Due to the vote taking a very long time and I would like to move on to other business, I will be ending the vote.

In the question of whether to pass the amendments to L.R. 051, the results are as follows

The ayes are 2, the nays are 3, the abstain are 2. The nays have it and the bill has failed the Senate.

We have begun our next order of business:

Thaecian Security Council Formalization Act

Author: Marvinville & Brototh
Sponsors: Marvinville & Snowflame

Preamble:

To create a system that will protect our region from internal and external threats,

Congress hereby agrees,

  • Section I - There shall be an established Security Council, which is responsible for protecting the region from internal and external threats to her sovereignty, safety, or security.

    • I. The Security Council has the right to eject and/or ban any nation as ordered by an established Court of law or by the Constitution or any law that permits ejections or bans to occur as long as such restrictions or legislation is followed.

  • Section II - The Security Council must consist of three nations, all of whom are appointed by the Prime Minister and confirmed by a simple majority vote in the House of Commons.

    • I. Once a Security Councilor is confirmed by the House of Commons, they shall serve on the Council until they resign, cease to exist, lose citizenship, are disqualified from holding office, or are removed from office.

    • II. A Security Councillor may be removed from office by either a two thirds majority vote in both chambers of Congress, or a High Court order to remove them. Such order may only occur if the nation is found to have wrongfully ejected and/or banned a nation from Thaecia.

    • III. When appointed to office, a Security Councillor must be in the top thirty nations in regional influence. They may lose influence and go below this whilst in office.

  • Section III - All members on the Security Council shall have the region administration authorities of Border Control and Communications.

  • Section I - Members on the Security Council must have between the second most and fifteenth most endorsements in the region while they are in office.

    • I. Members on the Security Council must endorse all nations in the World Assembly within the first 7 days in office in order to increase their own endorsements.

  • Section II - All nations, excluding the Vice Delegate, Prime Minister, and members of the Security Council, must have at least 25% less endorsements than the elected World Assembly Delegate.

    • I. A nation may be ejected from the region if they surpasses the elected WA Delegate in endorsements or is within the 25% threshold of endorsements enacted by this Act.

    • II. The Vice Delegate and members of the Security Council shall not surpass the amount of endorsements of the elected World Assembly Delegate but may reach within the 25% threshold of endorsements enacted by this Act.

  • Section I - This Act shall not come into effect unless the referendum amending the Constitution triggered by Article IV passes. The ratification of said amendment constitutes the repeal of this Article.

  • Section II - This act requires a 2/3rds majority in Congress and 3/5ths approval by the region to pass.

  • Section III - If this Act is approved by Congress and the region in a referendum, Articles I and II shall become a new Legislative Resolution named “Thaecian Security Council Formalization Act.” All other Articles shall not be considered as part of the legislative resolution.

To remove Article III, Section II of the Thaecian Constitution and replace with the following:

  • Section II - There shall be an elected World Assembly Delegate of Thaecia.

    • Sub-section I - There may be a Vice Delegate serving at the pleasure of the World Asembly Delegate elected on a ticket with the Delegate or confirmed through a simple majority vote in a referendum.

    • Sub-section II - If the position of Delegate is vacant the Vice Delegate shall become the Delegate. A further line of succession may be provided for by law.

    • Sub-section III - To run for or hold the offices of World Assembly Delegate or Vice Delegate, a nation must be a member of the World Assembly.

    • Sub-section IV - The elected World Assembly Delegate must hold the most WA Endorsements in the region during their tenure in office. The Vice Delegate must hold between the second most and tenth most WA Endorsements in the region during their tenure in office.

    • Sub-section V - Should a nation surpass the legal World Assembly Delegate in Endorsements, the nation may be ejected from the region for a period of one WA update in order to allow the Delegate to retain power.

    • Sub-section VI - There may be other regulations established by law on regional endorsement limits.

I'll tell you mine. I don't think this institution is essential but it would be good for WA participation. One thing I would like to change is remove the 25% requirement - I think it should be up to the delegate which requirement to set.

Section II - All nations, excluding the Vice Delegate, Prime Minister, and members of the Security Council, must have at least 25% less endorsements than a number of endorsements below the endorsement cap, set by the elected World Assembly Delegate. The endorsement cap may not be lower than 75% of the delegate's endorsements.

I. A nation may be ejected from the region if they surpasses the elected WA Delegate in endorsements or is within the 25% threshold of endorsements enacted by this Act the endorsement cap.

II. The Vice Delegate and members of the Security Council shall not surpass the amount of endorsements of the elected World Assembly Delegate but may reach within the 25% threshold of endorsements enacted by this Act shall have a higher endorsement cap, also set by the delegate.

I support amendment A

I have made an author amendment to the bill

I. Once a Security Councilor is confirmed by the House of Commons, they shall serve on the Council until they resign, cease to exist, lose citizenship, are disqualified from office, or are removed from office.

We have begun voting on the amendment!

On the question of if Amendment A should be added to the bill, the votes are as follows:

The ayes are 6, the abstains are 1. Therefore, the amendment has passed.

However, there is some concern about the bill, so will be starting a second debate period. If you would like to post your thoughts, be sure to do so.

I am proposing another amendment

Remove Article III and Article IV from the Act

Marvinville wrote:I am proposing another amendment

Remove Article III and Article IV from the Act

What's the reasoning behind this?

Solittus wrote:What's the reasoning behind this?

I realized that the constitutional amendment doesnt actually really do anything. Whatever is in the bill won't need a constitutional amendment

We will now be starting the vote on the amendment!

Amendment C- Aye
