| Message | Mr. Speaker, We can agree on article 1, but cannot work with Articles 2 through 4. Should Article 1 be rewritten in a seperate bill, we would give full support. We urge the House of Stafford to follow through with this course of action, but until such time, we will have to vote nay on this legislation. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
