Assembly of Benito, 48th Cosa

[Lüc da Schir]

Welcome to the chamber of the Assembly of Benito! We're using the Chancellery's old one but it sure still looks new and fresh. The members of the Assembly (MAs) for this term are:

MA	Party	Seats
Iason Bitxichë Taiwos, Maestro	Liberal Congress	3
Lüc da Schir, Arvitieir Prima	Moderate Radicals	2
Erschéveþ da Schir	Moderate Radicals	2

[Lüc da Schir]

I am hereby informing the Assembly that a bill, The Vicere Removal Amendment, was introduced into the Senate on December 2nd and was passed in full on December 20th. It now falls to the Assembly to vote on it in order for the bill to be passed into law. The full text of the bill can be found below.

The question therefore is that the Vicere Removal Amendment be passed into law. Vote Aye or No; the vote shall terminate on Sunday December 27th, or as soon as all members have cast their vote.

The Vicere Removal Amendment

WHEREAS th constitution presently has no provision for the removal of a Vicere and
WHEREAS the Organic Law states that a provincial constitution may not limit the authority of the Cunstuval (Vicere) or grant powers less extensive than those granted to the King on the National level and
WHEREAS the King can be removed according to Organic Law and
WHEREAS a subsequent removal provision for the Vicere should further the interests of the province while meeting all organic requirements so

THEREFORE, Section II Article 16 of the Constitutiob of Benito which presently reads:

Art. 16. A veto by the Viceré may be overridden by a 3/5 majority vote of the Provincial Chancellery.

Shall be amended to read:

A veto by the Vicere may be overridden by. 3/5 majority vote of the Provincial Chancellery. Further, in dire circumstances where a Vicere is deemed incompetent or incapacitated by a qualified medical authority, convicted of a violation of the Organic Law, or of a crime of bribery, treason, or other high crimes, the Vicere may be removed by the Legislative Chancellery if the Vicere is not first removed by the King within 45 days of the date of conviction or adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction or certification by a qualified medical provider. The removal shall be initiated by a 3/5 vote of the assembly and the consent of the provincial senate and placed before a referendum of the province's citizens. A 2/3 majority of citizens voting in the referendum is necessary to remove the Vicere from office. Upon certification of the results the office shall be considered vacant and the King shall appoint another individual as replacement in accordance with applicable law.

[Iason Bitxichë Taiwos]

Aye.

[Lüc da Schir]

Aye

[Istefan Perþonest]

Sure, let's put in an aye.

[Lüc da Schir]

I guess the deadline has passed, so the Ayes have it and the Vicere Removal Amendment is hereby passed unto law.

[Lüc da Schir]

And since the Arvitieir should dissolve the Assembly at the same time as the Cosa is dissolved but the King won't do so, seeing that we have no further business to discuss, I hereby dissolve the Assembly of Benito and call for new elections to be conducted by the federal Chancery. Which probably means that the Senate is now in recess as well.
