From	Beluzian Party
To	Debating the RP: The Government Procedure Act of 4669
Message	OOC:this has not been approved by the majority of the parties, and were not either when they were made, and they are way too complex to roleplay well, and they look like the United Party made them to make it impossible for another party to roleplay. Sinc the VP can overthrow the President unless he has 2/3 majority, the Beluzian Party will not abide by them, changes I ask are removal of section 7.

Date	07:34:22, November 24, 2019 CET
From	United Party
To	Debating the RP: The Government Procedure Act of 4669
Message	OOC: One this Bill was originally proposed by another party a while back, two I do believe it carried a majority of parties then, three this Bill can be approved by a majority of parties if the UBWP and SUP agrees, three the Vice Presidents alone cannot vote for the removal of the President And the National Congress is the body that needs to vote 2/3 against reinstatement not the other way around Also an explanation of what each section means as it is not overly complicated: Section 1 is just an order of how parties can propose Cabinets so as to prevent consistent Cabinet spamming Section 2 simply states what occurs in cases of a Ministry being vacant requiring the Head of Government’s party to propose a replacement Section 3 is general info about the establishment of the Senior and Junior Vice Presidents, although I guess in the current regime it should be Vice Chairmen, it is not too complicated simply the party in control of the office should ask 2 other parties for individuals to appoint as Vice President l Section 4 Establishes the rules and duties of a speaker Section 5 establishes the line of succession to the Head of State and, if they are the same, Head of Government Section 6 states what happens if the President/Chairman indicates that they are incapacitated, I believe this is almost a copy paste from the US Constitution it’s self Section 7 allows the Vice President and a Majority of the Cabinet to declare the President incapacitated however the President states he is fine, then he is reinstated unless the Ministry and Vice Presidents overrule him, if they try to overrule him the National Congress must assemble and vote, if 2/3 of the Legislature votes the President is still unable to preform his duties the President is not reinstated, but if they fall short of that total the President is fully reinstated

Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar).

Random quote: "What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?" - Mahatma Gandhi.
