Title: The "We Need More Privies In Our Council" Act
Post by: Miestră Schivă, UrN on January 18, 2024, 07:11:04 PM
Quote from: Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB on January 09, 2024, 11:24:07 AMEnlarging the Sabor with some ex-officio offices might be a good idea also, though I do believe that permanent membership should continue to be merit based.

Right. Check this out

BE IT ENACTED that El Lexhatx L.7, which currently reads:

Quote7. Among the first acts of his reign the King shall name a Privy Council (Sabôr, in Talossan) consisting of several Privy Councillors (called Guaïrs in Talossan) with whom he shall consult whenever possible on all matters of grave importance to the Kingdom, and whose duty shall be to offer the King the benefit of their individual and collective wisdom and advice. The King shall take care to include in this council those citizens with the longest and deepest connections to the ongoing historical life of the Kingdom, in particular those who are personally familiar with the homeland itself. Should at any time they deem it wise or necessary to do so, Privy Councillors, acting alone or in concert with fellow councillors, may publicly issue a "Letter to the King" about any matter of grave importance to the Kingdom. The Privy Councillors shall serve at the pleasure of the King. Privy Councillors shall be entitled to add the honorific initials "GST" to their signatures, for "Guaïr del Sabôr Talossán."

shall be amended with the addition of the following paragraph:

QuoteThe Seneschál and the Senior Justice of the Cort pü Inalt shall be Guaïrs ex officio.

You will note that the current Senior Justice suggested a much longer list of ex-officio members, but considering there are only 2 merit-based members currently, I think that this suffices in the short term.

I like the longer list suggested by the Dama but can see some merit with being conservative on the numbers.
I do think we should also encourage the King to make just a few more more merit-based appointments.

Can I co-sponsor this once the new MC list is announced?

@Miestră Schivă, UrN I would love to co-sponsor this. Would be a good demonstration of bipartisanship too.

Once the wait is over I look forward to the potential of co-sponsoring, Miestra.

After nearly ten days I wanted to check if there is any news on amendments, @Miestră Schivă, UrN ?

@Miestră Schivă, UrN Has this bill been moved to CRL yet? As the main sponsor would you mind me moving it now?
