Okay so.
Now that I'm not falling off my chair from sleep, I went ahead and added more things to the OP. The amendments and the repeals mentioned in the OP are meant to represent our full transition into an appointment-based Cabinet system, from my point of view.
I'll address the points brought up by Kris and others a bit later, need a more coherent mind to do that. I know there's a lot of glaring issues to be found in my proposal, but I think I've got my point across to everyone with it.
