Bill: Second Prerogative Reform Act

Details

Submitted by[?]: Party for Capitalist Freedom

Status[?]: passed

Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Voting deadline: February 4616

Description[?]:

We propose to change the current prerogative with the following:

1) Any Party that in the National Assembly may present a New Cabinet Bill in Kalistan according to procedures set below.
a) The Right of First Refusal will be given to the Presidential Party or the Largest Opposition Party to create a new Government.
b) If a new government is not proposed by the Presidential Party or the Largest Opposition Party within 6 months of the conclusion of the election, the next largest Party may attempt to form a new Government. Should said Party fail, the next largest Party may attempt to form a government. This continues in a descending fashion until either a government is formed,or every party has attempted to form a government. If no Party is able to form a government during this process, any Party may propose a Government.
c) The sitting government shall remain in place and with full powers until a new government bill receives a majority affirmative vote.

2) In forming the Cabinet, All Principles of Separation of Powers SHOULD be observed. Those Principles are listed here:
a) The Party of the President SHOULD hold the seat of Foreign Affairs, whatever other arrangements may be made. This is to ensure continuity in foreign policy and to Give the President a role in Government, even if they are not part of the Coalition.
b) The cabinet seat assignments SHOULD reflect the Assembly strength of the Governing coalition, but this is not absolutely required.
c) The Cabinet should reflect a MAJORITY of the Assembly

3) At any time, any of these Parties may wave these PRIVILEGES listed in the Prerogative.

4) Bills of No Confidence: A Bill of No Confidence may NOT be attached to an Early Election bill. In the case of a Bill of No Confidence, the Assembly is saying that it does not have confidence in the ability of a Government to continue to govern. They must NOT touch the office of the Presidency.
a) In the instance of a Party wishing to call a No Confidence Vote, the sponsors of the No Confidence Vote simply propose a new Government bill, which follows the above rules, with exception to 1a and 2b and c.
b) Parties without seats may not propose bills of No Confidence.
c) A new government bill may also be proposed in the event that three or more Ministries are without Ministers due to resignation according to the rules in this section.

5) Presidential Impeachment- All Impeachment hearings for cause will take place in the National Constitutional Court.
a) If a President is tried for some high crime or Misdemeanor, and if found guilty of the crime, they may be removed from office.
b) In the event of a conviction, the Plaintiff will sponsor an early election in which the Removed President is forbidden from running. The Party to which the convicted and removed President belonged may run another candidate.
c) In the event of a conviction, the Removed President may run only after the election following the aforementioned early election

6) Early Elections- Early Election bills may normally only happen when any of the Assembly's seats are vacant due to inactivation or some other reason. They may also occur if there is only one active Party in Kalistan or no Parties with seats. If an early election bill is proposed for any other reason, Parties SHOULD oppose the bill to keep Kalistan's elections on a regular schedule

MessageThis is a blatant consolidation of power and the KIRP will not stand for it. Clearly the PCF believes the laws of Kalistan are optional.

ToDebating the Second Prerogative Reform Act
MessageAnd it is worth mentioning- this “reform” does not apply retroactively. The current cabinet is still illegal.

ToDebating the Second Prerogative Reform Act
MessageThe PCF is simply updating outdated laws, as this constitutional buerocracy has rightly been ignored for decades and is therefore, in the opinion of our party, null and void. The KIRP however wishes to look back and bring back a figure of extreme authoritarianism, which also goes against the constitutional laws of the country, which state the Head of State must be elected.

MessageThis is no reform, this is power consolidation, plain and simple. The PCF would rather turn Kalistan to Anarchy than follow inconvenient laws.

MessageAnd the fact remains that, again, this law does not apply retroactively. The current presidential cabinet is illegal, whether or not this passes.

MessageYou're quite right, we would rather turn Kalistan to anarchy than have the extreme authoritarianism you're proposing, we must remove unnecessary bureaucracy on the governing power which prevents it from removing unnecessary bureaucracy from the people.

If you still believe the cabinet is illegal, you're within your right table a motion of no confidence.

MessageYou are not “returning democracy to the people”, and expecting you to follow the letter of Kalistani law is not authoritarianism. And we DID table a motion of no confidence.
