Governor’s Order Challenges Constitution | Tulsa News

Former Oklahoma state rep Mark McBride is suing Governor Kevin Stitt over an executive order demanding a vote on a constitutional convention, arguing the governor overstepped his authority. While Stitt claims Oklahomans deserve a chance to reshape their constitution amid over-governance, McBride insists only legislated or petition-driven processes can propose amendments — not gubernatorial orders. The Attorney General agrees, confirming the governor’s role is limited to overseeing elections, not initiating them. With the Oklahoma Supreme Court now weighing in, this legal showdown could redefine how Oklahoma revises its foundational document — and whether voters ever get that chance.
