Whereas, it has come to the attention of learned officials that a certain section of Title D may need clarification, and
Whereas, when it concerns the ability of the Seneschal do any and all cabinet jobs it may indeed be prudent.
Therefore, be it enacted by the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa, that El Lexhatx Title D 2.1 which currently reads as:
QuoteD2.1. The Seneschal (in english, Prime Minister), heading the Prüma Ministrà (in english, Prime Ministry), is responsible for the overall operation and performance of the government, and shall perform all duties assigned to his office by Organic Law. All other Cabinet officers are appointed by the Seneschal, serve at his pleasure, are responsible to him, and derive their powers from him. Accordingly, anything that any Minister can do (officially), the Seneschal may (if he desires) do himself.
is amended to read as follows:
Quote2.1. The Seneschal (in english, Prime Minister), heading the Prüma Ministrà (in english, Prime Ministry), is responsible for the overall operation and performance of the government, and shall perform all duties assigned to his office by Organic Law. All other Cabinet officers are appointed by the Seneschal, serve at his pleasure, are responsible to him, and derive their powers from him. The Seneschal may perform any official act on behalf of his ministers. The Seneschal may also at any time designate a deputy minister to be Acting Minister, until the Seneschal or the Minister for whom they are acting publicly declare otherwise, or the Minister for whom they are acting is dismissed.

I would probably replace the old weirdly-worded bit with a broad provision that the Seneschal may perform any official act on behalf of their ministers; and the latter new part with a new, explicit provision that the Seneschal may at any time name a Deputy Minister to be Acting Minister, until the Seneschal or the absentee Minister publicly declare otherwise, or the absentee Minister is dismissed. (The ability of the Seneschal to appoint a Deputy Minister would be implied by the first bit anyway.)

@Sir Lüc I have edited just so.
Would you be interested in co-sponsoring again?
I am growing accustomed to co-sponsoring with you.
There's a small thing that needs fixing, D.2.1 doesn't read as it currently stands on the bill, that's only the final sentence. Otherwise I'd say this version works, sign me up.

Thanks Lüc, edited and add you as a co-sponsor.
Thanks again
@Sir Lüc When you are able, this final bill is ready to be moved to the CRL.
Moved as requested.
Y'all may be surprised but...I approve.
@Sir Lüc and
@Ian Plätschisch I think the SoS may need for one or both of you to explicitly indicate your approval. Sorry Luc, I know you are a co-sponsor but I wanted to be safe.
This bill cannot be clarked until it has the approval of the CRL.
Approved.
For consistency, either "The Seneschal may perform any official act on behalf of their ministers" should be changed to "The Seneschal may perform any official act on behalf of his ministers", or all of the "he"s and "him"s in the rest of the section should be changed.

Thanks Ian. Change made.
CLarked as RZ17.
