Council Votes - Who should be able to call them?

[Shaitan]

Recent revelations have shown that our Constitution allows only the President to call a Council vote. I think things have been working pretty well the way we've been doing them so I'm going to propose the following:

There are 3 basic types of Council Vote. Impeachment votes are called by the Moderators following citizen complaint. Administrative votes (overruling the decisions of a cabinet member or governor) are called by the President. Legislative votes (changes or clarifications to the Constitution) are called by any Council member including the President. The President can veto a legislative vote, preventing a change in the constitution.

The first two are the same as the Constution reads right now. I've added the right to call Constitution votes to the Council and countered that with giving the President veto power. This effectively allows the Council members to do what we have been all along (proposing changes to the constitution) while keeping final control in the hands of the Pres as the existing rules have it.

What say you all?

Well, it's worked so far so let's make it official. But you can get Impeached for breaking the law. But i only think somone who hates you or him enough would. Or somone who thinks you are getting too much power form this. With this you can get popular and other people will be afraid you will get too popular and say your president (Like that will happen. )
So i vote make it Official.

i'd like to see someone try, it'd be funny if it passed!

 

[Strider]

Funny? It'll just someone TRYING to get it pasted will be funny! It's like walking up to the US President and asking him if you can a protest ralley in his office!

i should hope that no-one wants either of them impeached, their great officials. make it oficial, i don;t think GF minds. or does he?

It's like walking up to the US President and asking him if you can a protest ralley in his office!

more like asking him to pass a law that would make assasinating him legal

I think it should be made official. If we follow the rule as written then if someone other than the President is playing the game then he or she would not be able to call a cabinent vote during game play!

I agree, all cabinet members should be able to call a cabinet vote.

It should be their constitutional right!
