61RZ08 - The Seneschal Appointment Anytime Amendment

WHEREAS the Organic Law currently seems ambiguous as to how to replace the Seneschal between Cosa elections in a situation where there is no Distain;

AND WHEREAS the following was a section of 60RZ21, the Fixed Terms amendment which was rejected in referendum;

AND WHEREAS it is a good and proper reform which deserves reconsideration in its own right

BE IT ENACTED by the King, Cosa and Senäts in Ziu assembled that Article VI, Section 2, of the Organic Law which reads:

The Seneschal shall be selected by each newly elected Cosâ. When the King is presented with a petition to appoint a Seneschal, signed by MCs who together hold a majority of seats in the Cosâ as then constituted, the person named in the petition shall be appointed by the King to be the Seneschal. Should no such petition be made by the first day of the first Clark, that Clark shall include a Ranked Choice Vote to select the Seneschal. Each party holding seats in the Cosa may nominate one candidate for this election.

is amended to read:

The Seneschal shall be selected by the Cosă, including a mandatory selection by each newly elected Cosă. Whenever the King is presented with a petition to appoint a Seneschal, signed by MCs who together hold a majority of seats in the Cosă as then constituted, the person named in the petition shall be appointed by the King to be the Seneschal. Should no such petition be made by the first day of the first Clark, that Clark shall include a Ranked Choice Vote to select the Seneschal. Each party holding seats in the Cosă may nominate one candidate for this election.
