Description[?]:
| Some time ago we have started a good debate on the presidential powers, we think that this is the moment to finally establish and fix some important points. Art. 1 The Président de la République is the higher institutional role in the country, he symbolize the union and cohesion of Jelbania and must be guarantor of democracy, liberty and respect between the different factions. Art. 2 The Président must be independent and free in his actions and messages to the country, but for international messages he should consult the cabinet ( First of all the Head of government and the ministry of foreign affairs) Art. 3 The president has veto power over troop deployment to foreign nations Art. 4 the Assembly is able to overturn the president's veto over troop deployment with a 2/3rds supermajority. Art. 5 The ministers shall regurlarly consult with each other on policies. Art. 6 All official messages to foreign nations or leaders shall be signed by the prime minister , the minister of foreign affairs and possibly the Président, in case of divergence between the Président and the cabinet, the cabinet have the final decision. |

| Message | We think these are excellent proposals and we support them. |
| Date | 19:55:39, December 13, 2007 CET | From | Social Liberal Party - D.L.J. | To | Debating the Institutional reform act- June 2500 |
| Message | We have one suggestion: that the Assembly should be able to overturn the president's veto over troop deployment with a 2/3rds supermajority. This will limit the ability of one man to circumvent the representatives of the people, but at the same time, linking this to the Deltarian declaration which passed 53-47 then was vetoed, would still prevent warmongering. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
