Bill: Republic Act, 4341
Details
Submitted by[?]: Aurora Libertatis
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement 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.
Voting deadline: June 4344
Description[?]:
Senators, I ask you to do away with these dull, generic titles that are not worthy of a nation with a history like our own. There are already too many generic republics in this world, with a "President" and a "Prime minister" governing an "assembly" of some sort. Pontesia should not be one of them. It is an insult to our forefathers. Let us restore what was before the alien Ahmadi corrupted our constitution. Nigilia Helvetia Aurora Libertatis |

Message | First magic doesn't exist we will not have a general head of government and there will be no throne if this bill passes but we could perhaps change it to just the senate. |

Message | Senators, Magic is certainly a sport that exists. Just visit your nearest amusement part. If the honourable gentleman prefers the term "Illusionist", that is fine for us - but a sport as generic as "football" is certainly not representative of our grand nation and its history - just like titles such as "President" or "Prime minister". The title of "Grand Vizier-General" is ancient and was used as far as two thousand years ago, and doesn't seem to denote any kind of military rank, although I guess simply "Grand Vizier" could do well too. The Cedar tree is a representation of all Pontesians, although just "Senate" or "Senate of the Cedars" would certainly be an improvement. Nigilia Helvetia |

Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
