I hereby propose this RESOLUTION for consideration in the General Assembly.

WHEREAS the aforementioned amendment was ratified by the People of the Kingdom of Talossa in a referendum with 73 për, 27 contrâ and 25 austenéu votes; and
WHEREAS the result of the vote on the referendum was certified on the 19th of March; and
WHEREAS His Majesty John, King of Talossa, on the 5th of April - 17 days after the result of the referendum was certified - announced that he was «at this time neither proclaiming nor declaring my refusal to proclaim the Amendment» asking for a new discussion in a closed group to «engage in a more careful and thoughtful conversation» on the subject affirming that he was concerned «about some aspects of it doing possibly irreparable harm to the nation» and «with the well-being of Talossa»; and
WHEREAS the Cort Pü Inalt in re "Petition for Declarative Relief - Application of 47RZ28", decided on the 25th of November 2015/XXXVI, argumented that «the King may pass an amendment into law (passively or actively) or may refuse to do so» and «the Organic Law empowers the King to refuse to proclaim an amendment»; and
WHEREAS the King by «neither proclaiming nor declaring [his] refusal to proclaim the Amendment» is de facto acting by the assumption that the Crown has a previoulsy unheard power of indefinitely stalling an amendment approved by the Ziu and ratified by the People by expressing his refusal to proclaim or refuse to proclaim it; and
WHEREAS this course of action taken by the King affirms a temporal precariousness of the assumption of passive proclamation; and
WHEREAS the purpose of the aforementioned amendment is to limit the King's powers of discretion in proclaiming or refusing to proclaim an amendment to the Organic Law; and
WHEREAS the King is consciously stalling the will of the People of the Kingdom to limit his powers and give certainty to the amendment process;
THEREFORE the General Assembly of the Free Province of Fiôvâ condemns the action of the King of Talossa as a serious and disrespectful outrage to the democratically and organically expressed will of the People of the Kingdom; and commits the Government of the Province to petition the Cort Pü Inalt to question the organic status of the King's action to explicitly neither proclaim nor refuse to proclaim the amendment.
