Citizen #6:
Gödafrïeu Válcadác’h | First of all, Miestrâ, my apologies for neglecting my duty here!
* * *
1. That Title Two, Article One, Section 6 be amended to read as follows:
" No person may be re-elected to more than two consecutive terms as President."
(moved by Ián Anglatzarâ; seconded by Martì-Páir Furxhéir.)
Contrâ. I have a question: Does this amendment allow for someone to serve his two consecutive terms, but later on serve additional terms in office?
* * *
2. That Title Two, Article One, Section 11 be amended to read as follows:
"If the High Court finds the President guilty of a willful violation of any law, it may declare him or her to have forfeited his or her office. After impeachment, it may issue a temporary order barring the President from exercising the powers of his or her office, or from being elected or re-elected to any public office for a period no greater than one year."
(moved by Ián Anglatzarâ; seconded by Martì-Páir Furxhéir.)
Abstain

3. That Title Two, Article One, Section 9 (d) be amended to read as follows:
"The President has the power to pardon those convicted by a Court of a crime, on behalf of the Republic, subject to any such pardon being approved by referendum."
(moved by Miestrâ Schivâ; seconded by Martì-Páir Furxhéir.)
Abstain. What type of referendum are we looking at here? I assume this means a referendum of the entire populace with a simple majority? Let's make it a two-thirds majority of the people?

4. That Title Two, Article Two, Section 7 be amended to read as follows:
"Until Parlamînt otherwise decides, the size of the Chamber of Deputies shall be twice the number of members of the Senäts, minus one."
(moved by Martì-Páir Furxhéir; seconded by Miestrâ Schivâ.)
Për.

5. That the Appendix to the Constitution be replaced by the following text:
"APPENDIX: PROCEDURE FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE CONSTITUTION
"1. This Constitution shall require the approval of the Provisional Governing Council by at least a two-thirds majority of those voting in a referendum and at least half of the members of the Council. It shall come into force the next day, thus overriding all previous constitutions and organic laws.
"2 . During the referendum specified in s. 1, the election for the first president shall be conducted. The winner of the election shall come into office on the same day as the consitution comes into force. In the event that the population rejects the constitution, the election shall be considered void and null.
"3. Upon enactment of this Constitution, the Provisional Governing Council and the newly elected president shall immediately do the following, in this order:
a) the President shall nominate a Secretary of State, to be confirmed by 2/3 of the Provisional Governing Council.
b) Enact legislation to assign citizens to Provinces as provided in Title One, Article Three of this Constitution.
c) Enact legislation to provide for election of a Parlamînt, and for the conduct of referendums.
d) Call elections for the house of Deputies, and a month later, for the Senate. Until these positions are filled, the Council shall exercise their powers under this Constitution.
"4. Until the positions of Secretary of State and Chief Justice of the High Court are filled, their provisional counterparts shall exercise their powers under this Constitution. The elected President shall function as Dean of the Provisional Governing Council.
"5. Until they are overriden, repealed, or found to violate the new constitution, all laws passed by the Provisional Governing Council shall remain in place."
Contrâ: What is meant by "Council"? I assume it means the PGC. If so, let's make codify this specifically.

6. That Title Two, Article One, Section 3 be amended as follows:
"Any citizen of the Republic not otherwise disqualified by this Constitution may be elected the President of the Republic of Talossa."
(moved by D. Nanöchfiglheu Vercáriâ; seconded by Chirisch Cavéir.)
Për. By no means redundant.
* * *
7. That Title Two, Article Two, Section 12 be amended as follows:
"Any citizen of the Republic not otherwise disqualified by this Constitution may be elected to the Senäts."
(moved by D. Nanöchfiglheu Vercáriâ; seconded by Chirisch Cavéir.)
Për. Another good amendment...
* * *
8. That Title Two, Article Three, Section 3 be amended as follows:
"Subject to the Standing Orders of the Chamber of Deputies, any citizen of the Republic not otherwise disqualified by this Constitution may be chosen as Seneschál."
(moved by D. Nanöchfiglheu Vercáriâ; seconded by Chirisch Cavéir.)
Për. Yet another good one...
* * *
9. That Title One, Article One, Section 1 be amended to read as follows:
"The name of the State, in the national language, is la Repúblicâ Talossán. In English, the name of the State is The Republic of Talossa, citizens of which shall be referred to hereafter as 'Talossans'."
(moved by Gödafrïeu Válcadác'h; seconded by Martì-Páir Furxhéir.)
Për, of course! lol
