The following amendment to Article IV of the Charter has been proposed. It requires a 60% majority in favor in order to come into law. Legislators may vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.
Voting will end at 17:00 EDT on June 17th, 2017.
Amendment to Article IV of the Charter Wrote:[...]
5. All residents of the Coalition are eligible to attain legislator status through application with the Chair, predicated on the Chair ensuring they have a nation in the South Pacific, are not seeking membership in bad faith, are not attempting to obscure their identity, and are not attempting to join with multiple nations, and the Council on Regional Security does not declare them a significant risk to regional security. Any legislator may publicly petition the Chair for or against a prospective legislator’s admission. Anyone admitted to legislator status during a forum election in which only legislators may vote, from the time nominations begin until the conclusion of forum voting, may not stand for election nor vote in that forum election.
6. Within seven days following approval of a legislator application by the Chair, the Cabinet may determine that the person approved for legislator status poses a significant threat to regional security and revoke their legislator status. Such a person may appeal the revocation of their legislator status to the Assembly, which may overturn the Cabinet's decision by simple majority vote, subject to the same debate and voting periods as general laws.
6. 7. Within the first week of each calendar month, the Chair will remove legislator status from any person no longer maintaining a nation in The South Pacific, or absent for more than half of all votes finished in the previous calendar month if a minimum of two votes occurred. The Chair may exercise their discretion and not remove legislators under reasonable extenuating circumstances.
Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.
