Given the SoS cannot directly give himself a seat in the Ziu, and given the traditionally blurred exec/legis lines in constitutional monarchies etc...I don't see an issue.

Executive in the sense of running the election? In what other way? Producing the Clark? That's not an executive action.

The US does not have a parliamentary system of government.
The Home Secretary of the United Kingdom is also an MP; most of the Cabinet is, except where they are Lords (eg members of Parliament anyway).

If the SoS could Clark the above revision...

WHEREAS, at present, Gloria Estefan is Talossa's National Entertainer (33RZ6); and
WHEREAS Gloria Estefan is Cuban-Floridian, and even the most creative geographer would not suggest this fell within the GTA; and
WHEREAS Al Jarreau is from Maricopa, and could easily be the scat singer in any prospectuve Talossan jazz quartet; and
WHEREAS Charlotte Rae is from Milwaukee, is skilled in singing, dancing and acting, and was involved in two of the best shows the world has yet produced; and
WHEREAS, even if you can't place her name, a quick use of Google will bring a flood of childhood memories back to you, including antics with Gary Coleman and Molly Ringwald; and
WHEREAS it is better for a Talossan to present entertainment to Talossans and Talossan entertainment to the world; and
WHEREAS it is also good to hold on to tradition; and
WHEREAS we all appreciate Diff'rent Strokes;
The Ziu hereby resolves that:
1) Al Jarreau be adopted as the National Entertainer of Talossa, replacing Gloria Estefan.
2) Gloria Estefan and Charlotte Rae be created Extraordinary Guest Stars of Talossan Entertainment, a purely honourary title for those fantastic entertainers without a personal link to Talossa.

Al Jarreau may be an appropriate replacement. Thankyou for the frankly terrifying research Cresti =D
I'll look into revising a few bits tomorrow. Thanks for the renewed debate!

Hooly, it's called cultural annexation, whereby one ignores the precise details and goes for the sound of the thing *grin*. Every gret empire has proven adept at it...
I will put some thought into this, though I honestly don't see the necessity to create "National Cestour Entertainer" as a role when my suggestion is that there should be a special order of merit for Cestrous we find marvellously entertaining. That is to say - is her status as a non-Madison piece of culture so important that she needs to retain roughly the same title as before (I do welcome a debate on this)?

Inasmuch as it is roughly 10 days since hoppering, when it hits the precise 10 day mark, I request the SoS read this message and stick this on the next Clark!

2) Gloria Estefan be created an Extraordinary Guest Star of Talossan Entertainment, a purely honourary title for those entertainers from outside Milwaukee who are recognized as especially noteworthy within Talossan history.
3) A third order of entertainment merit be created for Milwaukeeans who have not attained National Entertainer status, the Fellowship of Amusement & Recreation of Talossa (FART). Steve Miller and Jane Kaczmareck will be the first members of this order, and may use the post-nominals FART from hereonin.

Jane Kaczmarek was my other thought.
But if DVDs of Diff'rent Strokes and Facts of Life won't satisfy you, what will?
We're not going to be inviting folk to come and entertain us at TalossaFest, not for some time anyway (except maybe Heather Graham - worth a try), so the idea of "presently active" becomes far less important.

I would ask the SoS to put this Bill on the next Clark, as the above is the final draft.

Charlotte Rae was in Diff'rent Strokes and Facts of Life, for the curious.
