that Judge Geisinger should be paid his salary for the balance of his term. If it is not a legal obligation, it is certainly a moral obligation of the General Assembly to make sure that he is reimbursed for the balance of his elected term.
