Parliament Proposal
Resolved by the Confederate Parliament of the Confederacy of Free Nations, that the following article is proposed as a law under the jurisdiction of the Confederacy of Free Nations, enforceable by all of its institutions.
Be it enacted by the Confederacy of Free Nations during the scheduled July general election, in Confederate Parliament assembled, that
Section 1
Constitutional Amendments
ss.1.
Sections I, II, VI, and VII of Article 3 of the Constitution of the Confederacy of Free Nations shall be replaced with the following:
“I. A Member of Parliament (MP) is an individual responsible for generating proposals and representing the general public within the Confederacy. In order to serve as an MP, one must be a citizen of the Confederacy and be elected to the post. Members of Parliament shall be elected at the same time as the Cabinet (unless a special election is called due to a Member’s resignation/prolonged absence of 14 days from the chamber), and in the same manner as Supreme Court Justices."
"II. The Speaker is established as the leader of the Parliament. Their role is to maintain order and organisation within Parliament as well as preserving Parliamentary authority. The Speaker is tasked with organising voting in regard to legislation and other matters as Parliament. The Speaker is elected every 2 months by Parliament, but does not have to be a Member of Parliament."
"VI. The Parliament's check on the power of the Cabinet lies in its ability to remove Cabinet members. A motion of impeachment for the removal of a Cabinet member is required to be introduced to the Parliament, voted on for a period of one week, and attain at least a 60% endorsement rating to be successful. Any minister in the process of undergoing impeachment shall not be allowed to vote within the legislature on matters pertaining to his or her impeachment."
"VII. There is to be no limit on the number of MPs or pieces of legislature on the floor at one time, though there shall be at minimum one Member of Parliament seat for every ten citizens of the Confederacy at the time of the last general election. The Parliament may expand its number of members via referendum.”
