Voting deadline: October 3679
Description[?]:
| In order to ensure a continuancy of leadership, in lights of http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=387843, we, Presidium of the Great Democratic Republic of Lodamun, declare that if in case the President would find him/herself in the impossibility to rule the vice-president will be acting President of the Republic untill a new President has been assigned. In case there are several vice-presidents, the first vice-president will become acting President. If no pecking order has been determined, the vice-president of the largest fraction will be the successor. When there are no vice-presidents, the Minister of Foreign Affairs will perform the Presidents duties untill a new President has been assigned. If another President needs to be appointed, the party that was providing the President can propose a new President. Eventhough, the departments are not te be reshuffled. A personnel shift would remain possible for obvious reasons. For the record: an acting president has a mostly protocolary role. He/she is not entitled to speak right. signed Jorik Urbain P&A specialist Internal Affairs |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, While this makes perfect sense, we are not sure whether we will support it or not. Without a President, Lodamun's political system can still function with the MPs collectively exercising Presidential authority. Still, the Presidium's priority would usually be to elect a new President, which would take a few months, and the bill would make sense for an acting President during that time. I guess we will support it. We want to hear what the other parties have to say, first. -- Benjamin Landau, Chairman of the GNRG, President of Lodamun |

| Date | 15:48:41, June 10, 2014 CET | From | Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the Presidential continuancy |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, I believe my party's concern is whether the Vice President will have all the powers of the President. -- Benjamin Landau, Chairman of the GNRG, President of Lodamun |
| Date | 16:22:07, June 10, 2014 CET | From | Grand Nationalist Fraction | To | Debating the Presidential continuancy |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, colleagues, we might find a consensus here. By law the president speaks right. We could put this in the bill that an acting President does not have these powers. Ted Urbain P&A chairman vice-president of Lodamun |
| Date | 16:30:11, June 10, 2014 CET | From | Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the Presidential continuancy |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Vice President Urbain's last statement has resulted in my support for the bill. Benjamin Landau, Chairman of the GNRG, President of Lodamun |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
