It was written in response to past problems of Chairs being on vacation, temporarily inactive, etc., and bills lingering on the floor. It’s also a protection against political delays.

Every legislator is equal in the Assembly. The Chair isn’t supposed to be “the boss.” They’re just the secretary.

Having the Cabinet get involved in picking the Chair is a separation of powers violation. The Assembly is designed to operate without a Chair, if need be. There’s never a reason why another branch would need to appoint anyone.

Thinking about it for a while, this is true. The Cabinet is the executive branch and should stay out of the Assembly, which is the legislative branch. Simply allow the Assembly to appoint an Acting Chair, and all is well.
