1. Lieutenant Governor Shan Tsutsui finds himself largely sidelined
under a new administration after David Ige beat out Governor
Neil Abercrombie in a historic political upset.
““I was involved in more strategic meetings; I was always
involved in those things under the previous administration,” said
Tsutsui. “Under this administration, probably not so much.”
Tsutsui said he isn’t sure who Ige’s strategic advisers are. “I
assume they have a team,” he said.
Ige told the Star-Advertiser last month that Tsutsui wasn’t kept in
the loop because he himself wasn’t a part of the decision-making
process. “We have a good relationship,” noted the governor.”

2. CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF HAWAII
ARTICLE V. SECTION 1.
The Hawaii State Constitution
ByAnne Feder Lee, forward by John Waihee.
"Establishment of the Executive," pages 116-117.
New York, New York: Oxford University Press, 2011.
“This section grants executive power to the governor with the
same broad strokes found in Article II of the U.S. Constitution. As
a result, it also leaves unresolved the issue of what is meant by
“executive power.” Although there is no specific judicial
interpretation of this phrase, the Hawaii Supreme Court has stated
that the constitution “creates the executive as a coequal branch”
(Deak-Pererav v. Department of Transportation, 19841 ). The
establishment of three distinct and separate branches was
intended to preclude commingling of fundamentally different
powers of government in the same hands, even though these
separate powers were not meant to operate with complete
independence. (Trustees of OHA v. Yamasaki, 19872 ).
Executive power, according to the attorney general, includes
delegation of ministerial duties to the lieutenant governor without
need of any further legislative act. While the legislature prescribes
the duties of the lieutenant governor, in doing so it cannot
encroach on the governor’s authority or transfer executive power
to the lieutenant governor (Op. Att’y Gen. 59-127, 1959).
Where there is an intraexecutive branch dispute of a “Peculiarly
political nature,” the political doctrine applies, ant the matter
must be resolved by the legislature and the executive branch
instead of the judicial branch of the state (Trustees of OHA v.
Yamasaki, 19873). However, merely asserting a claim of
intrabranch dispute does not make the dispute nonjusticiable
(Board of Education v. Waihee, 19894).
