WHEREAS I attempted a massive reform of the Organic Law and it failed AND
WHEREAS people asked me to divide it in parts because one or two parts were controversial and others were fine AND
WHEREAS the Organic law has a few quirks, no longer appropriate parts and typos such a weird t and a reference to an article which was renumbered since AND
WHEREAS each Cosa member is supposed to represent an actual geographical location but in practice we don't do that
THEREFORE the ziu resolves to:
Amend the Organic law as follows:
Article VIII: Composition of the Cosâ
The former Section 5 which reads:
Each MC will represent, for ceremonial purposes, a particular geographical "constituency." The exact procedure will be determined by law.
It replaced by:
Each MC may represent, for ceremonial purposes, a particular geographical "constituency." The exact procedure will be determined by law.
Article IX: The Secretary of State, the Hopper, and the Clark
Section 5 is corrected to that the 6th word (the single letter t) is removed from the text.
Section 13 which currently reads:
Notwithstanding Sections 2 and 5 of this Article, the Ziu may make laws regulating the number of bills a Member of the Cosâ or a Senator may submit for one Clark without the need to amend the Organic Law.
Is replaced by:
Notwithstanding Sections 2 and 6 of this Article, the Ziu may make laws regulating the number of bills a Member of the Cosâ or a Senator may submit for one Clark without the need to amend the Organic Law.
Article XIII: Duration of the Cosâ and the Government
Section 1 which currently reads:
Duration of the Cosâ. The Cosâ convenes two weeks after general elections, on the first day of the month, to coincide with the publication of the first Clark. Its term is roughly six months, each month coinciding with a Clark. During its last month the King shall issue a Writ of Dissolution ending its term. At the time the Cosâ is dissolved, all its members shall resign, but any Members holding positions in the Government may remain in those positions till the outcome of the election is resolved.
