Please don't post in this thread, PM me.
The Article numbers will change, I have named them 1 & 2 for reference for now.
A couple of question for you:
1. In Article 1, Part B, Section III, Sub-section IIIb, clause 3; It's stated that the President can ask for a Declaration of WAR at any time, is this too often? Should it be at certain times?
2. In Article 1, Part B, Section III, Sub-section IIIc, clause 1, sub-clause C; It's stated "Secretary of State needs the permission of the President to buy techs or in any deal in which we loose more than 250 gold." I had put 250 in as a place holder, should it be a definate amount? If so what? Or should it a percentage of our treasury? What percent?
Plus anyother general comments.
