| Message | Against. I urge parties to oppose this bill. I will match the offer of the PPP, opposing parties will recieve membership in an anti-Zogist Cabinet. The reason for changing our head of state to an elected position was in the interest of democracy. Zog was the Grand Emperor in years past, and under this regime, rights and freedom were abolished! |

| Message | ooc: absolutely, but I wrote this bill before knowing I would win the last election. I suggest you support, esp. if there is only one article you oppose. It would be easier to change that then to implement all these other changes another time..,. |
| Date | 00:16:57, January 31, 2010 CET | From | bandrewmc Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Adjustment |
| Message | I will Vote Yes if Whig agrees also, and if we all agree to change the proposal immediately. |
| Date | 03:40:20, January 31, 2010 CET | From | Constitutional Monarchy Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Adjustment |
| Message | It would be straightforward to write an identical bill without that article.. I know how difficult it is changing head of state laws also... |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
