Bill: Constitutional Amendment Proposals
Details
Submitted by[?]: Jakanian People's 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: May 2976
Description[?]:
| The Jakanian People's Party have the following proposals for amendments to the constitution: 1. Prime Minister is a very generic and common title in Terra. We believe that we should change back to the old title of Chancellor, the title used in Jakania until the Jakanian Liberty Front changed it, just one of many unnecessary changes done during their term. Another idea would be First Minister. 2. We also believe that elections should stand every 3rd year, as it did earlier, instead of every fourth. This will ensure that the people more often can decide what path the nation shall take Symbolic amendments: 3. The national sport of Jakania is "debate". We don't think we are the only ones that believe that we should have an actual sport as the national sport. Our proposals is Golf, Changed to Sailing. These four proposals comes from the Jakanian People's Party, we now want to hear the ideas and suggestions from the other parties regarding theses constitutional amendments or other. |

| Message | We'd support any and all of these proposals - the flag is an improvement, while not absolutely perfect. With regards the national sport, we don't want anything too generic - golf fits that nicely, as would sailing or cycling, just to throw a couple more into the mix... The Chancellor name change and 3-year elections we support 100% |

| Message | I think I'd prefer sailing. It fits nicely with our coastal nation, since almost the entire population lives close to the sea. The flag can be discussed again at a later point. |
