Description[?]:
| This bill asks for an amendment 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. Baltusia's highest offices are worthy of the highest honors. Thus the positions must be respected as such. We propose an amendment to our constitution regarding the requirements to run or be appointed in the highest positions of the public office of Baltusia, and their public responsibilities. Article 1: On the Requirements for taking oath into a State Office: The President must be at least 25 years old to take oath into office. Members of the Cabinet and State Governors must be at least 21 years old to take office. Members of Congress, Mayors and the rest of the state officials must be at least 18 years old at the time of the oath, not necessarily the age of adulthood stated by our legislation (it can be the same age). The President of Baltusia must have been an official Baltusian citizen for at least two thirds of their life since turning the age of eighteen. The President of Baltusia, Members of the Cabinet, State Governors, Members of Congress, and all State Officials must be Baltusian Citizens at the time of the oath. Article 2: The President of Baltusia, Members of the Cabinet and State Governors, can be impeached and asked for their destitution after being accused of a serious constitutional offense. This Impeachment Request must be formally presented to the Congress, where the case must be thoroughly presented. The Impeachment will be granted with a 2/3rd plus one majority in the congress. Article 3: The President of Baltusia can present their resignation to their charge. the Prime Minister (head or government, if the head of state and head of government roles are separate) automatically becomes the acting President until an election can be called, if the head of state is the head of government then the outgoing President chooses either the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the Secretary of State for Internal Affairs, the Secretary of State for Finance, or the Secretary of State for Defence to become the acting President until an election can be called Members of the Cabinet, State Governors and the rest of the State Officials can freely present their resignation to their superior. Article 4: If a President is impeached, unable to continue their duties or dead, the congress must approve to call early elections as soon as possible. FINAL ARTICLE: If approved, this bill will take effect immediately. All state Officials which do not meet the requirements will be able to finish their term correctly, but cannot be reelected or reappointed if their situation is not normalized prior to the oath. Signed, President and Commander-in-Chief Jenessa Hawkins Prime Minister Jim Elder |
