If any provisions of this Charter shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provisions of this Charter, it being the intent of the electors of the municipality of Warren that the remaining provisions of this Charter be given full force and effect as completely as if such invalid provisions had not been included herein.
This Charter, except for the Transition Schedule in § C-63, shall become effective on the first Monday of January 1978, and the municipal government shall operate under the terms and provisions of the Charter from and after the said effective date.
