(2) The Speaker of the House of Representatives has an unconditional right to intervene on behalf of the House of Representatives in a state court action and may provide evidence or argument, written or oral, if a party to that court action challenges the constitutionality of this act, the validity of this legislation, or any action of the General Assembly.

A federal court presiding over any action in which the State of South Carolina, or any state agency, is a named party is requested to allow the President, on behalf of the Senate, to participate in any such action as a party.

(2) In a federal court action that challenges the constitutionality of this act, the validity of this legislation, or any action of the General Assembly, the Speaker of the House of Representatives has standing to intervene as a party on behalf of the House of Representatives, to file an amicus brief, or to provide evidence or argument, written or oral, in accordance with the federal rules of procedure, irrespective of whether any other officer of the State has appeared in the action. A federal court presiding over any action in which the State of South Carolina, or any state agency, is a named party is requested to allow the Speaker, on behalf of the House of Representatives, to participate in any such action as a party.

(C)(1) A request to intervene or the participation of the President of the Senate as a party or otherwise, in any action challenging the constitutionality of a state statute, the validity of legislation, or any action of the General Assembly does not constitute a waiver of:

When a vacancy occurs in the district to which a member has been transferred, the vacancy must not be filled until the full term of the transferred member expires.

SECTION7. If any section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph, sentence, clause, phrase, or word of this act is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or invalid, such holding shall not affect the constitutionality or validity of the remaining portions of this act, the General Assembly hereby declaring that it would have passed this act, and each and every section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph, sentence, clause, phrase, and word thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more other sections, subsections, paragraphs, subparagraphs, sentences, clauses, phrases, or words hereof may be declared to be unconstitutional, invalid, or otherwise ineffective.
