- SV_BubbleTime 6y agoThat was actually brought up in Bush v Gore in 2000. It was scotus decided that yes, legislatures can delegate powers, but no matter what they do; the legislature can never lose this power as it is specifically enumerated in Article 2. This became moot in 2000 as the recount ended discussion. Of the states in question, I do not believe GA, MI, or AZ legislatures delegated powers to the Gov or AGs, but I could be mistaken on that.
