| Message | Mr. Speaker, I hereby open this proposal to debate. Senator Wyatt McLaughlin (F-AD) Federalist Senate Leader OOC: We don't necessarily have to change the name of the Prime Minister and if there are any objections other than that please let me know. I'm really just looking to provide concrete RP definitions to current roles. |

| Message | ''Mr. Speaker We disagree to the idea of having the Speaker of the Senate second in the line of succession, for us, speaker does not seem like a enough important position to deserve to be so high in the line of succession'' -Daphne Chang Senator and former Prime Minister OOC: There many place in your text where the word ''Chancellor'' is used. Shouldn't you replace it by ''Prime Minister''? |
| Date | 06:05:45, June 19, 2017 CET | From | Federal Heritage Party of Hutori | To | Debating the F-63: Executive Definition Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We would like to ask of the Senator Chang where she and her party would place the Speaker in the line of succession? Senator Wyatt McLaughlin (F-AD) Federalist Senate Leader OOC: I largely based the line of succession on the U.S.' that's why the speaker is second. Furthermore I'll change the Chancellor to Prime Minister if you don't like it but, I was trying to make us have a bit more of a unique political structure. |
| Date | 03:17:44, June 21, 2017 CET | From | National Progress Party | To | Debating the F-63: Executive Definition Act |
| Message | ''Mr. Speaker Here the line of succession that we would propose: the Prime Minister, the Foreign Affairs Minster, the Defense Minister, the Internal Affairs Minster, the Minister of Justice, the Finance Minister, the Minister of Trade and Industry, the Minister of Science and Technology, the Minister of Education and Culture, the Minister of Food and Agriculture, the Minister of Health and Social Services, the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, the Minister of Environment and Tourism and then the Speaker of the Senate'' --Daphne Chang Senator and former Prime Minister OOC: Hutori is very different from the U.S so I don't think you should base the line fo succession on them. In the U.S, the speaker is a very important position while in Hutori the speaker is just the person who arbitrate the debate so I don't think he shoudlbe put at the begining of the line of sucession. I would prefer the title of ''chancellor'' to be change to ''Prime Minister'' as I think chancellor is not a titles that suit the actual political culture of Hutori. |
| Date | 03:33:37, June 29, 2017 CET | From | Social Liberal Party | To | Debating the F-63: Executive Definition Act |
| Message | OCC: I think that we should create the office of Leader of the Official Opposition, which is the leader of the largest Senate party that is not in government, like in every Westminster political system |
| Date | 04:06:36, June 29, 2017 CET | From | National Progress Party | To | Debating the F-63: Executive Definition Act |
| Message | OOC: Technically, we already do. We just don't really use the title of ''leader of the opposition'' anymore but it still exist. |
| Date | 12:10:52, June 29, 2017 CET | From | Liberal Party of Hutori | To | Debating the F-63: Executive Definition Act |
| Message | OOC: more specifically no one choses to use the term Leader of the Official Opposition. It very much exists; I actively use it when I'm the largest opposition party both federally and when I RP Provincal parties. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
