| Message | Mr. Speaker The Government may wish to revisit this Bill. Under Article 2.2 it explicitly makes reference to the "President". As the Prime Minister and this government no doubt knows there is no President in Hutori. We are currently a Constitutional Monarchy. My question subsequently Mr. Speaker is simple; is the Governmeng going to purposefully let a Bill pass that gives power to a position in the Hutorian government that doesn't exist, or is the technical power of veto going to be transferred to the Monarch?

| Message | Mr. Speaker, it seems like the Honorable member from the opposition is right, a typo seems to have slide itself in this bill. Maybe one of our staff had a bit of Republican zeal when writting it and accidentally put the word President in the bill. I would like to apologize for that mistake. Indeed for now veto is going to be transferred to the Monarch. As soon as this bill pass, we will make another bill to correct this mistake. -Amanda Barclay Minister of Finance MP for Aylesbury North |

| Message | Mr.Speaker Ignoring the lack of attention from the government when creating the bill,I would simply like to point out that the Democratic Party stands firm in its belief that the Government that governs least,governs best. Therefore this is nothing more then a power grab move for the increasingly power hungry government and therefore will not gain any support from our side Hon. Micheal Fleck Leader of the Democratic Party of Hutori Member of Parliament |
