On top of that, even if there will be periods of time during which the EndorsSec will have little or nothing to do, that is irrelevant: his primary duty is to be the region's fail-safe in the case of Founder CTE. Everything else is just sugar on top.
In my opinion, setting endorsement caps and other such matters should be done via Executive Orders by the EndorSec, or simply via a public declaration backed by the Founder/President: endorsement numbers tend to fluctuate, and the Senate is too slow to quickly change endorsement caps to accommodate such fluctuations.
I believe quite the opposite. If Vancouvia were to be banned for something right this instant, the entire region would fall in the hands of that one unknown guy who's secretly been gathering endorsements while suspiciously never partaking in ANY discussions in any of TWI's communication channels. A similar situation would occur if Van were to CTE, albeit we might be able to notice that in time and take the proper measures we are already taking right now by openly debating it and proposing a solution.
How are you going to enforce said endorsement cap? You can't just kick Ayeris out, and you can't get people to lower their endorsements, it's not in them who did it in the first place. Furthermore, this region has shown time and time again about how much we actually care about the World Assembly, being not much. Yeah sure, whoever gets the position can try and recruit World Assembly members, but most active nations do that by themselves. Furthermore, this can already be done without any amendments in the first place, citing Article II; Section 2 and 3:
Section 2: Executive Powers
Executive officers may issue executive orders, so long as those orders do not violate the Rights of Nations and are within the scope of their office. If the nature of an order is ambiguous then the President shall decide under which executive officer's scope it falls under. Executive orders must be issued from a single office, but they may be supported by other executive officers. Any executive order can be overruled by the President. Newly elected officers can reverse or amend the orders of any of their predecessors. Executive Orders may not in any way, directly or indirectly, grant powers to, or otherwise alter the powers of, Executive Officers. Officers may informally recruit other nations to help them with their duties.
Section 3: President
The President shall be the head of state of the region. The duties of the President include:
-Leading the region through both normal operations and extraordinary crises
-Supervising the conduct of executive officers
-Determining reasonable periods of time for actions to commence
-Providing necessary services and actions for previously unforeseen matters
We all know the executives can give executive orders, and it is clearly in the Presidents scope to provide neccasary actions for previously unforeseen matters. Knowing this, and that what to do if Van disappears is a previously unforeseen matter that needs action, the President could simply issue an executive order and appoint an heir to the WA Delegate position or if needed issue an endorsement cap, but I personally think the fact this region doesn't have one attracts people, it did for me.
