WHEREAS the issue of the Monarch's political powers has never completely gone away, and even now, years and years and ideas and ideas later, the issue remains; and
WHEREAS this legislature has in the past shown some support for an elected State President to take on some of the Royal Duties; and
WHEREAS some Talossans have shown interest in creating such an office;
THEREFORE the Ziu hereby adopts this non-binding "sense of the Ziu" resolution. If this resolution passes, futher bills & constitutional amendments will be brought forward to allow the following:
1. The Monarch may opt to delegate some or all of his Royal Duties to an elected State President.
2. The Monarch may at any time rescind his actions under paragraph 1 and resume full power.
Once again, this resolution is totally non-binding. It is merely a gauge on how the idea would fare if it came to a vote. The object of this idea is not Ben-bashing or anything, but to explore further ideas to make Talossa a more democratic state.
