Council Vote - Addendum to Section G

This Council Vote is for the approval of changing Section G. of the Code of Standards (COS). This Section deals with eligibility of Deputy Leaders to Governors as official Election options and will be changed in the following manner, as proposed by Donsig below:

SECTION G ELECTIONS

Point 6) Eligibility

A) Current officials are eligible to run for President.

(1) Officials include the Presidency, Vice Presidency,
Department Leaders, Department Deputies, Judiciary
and Provincial Governors and deputy governors.

Point 9) Election polls

A) The candidate with the highest votes wins the elected position.

(1) For departments, provinces and the Presidency, the candidate with the second highest votes wins the Deputy position.


This poll will remain open until it received 4 YES or 4 NO votes (quorum). In the event there is a tie, the President will cast the tie-breaking vote. ALL Department Leaders should respond with a YES, NO, or ABSTAIN.

The discussion initiating this vote is here.

YES

Yes.

These proposed changes to standards are currently invalid and unsupportable as they directly contradict Code of Laws Section D, Point 1-b:
Governors do not have Deputies but may appoint an Acting Governor when unable to fulfill their duties. The Acting Governor has all powers and responsibilities of the Governor but is a temporary position and must surrender their acting status upon the request of the governor.

These proposed changes to standards will become valid and supportable if COL D-1-b is amended as currently planned to:
Each province will have a deputy governor. The deputy governor assumes all powers and responsibilities of the governor during the absence of the governor.

No.

hehehe. OK, I'll put it on a shelf it until that's done.

I see our Chief Justice has received my unconstitutional rubber stamp.
