Legislative Chancellery

[Deleted]

It has just come to my attention that our Cnstitution lacks provision for royal assent for a law to take effect. Statutory law after the constitution partially addresses the matter, but I think we should amend the constitution to make sure we are fully organic.

Thoughts?

WHEREAS we want to ensure our Constitution affords to us all due protection and

WHEREAS we want to eliminate any ambiguity or misleading language and

WHEREAS we could stand to clean up the wording of how laws are passed in our Province so


THEREFORE, Article 8 of the Benitian Constitution shall be amended as follows:

The Provincial Chancellery shall have power to pass any bill into law by a simple majority vote of its members when in session. Legislative sessions shall run each month or during special sessions convened by the Maestro with at least 72 hours notice given. Upon passage of a bill, it shall be forwarded to the Vicere where it shall be signed into law. The Vicere may veto a bill, but must provide a statement as to his or her reasoning for doing so to the people. Voting sessions shall open at the first hour of the first day of each month except during national General Elections. At the dissolution of the Cosa, the Provincial Chancellery will also be dissolved. Seats in the Provincial Chancellery will be redistributed according to the ballots cast in the General Election by citizens of the Province.

FURTHERMORE, Article 11 of the Benitian Constitution is amended as follows:

Art 11. The Maestro shall be the majority leader in the Provincial Chancellery. He shall have the power to issue provisionalproclamations which have the force of law. These proclamations may be appealed or amended as regular laws. These proclamations shall remain in force for a period not to exceed 30 days. Upon expiration, they may be replaced through the passing of standard legislation by the Chancellery or shall cease to be enforceable upon the first hour of the 30th day. The Maestro shall also have authority to issue executive proclamations which shall carry the force of law once countersigned by the Vicere. These proclamations shall not expire and can be repealed or amended as regular legislation.

LASTLY, Article 13 is hereby added:

Art 13. No Provisional or Executive Proclamation shall run contrary to existing statutory law of either the province or the Kingdom, the Organic Law or the Constitution of Benito. Proclamations which infringe upon individual rights as guaranteed by the Constitution or Organic Law shall be void insofar as they conflict with either or both bodies of law.

For the people of Benito:

Chancellor T.M. Asmourescu

No qualms from my end.
