The age of majority of the King shall be laid down by law. 9. As soon as the King has attained the age prescribed by law, he shall make a public declaration that he is of age. 10.

If the Parliament is not in session at the time, the oath shall be made in writing in the Cabinet and be repeated solemnly by the King at the first subsequent Parliament. 11. The King shall reside in the United Kingdoms and may not, without the consent of the Parliament, remain outside The United Kingdoms for more than six months at a time, otherwise he shall have forfeited, for his person, the right to The Throne. 12. The King may not accept any other crown or government without the consent of the Parliament, for which two thirds of the votes are required. 13. The King himself chooses a Cabinet under the Prime Minister’s recommendations, from among members of the House of Commons. This Cabinet shall consist of The Prime Minister and at least thirteen other Ministers. 14. The King apportions the business among the Members of the Cabinet,as he deems appropriate. Under extraordinary circumstances, besides the ordinary Members of the Cabinet, the King may summon other Aldurien citizens, although no Members of the Parliament, to take a seat in the Cabinet. 15. Husband and wife, parent and child or two siblings may never sit at the same time in the Cabinet. 16. During his travels within The United Kingdom, the King may delegate the administration of the the Several Kingdoms to the Cabinet.

It shall scrupulously observe the provisions of this Constitution, as well as such particular directives in conformity therewith as the King may instruct. 17.

The Council of The Ten Crowns shall make a report to the King on matters of business which it thus decides. 19.

Each State Secretary shall act on behalf of the Member of the Cabinet to whom he is attached to the extent determined by that Member. 20. The King may issue and repeal ordinances relating to commerce, customs tariffs, all economic sectors and the police; although these must not conflict with the Constitution or with the laws passed by the Parliament. They shall remain in force provisionally until the next Parliament. 21. As a general rule the King shall provide for the collection of the taxes and duties imposed by the Parliament. 22. The King shall ensure that the properties and prerogatives of the Kingdoms are utilized and administered in the manner determined by the Parliament and in the best interests of the general public. 23. The King shall have the right in the Cabinet to pardon criminals after sentence has been passed. The criminal shall have the choice of accepting the King's pardon or submitting to the penalty imposed. 24. In proceedings which the Supreme Court of The United Kingdoms causes to be brought before the Court of Impeachment, no pardon other than deliverance from the death penalty may be granted. 25. The King shall choose and appoint, after consultation with his Cabinet, all senior civil, ecclesiastical and military officials. Before the appointment is made, such officials shall swear or, if by law exempted from taking the oath, solemnly declare obedience and allegiance to the Constitution Of The United Kingdoms, although senior officials who are not Aldurien nationals may by law be exempted from this duty. The Royal Princes must not hold senior civil offices. 26. The Prime Minister and the other Members of the Cabinet, together with the United Kingdoms Secretaries, may be dismissed by the King without any prior court judgment, after he has heard the opinion of the Cabinet on the subject. The same applies to senior officials employed in government offices or in the diplomatic or consular service, to the highest ranking civil and ecclesiastical officials, commanders of regiments and other military formations, commandants of forts and officers commanding warships. Whether pensions should be granted to senior officials thus dismissed shall be determined by the next Parliament. 27. In the interval they shall receive two thirds of their previous pay. 28. Other senior officials may only be suspended by the King, and must then without delay be charged before the Courts, but they may not, except by court judgment, be dismissed nor, against their will, transferred. 29. All senior officials may, without a prior court judgment, be discharged from office upon attaining the statutory age limit. 30. The King may bestow orders upon whomever he pleases, as a reward for distinguished services, and such orders must be publicly announced, but no rank or title other than that attached to any office. The order exempts no one from the common duties and burdens of citizens, nor does it carry with it any preferential admission to senior official posts in the Kingdoms. Senior officials honourably discharged from office retain the title and rank of their office. This does not apply, however, to Members of the Cabinet or Secretaries. 31. No personal, or mixed, hereditary privileges may henceforth be granted to anyone. 32. The King chooses and dismisses, at his own discretion, his Royal Household and Court Officials. 33.

The territorial army and the other troops which cannot be classed as troops of the line must never, without the consent of the Parliament, be employed outside the borders of the Kingdoms. 35. The King has the right to call up troops, to engage in hostilities in defence of the Kingdoms and to make peace, to conclude and denounce conventions, to send and to receive diplomatic envoys. 36. Treaties on matters of special importance, and, in all cases, treaties whose implementation, according to the Constitution, necessitates a new law or a decision by the Parliament, are not binding until the Parliament has given its consent thereto. 37. All Members of the Cabinet shall, unless lawfully absent, attend the Cabinet and no decision may be adopted there unless more than half the number of members are present. 38. Proposals regarding appointments to senior official posts and other matters of importance shall be presented in the Cabinet by the Member under whose department they come, and such matters shall be dealt with by him in accordance with the decision adopted in the Cabinet. However, matters strictly relating to military command may, to the extent determined by the King, be excepted from proceedings in the Cabinet. 39. If a Member of the Cabinet is lawfully prevented from attending the meeting, if by law exempted from taking the oath, solemnly declare obedience and allegiance to the Constitution and the King, although senior officials who are not Aldurien nationals may by law be exempted from this duty. The Royal Princes must not hold senior civil offices. 40. If so many Members are lawfully prevented from attending that not more than half of the stipulated number are present, the requisite number of other men or women shall be temporarily appointed to take a seat in the Cabinet. 41. All the proceedings of the Council of The Cabinet shall be entered in its records. Diplomatic matters which the Cabinet decides to keep secret shall be entered in a special record. The same applies to military command matters which the Cabinet decides to keep secret. 42. Everyone who has a seat in the Council of The Cabinet has the duty frankly to express his opinion, to which the King is bound to listen. But it rests with the King to make a decision according to his own judgment. 43. If any Member of the Cabinet is of the opinion that the King's decision conflicts with the form of government or the laws of the United Kingdoms, or is clearly prejudicial to the Kingdoms, it is his duty to make strong remonstrances against it, as well as to have his opinion entered in the records. A member who has not thus protested is deemed to have been in agreement with the King, and shall be answerable in such manner as may be subsequently decided, and may be impeached by the Parliament before the Court of Impeachment. 44. All decisions drawn up by the King shall, in order to become valid, be countersigned. The decisions relating to military command are countersigned by the person who has presented the matter, while other decisions are countersigned by the Prime Minister, or if he has not been present, by the highest-ranking Member of the Cabinet present. 45. The decisions adopted by the Government during the King's absence shall be drawn up in the King's name and be signed by the Cabinet. 46. The King shall make provisions concerning titles for those who are entitled to succeed to The Crown. 47. As soon as the heir to the Throne has completed her or his eighteenth year, she or he is entitled to take a seat in the Cabinet, although without a vote or responsibility. 48. A Princess or Prince entitled to succeed to the Crown may not marry without the consent of the King. Nor may she or he accept any other crown or government without the consent of the King and the Parliament; for the consent of the Parliament two thirds of the votes are required. 49. If she or he acts contrary to this rule, they and their descendants forfeit their right to the Throne. 50. The Royal Princes and Princesses shall not personally be answerable to anyone other than the King, or whomever he decrees to sit in judgment on them. 51. If the King dies and the heir to the Throne is still under age, the Cabinet shall immediately summon the Parliament. 52. Until the Congress has assembled and made provisions for the government during the minority of the King, the Cabinet shall be responsible for the administration of the Kingdoms in accordance with the Constitution. 53. If the King is absent from the Kingdoms unless commanding in the field, or if he is so ill that he cannot attend to the government, the person next entitled to succeed to the Throne shall, provided that he has attained the age stipulated for the King's majority, conduct the government as the temporary executor of the Royal Powers. If this is not the case, the Cabinet will conduct the administration of the Kingdoms. 54. The choice of trustees to conduct the government on behalf of the King during his minority shall be undertaken by the Parliament. 55. The Princess or Prince who, conducts the government shall make the following oath in writing before the Parliament: "I promise and swear that I will conduct the government in accordance with the Constitution and the Laws, so help me God, the Almighty and Omniscient". 56. If the Parliament is not in session at the time, the oath shall be made in the Cabinet and later be presented to the next Parliament. 57. The Princess or Prince who has once made the oath shall not repeat it later. 58. As soon as their conduct of the government ceases, the trustees shall submit to the King and the Parliament an account of the same. 59. If the persons concerned fail to summon the Parliament, it becomes the unconditional duty of the Supreme Court, as soon as four weeks have elapsed, to arrange for the Parliament to be summoned. 60.

| Message | Can the honourable member explain the use of "republican" in article V, Section 4? Can the Honourable member sponsoring this bill provide us a valid translation into Canrillaise? Est-ce que l'honorable député peut nous illuminer qu'est-ce qu' il veut dire dans l'article V section 4 de ce projet? Peut-il nous faciliter une copie de la version en canrillaise? |
| Date | 07:58:11, July 19, 2017 CET | From | Les Conservateurs | To | Debating the La Constitution des Royaumes Unis d'Aldurie |
| Message | As the honourable member already know, each state(Kingdom) elects its executive governor and a legislative assembly(the senate) every five year During the National election. We could have use the words 'Constitutional monarchy' but in a constitutional monarchy the executive power is given to the Prime or First Minister and his cabinet which happen to be also part of the legislative body. To more simply explain it the republican term expresses a government which totally separate executive, legislative and judicial powers and that's what we wanted to express. |
| Date | 09:34:52, July 19, 2017 CET | From | Reconstruire l'ancien (RA) | To | Debating the La Constitution des Royaumes Unis d'Aldurie |
| Message | Occ: no omg, in the bill you keep referring to the Monarch as the king, and I wanted you to change this |

| Message | We consider the most precise word for that is "presidential" in contrast with "parliamentary", since "republican" has not referred to that separation since the 19th century and can be easily misinterpreted. Also, the gender-neutral reference to the Head of State is a conditio sine qua non for having us content with the bill. |

| Message | Another important doubt: do you consider "States" as kingdoms so Aldurie is a personal union of various kingdoms with their different political systems? If not, you will have to use "the United Kingdom" and, in Canrillaise, "le Royaume Uni". |

| Message | I consider the states as several kingdoms United under the same monarch, who happen to be represented by Governors with executive power in each state elected by the same people of that same state. How can we refer to a presidential system if there is no president? I beleive that even though the term republican can be misinterpreted, it can still be better for referring to the system we are trying to refer to. If there is a better suggestion to replace the term republican we will endorse it. Yes each of them can have there personal political system as long as it is democratic. Or if you want we can impose a system on each of them. But one thing for sure is that they shall give the power to the people to elect Members of the House of Commons which, together with the cabinet and the judicial of the United Kingdoms of Aldurie, have Supreme power other every kingdoms. I can surely provide a canrilaise translation but that will take time. Sorry lop we tried to use the word Monarch at beginning to make it less gender bias. But in section one we ensure that everyone know that the Monarch can also be a queen. |
