The call for bills for the February 2026 Clark (the second of the 62nd Cosă) is now open. You may post a link to a bill's Hopper thread underneath in the usual fashion, provided it has passed the Hopper according to Lex.H.2 and you are entitled to Clark bills.
I will accept for Clarking any such bills (except for any that fall foul of H.2.7) that are presented between now and January 31st 11:59 PM TST, as I will begin assembling the Clark on the European morning of February 1st.
Estimat Secretar d'Estat,
I would like to Clark the following bills:
- The Pseudo-Real Cosă Act (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=4786.0)
- The Broosking Swing Mitigation Amendment (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=4844.0)
Please Clark the Executive Power Reform Amendment, a bill which will limit the Seneschal's ability to make laws by requiring the legislature's eventual agreement.
Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on December 28, 2025, 09:59:15 PMThe Executive Power Reform Act and Amendment
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
QuotePrime 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
QuotePrime 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. All Prime Dictates, excepting only those appropriating monies or with ephemeral effect, shall automatically cease effect after the passage of three months unless affirmed by the Ziu.
FURTHERMORE, this amendment shall not be held to affect any Prime Dictates that preceded its passage.
FURTHERMORE, subsubsections 2.1.1 through 2.1.3 of Title D of el Lexhatx, which currently read
Quote2.1.1. All acts, decisions and policy statements by the Seneschal shall be issued by executive orders, collectively known as Prüms Dideux (in english, Prime Deeds). These can be of two kinds:
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.;
2.1.1.1.4. in all situations where the Legeu Orgänic or Lexhatx explicitly require for it or for the King's countersignature.
2.1.1.2. A Prüm Dirixhaziun (in english, Prime Directive) doesn't met the conditions of Org.VI.4. It's used:
2.1.1.2.1. to declare a month of recess, as provided by Org.VI.8.;
2.1.1.2.2. to issue memorials, congratulatory notices, internal Government organisation decisions and policy statements, executive policy clarifications, and other appropriate and limited governmental matters;
2.1.1.2.3. in all situations where the law provides for the Seneschal to act alone without the King's assent.
2.1.1.3. The Seneschal shall use Prüms Diktats with caution and respect and leave legislation solely for democratic consideration by the whole Ziu except when is deemed necessary an urgent action.
shall be amended to read
Quote2.1.1 The Seneschal may issue executive orders, collectively known as Prüms Dideux.
2.1.1.1 A Prüm Diktat, as provided by Org.VI.4., requires the King's countersignature to become enforceable and has the force of law. It's used to enact or amend statutes, to authorise emergency spending, to remove the Clerk of the Court, or in all situations where the Legeu Orgänic or el Lexhatx explicitly require for it or for the King's countersignature. 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.
Please Clark the Blanking Blank Act, a bill which eliminates a dozen errors in the law and makes it more readable for all.

Alexandreu Davinescu, Senator for Maritiimi-Maxhestic
Please Clark the Relabeling Title H Act, a bill which honestly just fixes a pet peeve of mine.
Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on December 16, 2025, 01:25:43 PMThe Relabeling Title H Act
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.
