so i agree with my friend willie brown, that we should go ahead, we are a separate branch of government, let us pass the bipartisan legislation that's already in place to protect daca and children's health and community health centers and let's vote on those matters and get that to the president and then he can veto them and really, it's on him. >> senator, i have to ask you a very simple question, i work in television journalism, so sometimes i ask the simple questions. how would it be the democrats' fault when the republicans are in control of all the political branches of government if the government shuts down. >> exactly. but they think that they can pull the wool over the eyes of the american people and i would say that the american public is not buying it and that's why they're just so nervous and they're very frightened about what might be in store for them. >> and last question, i know we're tight on time. what did you learn being in that televised meeting with the president? i know you pressed him for details on how he might support an actual daca solution, that at least from

so historically during the eight years of willie brown's tenure as mayor, there was a rule that was almost uniformly foer enforced by then mayor brown regarding the moment any city appointed board or commission member took out papers to run for office, that they would resign. since those days, that good government practice that really leads to avoidance of conflicts of interest, of misuse of those offices has been on the wane. and as i indicated in october, i believe that the best way to make sure we don't have play to pay politics and that we have commissioners that are independent and discharge their duty to the public would be to codify this in the city's charter. i want to thank rules chair safai, supervisor yee and supervisor kim for their cosponsorship and answer any questions that this panel may have and hear from any members of the public who may be interested in commenting or testifying on the matter, but simply, this would remove any temptation for corruption or misuse of office and would be applied evenly and fairly, irrespective of political stripe or allegiance. >> supervisor

i voted for london breed the first time she was on my ballot and i voted for willie brown the first time his name was on my ballot. i want to reinforce what the last two speakers have said and what the secretary of the chamber emphasized, that this vote right now is only, only, about whether the board will vote to appoint an interim mayor. this happened when dianne feinstein was in office, the board held this vote. and eight days later, dianne feinstein resigned. so there was not the kind of overlap that we're seeing right now. again, the language that was just read is that the board shall appoint. there's not really a question about whether -- what it is that the charter provides. it does say that the board shall appoint it. i'm looking for the citation right here. it's 13.101.5b of the charter. says that the board will hold this vote. so the board right now is just doing what the charter says it's going to do. will we hold a vote? and so let me say that if london breed were -- if this vote didn't happen and london breed were just to continue, it would be an unprecedented power grab. we
