| Message | We will support this, but given that we are an Imperial Republic we suggest that the formal title be shortened to just Emperor, rather than either Emperor Elect or President. |

| Message | President, besides being the most boring possible choice in the known universe for a HoS, is inappropriate as we are an Imperial Republic. When we crafted the modern Imperial Republic, we thought that having an Emperor Elect vs. an Emperor made much more sense as the latter term implies lifelong rule, which is not compatible with our current democracy. |

| Message | Whereas I really don't care about President, I would be willing to change the name to something more interesting while not being just plain weird, like Emperor Elect........ changed HoS to Emperor, HoG to Premier |

| Message | We still cannot agree with the naming scheme. Prime Minister, and Emperor will do. We still think Emperor Elect is too long of a name. |
