At Vote: Separation of Powers
#6

Again, this is nonsense, and I'll be submitted a legal question on this ridiculous argument that using a bad copy of a law in an amendment suddenly erases all the old votes the Assembly passed.

But if you're going to pursue this in the meantime, then the appropriate thing to do would be to adopt the *same* language of the amendment we *already passed* and *never repealed*.

And also, to not make the *same mistake* again by forever committing to not use this format of drafting laws, where you copy and paste the entire law when amending just a tiny part.

Quote:7. Separation of Powers

(1) It is not permitted for one person to serve as Delegate, Prime Minister, Chair of the Assembly, Permanent Justice, Local Council Member, or Cabinet Minister (as Defined by Article VI of the Charter) while occupying any other role in this clause, including any combination of said roles at the same time.
(2) It is permitted to seek election to Delegate, Prime Minister, Chair of the Assembly or Cabinet Minister while occupying an existing role mentioned above.
a. However, should the candidate successfully seek office then they must resign from their prior office before being allowed to assume responsibility for their newly elected office.
b. If they have not assumed the office within 3 days of the election results/confirmation vote, then they are considered to have forfeited the office and a special election should be called.
c. Where necessary, an announcement of resignation from their prior office will constitute a candidate assuming the office they have been duly elected to/confirmed for.
(3) Members of the Committee for Regional Security are permitted to occupy other roles so long as they do not violate the restriction in 7.1.
(4) Unless otherwise stated, Article 7 is considered to apply to all explicitly named elected and confirmed offices as detailed in this 7.1.
(5)It is not permitted for one person to serve in any position in 7.1, while holding the equivalent office in any other region or organization.

I've added the new policy you're seeking here, as well.
