Message | OOC: Dont think this is 100% kosher in terms of game rules... obviously I cannot make a ruling on it since im involved but I will pass it to Polites so he can take a look. Also if this passes with a two thirds majority then the referendum will not matter as the votes will have dictated the result regardless of the wishes of the ppl. Article 2(c)(2): The President shall have final assent regarding legislation, and shall when necessary at the beginning of each legislative term, appoint a Prime Minister of his or her choosing from among the largest party within the legislature. The Prime Minister shall have the power of original assent on legislation, and shall chair meetings of the cabinet during those times when the President is not present." Is my biggest worry, this would contradict game mechanics and rules, but as I say I cant make a ruling. |
