The Imperial Commonwealth of Libraria and Ausitoria Vice President & Speaker His Grace Alexias Stella Instatement of Term Limits [Resolution Number: 72] Noting that many nations have been holding on to positions in the International Freedom Coalition for an extended length of time, Fully aware that most of them have been holding on to those positions by reason of their superb abilities and experience, but Recognizing that new ideas and officials may sometimes be desireable, Recognizing that the arguments between older officials may get tediously repetitive, Noting also that experienced nations may be able to serve surprisingly well in other official capacities, And deciding in general that therefore some sort of limit should be imposed, although exceptions should be possible in case there is a shortage of candidates for a particular position, The IFC Council hereby declares: 1. No official, elected or unelected, shall hold any particular official position for more than 9 months unless they relinquish the position for more than 3 months, in which case for the purposes of this resolution they shall start again at 0 months. 2. All officials over this limit shall have a grace period of 2 months from the passage of this resolution. 3. For aligning their time as officials with Prime Ministerial term-limits, officials may use an additional grace period of up to a fortnight. 4. Minor official bureaucrats employed by cabinet members but not themselves within the cabinet are exempted. 5. Other exceptions may be made by motion in Council.
