ARTICLE V

W. Va. Const.

Turn this on and every word we wrote goes away. What is left is the state's own text.

ARTICLE V
5-1. Division of powers.
The legislative, executive and judicial departments shall be separate and distinct, so that neither shall exercise the powers properly belonging to either of the others; nor shall any person exercise the powers of more than one of them at the same time, except that justices of the peace shall be eligible to the Legislature.

We have not written a note for this part yet.

This is the law as the state printed it. It is legal facts, not legal advice. It cannot tell you what to do about your own case.
