~Self locked on purpose~
Alright, I said early last week when elected I'd make a detailed description of a governement, should I be elected, and so here it is. This is very general and can be updated later if some parts are found unsatisfactory.
1. President How many: 1 Length of term: 4 months (I'll take a shortened first term that will be three months and will end April 30th to make the system flow better) How many times can run: 2 General abilities and powers: Figurehead, overseer
The president will be the spokesperson and figurehead of the government, but will not have as much power as say the senators. The president will only get involved in disputes if it is absolutely necessary, such as a split senate, or major clan wars to intervene. The president, much like the US' president will also accept 'laws' into place that have been placed by the senate. The President will also select the Vice-President and the cabinet positions, these positions can be changed by the next president to be elected. When the President's term is up, the group will be passed onto the next President.
2. Vice-President How many: 1 Length of term: 4 months How many times can run: As many times as selected by the president General abilities: When president is online, Organizes the Senate and Representatives. When president is offline, assumes powers of the president as well.
The Vice-President will be the back-up to the president if he/she is offline and will be selected by the president as their running partner. The Vice-President will also organize the Senate when necessary, such as voting on new laws, and organizing the Representatives when they vote on certain issues. Should the Senate not agree with the Vice-President's decisions or behavior they can impeach him but the Judges will select a new Vice-President.
3. The Judges How many: 5 Length of term: 5 months How many times can run: indefinite General abilities: Rules on laws, general overseers in clan disputes and issues in the government
The judges will be elected every 5 months. They serve longer terms than the president or senators to ensure that the entire government is not replaced in a month. The judges will oversee most issues between clans or issues within the government, save for the most extreme in which the president will get involved. Should the senate impeach the Vice-President, the judges will collaberate and select a new one to ensure neither the senate, nor judges gains too much power. Judges will also rule whether or not a law passed by the Senate overstates the government's bounds. Judges will also handle all claims of corruption, and will be able to impeach anyone who is found, and agreed to be, corrupted and with evidence.
4. Cabinet How many: 8 Length of term: 4 months How many times can run: As many as selected by the president General abilities: Advises the president, vice-president, judges, and senate on issues.
The cabinets main purpose is to keep the other branches of the government informed on key issues. They are also selected by the president, but should they be unsatisfactory, the judges can impeach any or all of them and the senate will select new ones.
5. The Senate How many: 17 Length of terms: 3 months How many times can run: Indefinite General abilites: Law making branch of the government
The senate will vote on issues proposed by the representatives and brought forth by the Vice-President. They will hear different sides of the case from the cabinet and vote on the issues. Should They find the Vice-President unsatisfactory, they may impeach him. If the judges impeach the cabinet, the Senate will select the replacements. The senate does not have to be from any set clan and a clan can have as many senators in as they are voted for. Ex. 5 RAT senators, 4 UAF, so on and so forth. If a Senator is from WIJ, than WIJ can still have a representitive in the Representitives. The senate can vote on inviting clans into the government and giving them a representative, while also having the power to vote clans out.
6. The Representatives How many: Indefinite Length of terms: As long as the representing clan wants their representitive in the government. How many times can they run: As many times as the representing clan wants them to run General abilites: Voice of the clans
The representatives will be composed of 1 person from each invited clan, and will lobby for their clans problems to be acknowledged by the government. They are untouchable by the rest of the government meaning they cannot be impeached or removed unless the clan they are representing feels they are no longer suiting. They will vote on issues to be proposed to the Senate to be voted on. There is no set way of a clan choosing its representatives, and each clan has the freedom to pick a way they find best, including a clan leader can be their own clan's representative. |
