Quote:With both USoVietnam and Farengeto on leave and the third seat as yet vacant, the Legislator Committee currently has no members to perform its duties. However, there are several outstanding applications that have not been responded to yet (despite the 48 hour requirement in Article 2 Section 2 of the Legislator Committee Act), and generally it is the opinion of the Cabinet that Legislator Applications must be handled speedily to aid retention.

Article VI.6 of the Charter grants the Cabinet the authority to enact executive orders in case of ambiguities or holes in extant law. Since the case of an absent Legislator Committee is not considered in the time requirement set out by the Legislator Committee, the Cabinet considers this a hole in extant law and therefore enacts the following executive order:

1. The following section shall be considered appended to Article 1 of the Legislator Committee Act:

Quote:(4) If there is no member of the Legislator Committee available due to vacancy or leave, and there are outstanding duties to be performed, the Cabinet may appoint an emergency member to handle any urgent matters of the committee. The Council on Regional Security may, on security grounds only, rescind the Cabinet's appointment. The emergency member's tenure will last until the Cabinet rescinds the appointment or until one week after a regular committee member is available, whichever happens sooner.

2. Roavin, who has served on the Legislator Committee before and has written the guide in use by the same, is appointed as emergency member of the Legislator Committee.
