[PASSED] Amendment to Article IV of the Charter (Election Commissioner) - Amerion - 01-31-2019
This amendment to the Charter follows a similar amendment to the Regional Officers Act. Both proposals seek to correct the discrepancy in terminology used for the Election Commission.
While it would have been ideal to present these minor changes in a single package, this is an amendment to a constitutional law and therefore requires a higher threshold to pass. Although inconvenient, it is, unfortunately, appropriate to present it as a separate amendment.
Quote:IV. THE ASSEMBLY
...
(2) The Assembly will elect a Legislator as Chair for a term lasting four months. The Chair is responsible for maintaining order and decorum, and helping guide Assembly debate into the creation of bills. If a Chair is recalled, loses Legislator status, or is otherwise not in office, a new Chair will be elected for a new term lasting four months. The Election Commission Commissioner will be responsible for organizing Chair elections.

I propose the waving of the debate time for something as simple as this is.

Is this really necessary...

Unfortunately, at the moment it is. However, an amendment proposed by @Awe which, if passed, will allow the Chair to exercise discretion in correcting future errors of a similar sort should mean that amendments of this nature will no longer be necessary.

Shouldn't just fall into the Typo Errors thread?

I gave some thought to it prior and was on the fence. Thankfully, this may be the last time such an amendment is needed.
In the future, I expect to be proofreading and using the 'find' key in our law archive for whenever we change the names.
