| Message | Wait, we're having fun with the title of our head of state, but our motto needs to be more serious? :D |

| Message | Oh, i'm convinced by the "fun motto" argument. But i'd hate to cancel a bill that let people argue about who was the most libertarian. ;) How about Governor-General as head of state? It's Commonwealth-y! |

| Message | Gah, I'm done with that. *lol* Governor-General sounds too military, even if General's not meant in that sense. Honestly, I like leaving it as President. That way I can have my head of state as President Councillor, and you guys don't have to. :D |

| Message | I quite like President really. But don't mind hearing alternatives. We could go for El Presidente and be a banana republic. |

| Message | Well, we could change President to President Councillor.... |
| Date | 23:02:10, May 09, 2005 CET | From | Chorus of Amyst | To | Debating the Executive titles act (2050) |
| Message | See, I didn't propose that because I can do it myself by adding Councillor to the beginning of my candidate's name, and because I didn't know if any other parties would use the term. I'm with Albert as far as liking just President since it allows me my choice and does not force others to use Councillor if they don't want to. |
| Date | 04:08:29, May 10, 2005 CET | From | CNT/AFL | To | Debating the Executive titles act (2050) |
| Message | How about there is no title? Just a space. You can choose your own title for your candidate, and if your candidate's ego is reasonable enough to not want a title, he/she doesn't have to take one. |
| Date | 05:43:06, May 10, 2005 CET | From | Chorus of Amyst | To | Debating the Executive titles act (2050) |
| Message | Can we do that? I wouldn't object. |

| Message | I assumed it would require something entered in the field, but in fact a blank space works. That change has been made. |
