[Otrenia]

I'd like to submit the following to the queue.

Third Amendment to the Republican Executive Act | Author: Otrenia [RG] | Revised by: Wolfmanne [PC] | Sponsors: Battlion [NLP], Free South Califas [CP], Rumostan [NLP], Venaleria [RG], Wolfmanne [RG] | Urgency: Moderate

---

The Senate of Aurentina,

Applauding the intentions of the Republican Executive Act,

However noticing that the impeachment process is left vague,

Hereby adds clarity with the following:

"The Senate may, by a 2/3rds vote of members present, remove the President from office for criminal actions. If the Council of State, by majority vote, deems the President incapable of carrying out the duties of the office, due to mental or physical incapacitation, they may present a motion for the President's removal to the Senate. The Senate may then remove the President by majority vote."

Code: Select all

Urgency: Low-Medium

The Senate of Aurentina,

REALIZING the importance of natural recreation and the need for education on our outside environment
NOTING many natural, under-developed landscapes are being destroyed, polluted, and harmed for unjust reason
AWARE that we as a nation must do our part to protect, defend, and preserve these ecosystems and landscapes for the bettering of our future lifestyles

[Regnum Dominae]

I'm going to make Venaleria my President pro tempore in 1 hour unless I get compelling reasons why I should choose FSC or Bleckonia.

[Belmaria]

I'm going to make Venaleria my President pro tempore in 1 hour unless I get compelling reasons why I should choose FSC or Bleckonia.

Bleckonia is going to be Minister of Work, so I think that would be a conflict. I don't see why this is such a big deal. It's not like the President Pro Temp has much power anyway. Their job isn't to affect policy so I don't care who it is as long as they are un-biased.

[Wolfmanne]

I'm going to make Venaleria my President pro tempore in 1 hour unless I get compelling reasons why I should choose FSC or Bleckonia.

He needs 75% approval of the Senate, but let's just leave it at that and if someone calls a vote of no confidence against him and succeeds, then so be it. Negative parliamentarism ftw .

Doesn't that set a dangerous precedent for PM votes?

No, because Prime Ministers are officially limited by term. President pro tempore isn't.
