Article II - Executive Branch
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Section I: The head of the Executive Branch shall be recognized as the Governor of the State of Gotham. The Governor shall serve his/her term alongside a Lieutenant Governor. The Governor and Lieutenant Governor shall serve a term of four (4) months. No one shall be allowed to serve more than two (2) terms. Should the Governor be succeeded mid-term, the Governor’s term shall not count towards the limit. Should the Governor resign or be otherwise removed within two (2) months of taking office, then the term will not count towards the limit.
Section II: The Governor may issue, revoke, and edit executive orders and memorandums, carrying the full force of law, with reason plausible, directed towards officers, departments, agencies, and other entities of the Executive Branch of Gotham. Congress shall retain the ability to nullify an executive order or memorandum, or nullify section(s) thereof, through a supermajority (2/3) vote of both present chambers with plausible reasoning; so shall the Supreme Court of Firestone, through a supermajority (2/3) vote, with plausible reasoning and justification made public information.
Section III: The Governor shall be Commander in Chief of the Gotham National Guard and shall be able to exercise full control over the deployment of the National Guard in the event of riots, civil unrest, ######### attacks, or in the event of a State of Emergency.
Section IV: The Governor of the State of Firestone has the authority to appoint a new Lieutenant Governor should the previous Lieutenant be impeached or resign. The Lieutenant Governor shall become the Governor should the previous Governor resign or be otherwise removed from office.
Section V: The Governor and Lieutenant Governor shall be obligated to take the following oath that will be administered by the Chief Court Justice: “I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the State of Gotham against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter.”
Section VI: The Governor has three (3) days upon the passage of Congress of a bill, etc. to give his approval or disapproval on said legislation. Should the Governor approve of the legislation, the Governor shall sign the legislation, and it shall become law; whereas should the Governor disapprove of the legislation, the Governor must refuse to sign the legislation, and instead veto it, where it may only become law should both present chambers of Congress vote by a supermajority (2/3) to override the veto. Should the Governor not sign or veto a bill, etc. within three (3) days upon its passage of Congress, the said piece of legislation shall become law automatically. The Governor's approval or disapproval of a Resolution or Amendment to the Constitution and/or Bill of Rights shall not affect its passage: they shall go into effect immediately upon their respective passage of Congress.
Section VII: The Governor has the authority to appoint cabinet members and ministers, judges and other department officials with the consent of the simple majority of the present Senate. The Governor shall have the right to dismiss any cabinet member or minister, department official, or any employee under the Executive Branch of Firestone for reasoning deemed plausible by the Governor.
Section VIII: The Founder(s) and developer(s) of the State of Gotham shall carry no legitimate authority or power to make general decisions nor interfere in the political or legal matters of the State of Gotham, unless they hold another position that legally grants them the authority to do so.
Section IX: The Governor shall be required to address the State of Gotham public twice every two months. The Governor shall be required to describe the condition of the State of Gotham and its progress including the status of the Cabinet, Congress, Judicial Branch, and Executive Branch. |
