Charter Typo
#60

How the Court reached the conclusion that the Chair cannot even fix typos once the legislation is being voted on -- which has happened several times -- is a mystery to me. It's not supported by the Charter or the Code of Laws, nor their own logic. Passage of legislative clearly includes the time frame of voting on legislation, which the Chair has complete and unquestionable authority over within our Charter. It's a terribly flawed decision that unnecessarily cripples the Chair from doing such a simple duty of fixes typos. Absolutely ridiculous. How does this help the region at all?

The current heavy-handed amendment also failed at vote two days ago. So our Chair has zero power to ensure our Charter, Code of Laws, and subsidiary documents do not look like rushed high school writing assignments. We are forced to amend the Charter to give our Chair common sense authority. I propose the following simple amendment, which gets rid of the unnecessary and counterproductive bureaucracy of Belschaft's:

Quote:Section 2 - Chair of the Assembly and Duties of the Chair.
X. The Chair of the Assembly has authority to maintain the Charter, Code of Laws, and all subsidiary documents, ensuring that all laws comport with proper standards and formatting.
