Section 1
Procedure
ss.1. Article 3, Section I of the Constitution shall be modified to read:
"A Member of Parliament, to be known as an MP, is an individual eligible to generate proposals and to represent the general public within the Confederacy. To qualify for the role of MP, one must have a listed WA nation, apply for citizenship with the Minister of Internal Affairs, wait 3 days for background checks, and then be accepted into the citizenry."
ss.2. Article 4, Section IV of the Constitution shall be modified to read:
"The Minister of Internal Affairs has the primary duty of managing citizenship, and maintaining Cabinet-Parliament relations. Citizenship itself may only be granted to nations by the MoIA after a 3 day waiting period and it is the MoIA's duty to uphold this waiting period. The Minister of Internal Affairs has the responsibility of managing the Citizenship Office, and handling citizenship for the entire region. At any point the Chancellor may ask to pull citizenship records, but the Internal Affairs Minister has the right to refuse the Chancellor access to the citizenship office. Appearance, communication and poll rights are given to the Minister of Internal Affairs."
ss.3. Article 8, Section IV of the Constitution shall be modified to read:
"In order to vote, a nation must be a registered citizen, with no suspension of citizenship during the election time. Nations with a processing citizenship may vote after their citizenship is registered after the 3 day wait, so long as their application was before the election period."
