| Message | Senators, Given that, under Selucian constitutional theory, the Caesar and Consul have equal powers and responsibilities and jointly head the executive, our constitutional order may be negatively affected by providing different lines of succession for the two offices. It would be best to restore the ancient tradition of the Suffect Consul. During ancient times it was not at all rare that one of the two Consuls would die in battle, and the Centuriate Assembly would then elect a Suffect Consul to carry out the remainder of the deceased Consul's term. We believe that the same principle should apply today. If either the Caesar or the Consul become incapacitated, the Senate should elect a replacement, in order to serve with the other executive leader for the remainder of their term in office. Other than that we support the proposed line fo succession. Rebecca Clodia Pastor Senatrix |

| Message | Senators, Our proposal relies on the different ways of appointment of both Consuls, as the Consul Populi is directly chosen by the citizens and the Caesar is chosen by the Senate. that is why we think there shall be different methods of succesion. Therefore, is the Republican Party suggesting that, if the Consul becomes incapacited, the Senate shall have the power to appoint an interim Consul? Algia Privata Senatrix |
| Date | 17:17:48, July 10, 2018 CET | From | Factio Republicana Socialistica | To | Debating the Iure Successionis de Res Publica Seluciae |
| Message | Senators, That is what we are proposing, yes. Perhaps a more stable solution is to require each Consul to select a Suffect Consul as a vice-presidential candidate, who would then be elected by the People or the Senate together with the Consul themselves. Rebecca Clodia Pastor Senatrix |
