WHEREAS currently the Seneschal can simply write any laws they wish by themselves, bounded only by the Organic Law and His Majesty's agreement, and

WHEREAS that's an absurd amount of power for one person to have, and there is insufficient check on this power,

THEREFORE the fourth section of the sixth article of the Organic Law, which currently reads

Prime Dictates (PDs) are public declarations which affect government policy and have the force of law. They take effect upon their countersignature by the King and function as laws for all purposes, with such exceptions and subject to such conditions as the Ziu may enact by statute. Prime Dictates are exempt from all provisions relating unto legislative proposals, but may never be used to amend this Organic Law.

shall be amended to read

Prime Dictates (PDs) are public declarations which affect government policy and have the force of law. They take effect upon their countersignature by the King and function as laws for all purposes, with such exceptions and subject to such conditions as the Ziu may enact by statute.

2.1.1.1. A Prüm Diktat (in english, Prime Dictate), as provided by Org.VI.4., requires the King's countersignature to become enforceable and has the force of law. It's used:

2.1.1.1.1. to enact or amend statutes;

2.1.1.1.2. to authorise emergency spending, as provided in D.2.8.6.;

2.1.1.1.3. to remove the Clerk of the Court, as provided in G.4.9.;

All statutes which are enacted or amended shall remain in effect for three months unless confirmed by the Ziu, at which point they will cease to be in effect.

2.1.1.2 A Prüm Dirixhaziun is used to declare a month of recess, to issue memorials, congratulatory notices, internal Government organisation decisions and policy statements, executive policy clarifications, and other appropriate and limited governmental matters, and in all situations where the law provides for the Seneschal to act alone without the King's assent.

WHEREAS New Citizen Seats are currently limited to a maximum of 7.5% of party seats in the Cosă, and

WHEREAS this value makes it all but impossible to reduce the number of seats in the Cosă, calling to question this express possibility set out in OrgLaw.IV.2.1, and

WHEREAS the current limit of 15 seats for new citizens has never even remotely been reached,

THEREFORE be it resolved that OrgLaw.IV.4.2 is amended to read as follows:

The maximum number of seats that may be assigned to new citizens between general elections shall be 4.5% of the seats apportioned between parties, rounded down to a whole number of seats.

Sir Marcel Tafial (MC-URL)

WHEREAS, in parliamentary democracies, the upper house of the legislature functions as a "house of sober second thought"; and

WHEREAS, this role requires that the Senäts be able to review and approve of bills, but ought not to have the ability to block those with widespread support in the Cosă; and

WHEREAS, this blocking ability ought to remain in place in the case of Organic amendments; then

BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, that Article III, Section 4 of the Organic Law is amended by the addition of the following bolded text:

The Senäts shall have equal powers with the Cosa in respect of all proposed laws, except that bills appropriating revenue or moneys shall not originate in the Senäts, and the Government shall require the confidence of the Cosa only to remain in office. In the event of the Senäts twice rejecting a bill appropriating revenue or moneys which is passed by the Cosa, upon it being passed a third time by the Cosa, it shall not require the consent of the Senäts to be given Royal Assent and take effect. Bills for the imposition or appropriation of fines or other monetary penalties, or for the demand or payment or appropriation of fees for licenses or services, shall not be taken to appropriate revenue or moneys. In the event the Senäts rejects a bill that does not amend this Organic Law, appropriate moneys, or override a Royal Veto, should the same Cosă pass that bill again by a three-fifths majority, it shall not require the consent of the Senäts to be presented for Royal Assent or take effect.

WHEREAS Talossa is not roleplaying, and

WHEREAS therefore, operating under a "D&D Cosă" with more seats than voting citizens is untenable, and

WHEREAS political power ought not be a matter of course that is bought and paid for, but a privilege derived from sufficient popular mandate (or for our newest citizens, a courtesy extended by law),

NOW THEREFORE, be it enacted that the following provision be added to el Lexhatx as subsubsection H.4.1.1:

The total number of party seats is twenty.

FURTHERMORE, according to LegOrg IV.2.1, this change will not take effect until the next election following the passage of a calendar year.

WHEREAS, the British prime minister, Winston Churchill, once stated that "the era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays is coming to its close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences," and

WHEREAS, this quote well-encapsulates humanity's current predicament in relation to anthropogenic climate change, and

WHEREAS, in recent years, 25 nations have experienced their hottest summers ever and the past seven years each have been the hottest ever since the start of record-keeping, and

WHEREAS, leading contributors of atmospheric warming emissions (People's Republic of China, United States of America, and Republic of India) have lagged in fidelity to their commitments based on the Kyoto and Paris Accords.

THEREFORE, may it be resolved that it is the Sense of the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa:

To declare a climate emergency, and

Based on this declaration state its assessment that anthropogenic climate change is an issue touching not just on scientific and political scopes but also on moral and bioethical scopes, and

To encourage Talossans around the world to make meaningful changes in their personal lives to limit their individual and family contributions to climate change, and

To encourage nations which are leading contributors to climate change to meet their previously-agreed treaty-based commitments.

WHEREAS we usually look for the rules about how to get the Ziu going after elections right after an election, and

WHEREAS I think it's just bad labeling that's ultimately my fault, and sorry about that, and let's fix it,

THEREFORE Title H of el Lexhatx shall be relabeled as Title H: Operations of the Ziu.
