Bill: Government Restructure
Details
Submitted by[?]: Srnkzi Knstat Prta
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: April 3560
Description[?]:
This bill is a radical change. In this bill we propose experimenting with a different form of government. We propose establishing a peaceful Junta and starting mostly over with the executive branch. We feel decades of laws andd bureacracy have made the current system bloated and expensive. So we propose a major restructure of government as an experiment with a clean slate. We will eliminate many of the bureacracies of the government and centralize a skeleton core all into one small bureacracy. The costs saved will be enourmous. The new jelbic junta will be radically smaller than the current structure. Due to this many operations will become streamlined and much more federalization will be possible. As much of the current system as possible will be preserved for the duration of the experiment. The system will also still be democratic. The constitution will remain unchanged. |
