h) To be able to summon any one to attend before it in matters
of State, the King and the Royal family excepted; this exception,
however, does not apply to the Royal Princes in case they hold
any office;
i) To revise salary and pension lists, which are not permanent,
and to make therein such alterations as it finds necessary;
k) To appoint five auditors, who shall annually examine the
accounts of the State and publish printed extracts of the same;
and such accounts shall for this purpose be delivered to these
auditors within six months after the expiration of the year for which the
grants of the Storthing are made;
l) To naturalise aliens.
76. Every law shall first be proposed in the Odelsthing, either
by its own members, or by the Government through a Councillor of
State. If the proposal is there accepted, it is sent to the Lagthing,
which either approves or rejects it, and in the latter case sends it
back with comments appended. These are taken into consideration
by the Odelsthing, which either drops the bill or again sends it to
the Lagthing, with or without alteration. When a bill from the
Odelsthing has twice been laid before the Lagthing and has been a
second time rejected by it, the whole Storthing shall meet and
dispose of the bill by a majority of two-thirds. There must be an
interval of at least three days between each of these deliberations.
77. When a resolution proposed by the Odelsthing is approved
by the Lagthing or by the assembled Storthing, it is sent to the
King, if he is present, or, if he is not present, to the Norwegian
Government, with a request that it shall obtain the Kings sanction.
78. If the King assents to the resolution, he shall append his
signature to it, whereby it becomes law.
If he does not assent to it, he shall send it back to the
Odelsthing with the declaration that he does not at present consider it
expedient to sanction it. In this case the resolution may not again
be submitted to the King by the Storthing then assembled.
79. If a bill has been passed unaltered by three ordinary
Storthings, constituted after three different successive elections separated
from each other by at least two ordinary Storthings between them,
without any divergent resolution having been adopted by any
Storthing in the period between the first and the last passing, and is
then submitted to the King with the prayer that his Majesty will
not refuse his sanction to a bill that the Storthing, after the most
mature deliberation, considers to be for the benefit of the State, it
becomes law, even if the Kings sanction is not accorded, before the
Storthing separates.
80. The Storthing shall remain in session as long as it
considers necessary, but not beyond two months, without the King’s
permission. When, having finished its business, or having been in
session for the appointed time, it is dissolved by the King, he shall at
the same time communicate his decision with regard to the
