42RZ24 - The "Comme Ci, Comme Ça" Amendment

WHEREAS Section 5 of Article XIII of the Organic Law currently specifies that a Vote of Confidence be conducted in the Cosa during each and every Clark, and

WHEREAS, as specified by the said Section of Organic Law, the only organic and legal effect of a Vote of Confidence is to determine upon the continuation of a Cosa or, alternately, upon the dissolution thereof, requiring an immediate General Election in order to establish the composition of the subsequent Cosa and to fill those Senate seats whose terms expire upon the conclusion of the current Cosa, and

WHEREAS such dissolution and election happens automatically after the final Clark of a Cosa, regardless of the results of the Vote of Confidence, and

WHEREAS it is utterly pointless to hold a vote of confidence which, no matter which way the vote goes, will not change one whit (nor even a microwhit) what will happen at the end of the current Clark, and

WHEREAS at the time of the drafting of this bill, one of our bravest Cosa members is covertly embedded in French-mumbling Canada, busily gathering evidence to expose the horrors of that nation to the world, including its inhuman neglect and treatment of our national mammal, the proud and noble squirrel, so why not honour her courage and dedication and her intrepid mission by tossing some silly French phrase into our legislation?, and

WHEREAS, as silly French phrases go, comme ci, comme ça is pretty good, and

WHEREAS I think that the aforesaid silly French phrase means "like this, like that" as in "it doesn't really matter; both ways end up the same" (but then, I could be wrong, because well, it's French, so really, does anyone actually understand it?), now

THEREFORE the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa does hereby recommend to the people in referendum the following resolution, that the wisdom of the electorate may guide and advise His Majesty the King upon the question whether to promulgate a proposed amendment to Organic Law, viz.:

RESOLVED, that the text in Article XIII, Section 5 of the Organic Law of the Kingdom of Talossa currently reading "The Clark must contain, in every edition, a Vote of Confidence" be modified to become "Every edition of the Clark must contain a Vote of Confidence, except the final Clark of a Cosa in which a month of recess has taken place during the term, which shall not contain such a Vote".
