Bill: Democratic Efficiency Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: AM RIP Tetragrammaton
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: January 2202
Description[?]:
| In order to improve the rights of the citizen, and restrict the ability of super-parties to build dictatorship like societies, we believe that the length of the legislative and executive term should be shortened. This would create more competition among parties, give the chance to vote more often, and would give the citizen more democratic privilege. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The length of a legislative and executive term, in months. Should be between 24 and 72.
Old value:: 36
Current: 36
Proposed: 24
