| Message | Foreign Policy -- as most heads of state across the world deal with. You get to keep roleplaing your people on the forums. Your party will still be able to form a government but there is no reason why the President should have such arbitrary amounts of power. Regardless, as I said, there will be no compromise on the matter. |

| Message | The President represent the State and is the safeguard of the national independence, unity and territorial integrity of the country. The President shall guard the observance of the Constitution and the proper functioning of the public authorities. To this effect, he shall act as a mediator between the Powers in the State, as well as between the State and society. During his term of office, the President may not be a member of any political party, nor may he perform any other public or private office. The President may consult with the Government about urgent, extremely important matters. The President may participate in the meetings of the Government debating upon matters of national interest with regard to foreign policy, the defence of the country, ensurance of public order, and, at the Prime Minister's request, in other instances as well. The President shall preside over the Government meetings he participates in. The President shall address Parliament by messages on the main political issues of the nation. The President may, after consultation with Parliament, ask the people to express, by referendum, their will on matters of national interest.

| Message | "During his term of office, the President may not be a member of any political party, nor may he perform any other public or private office" Now the President is elected by the citizens in the elections. Do you want that the President does not belong to any political party? Very well, then we have to propose a President "symbolic": The Head of State is hereditary and symbolic; the Head of Government chairs the cabinet. Do you want this? Otherwise I do not understand. |

| Message | That is obviously not true as we still have elections for the President. Incorporating our Constitutional Amendments would not create a "hereditary" head of state and as PNL pointed out -- the President has many other responsibilities without needing to chair the cabinet. |

| Message | "During his term of office, the President may not be a member of any political party" The president must not represent the interests of a certain party or group of parties is what is meant by this. Of course he'll be candidating with the support of a party, but he must detach himself of it once in office. |

| Message | I'm not so convinced that it is the best choice, but I also believe that it is not worse than the current one. I will meet the demands of PNL and I insert the ability of each party to propose a government. However, I ask that become mandatory Consultations of the President of the Republic. You will have to propose the coalition to the President and you will have to wait for his official approval. Under this condition I will put this bill in vote. |

| Message | In the meantime I want know the opinion of the other political forces about the three alternatives: a) Only the Head of State can propose a cabinet coalition. b) Only the largest parties can propose a cabinet. c) Each party can propose a cabinet coalition. |

| Message | c) is what we strive for. |

| Message | We agree with the proposals of the DPQ and the PNL; we should adopt a parliamentary system, and vest more power in the legislature. |
