Bill: More Power to the People Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Independent Capitalist Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 2355
Description[?]:
The head of government actually has the power and the head of state is purely ceremonial. The head of state position is useless and should therefore be abolished. The people, however, vote for the head of state and not the position with the true power. Therefore, the head of government and cabinet can be more accountable to the people if the head of government is the head of state and thus voted upon. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Structure of the executive branch.
Old value:: The Head of State and Head of Government are two separate officials.
Current: The Head of State is also Head of Government.
Proposed: The Head of State is also Head of Government.
