Quote from: Carlüs Éovart Vilaçafat on Yesterday at 08:23:42 AMI don't see how Article 1.6 of the Maricopa constitution is not a blanket ban, but I'm also no lawyer.

With that being said, I have no problem kicking the nomination of @Béneditsch Ardpresteir over to the Cabana to decide.

I thought BenArd was talking about your nomination not getting a vote. Our laws do indeed bar him from being Premieir.

Perhaps after the Living Cosa, I can send the sash to you for your wife to close up?

Actually, it is a train conductors hat.

I think that roles such as A-X, MinImm, MinFin, and MinFor should be a statutory minimum. There may be more, but there are several jobs that should carry the weight of Cabinet level and also be subject to Terps and the like.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on December 19, 2025, 12:52:48 PMLegally, you can't be in the Cabinet and a permanent secretary at the same time.  Actually, just to be safe: this is my official request to His Majesty that they be technically dismissed from service as permanent secretaries.  And I will reinstate them in their positions with no change in terms or scope as soon as it is legally possible.

With thanks for a job well done, we hereby dismiss, at the request of the Seneschal, Danihel Txechescu and þerxh Sant-Enogat from their respective positions as permanent secretaries.

I will post the formal Letters Patent when I am able to, but you may consider all of your appointments as made by me official.

Yes, a vote should have occurred under 59CL1.

Another thing to consider is the Baron asked me because I am a member of the Royal Bar as a practicing attorney and I was also once on the Uppermost Cort and prior to that the Magistrates Cort. I'm still a lawyer, though I don't do much with it, but being legal-minded has served me well on the throne as well as my prior role as Secretary of State.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on December 19, 2025, 12:54:29 PMWell, we're basically being silly since I don't think I ever issued any orders to His Majesty.  The king graciously agreed to be my deputy just in case I became unable to do the job.

If that were to happen (theoretically), who would inherit the Talossan throne?

I'm not going anywhere. If I did have to perform any duties, it would be as Deputy and would not interfere in any way with my reign.

Aren't YOU supposed to be the boss, Your Majesty?

(I don't think your reign is illegitimate, I'm just pointing out the main job of a king. If you don't want any extra power, that's perfectly fine.)

S:reu Malt,

Not long after I ascended the throne, the Baron, who was Clerk of Courts, asked me to step in as Deputy in the event that he could not fulfill the role. I agreed as there was no Organic restriction against a Monarch serving in this capacity.

I think perhaps you are missing the joke here. I really have no role and have not done anything in relation to it since I was appointed. It has nothing to do with extra power or being Head of State. What is ironic is that whomever takes over as Clerk of Courts would technically, in this VERY limited situation, be someone I reported to. It's funny - at least to me.

The East Coast is quite lovely, but all things considered, I don't expect I'll be driving the 3,000 miles at this time. Zoom is far more convenient and we can have people from all over the world join in!

As someone who has been in all three roles that permit advisory opinions, my thoughts are that while it may be seen by some as ad hoc legislating, these types of opinions are definitely useful in certain cases. Not every official has an attorney on staff, and not every official is an attorney. I would support removing so-called advisory opinions but it would be useful if someone like the Chancellor or the Bar or some other lawyerly type was available to provide guidance in cases that don't rise to the high bar of the Cort pu Inalt.

On the other hand, this removal also gives even less work to the already very light work of the Cort. Just some thoughts from one who has been at all levels, including the Cort.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on December 16, 2025, 02:00:27 PMSorry, not a member of el Coletx, but can I just add here that it drives me wild when people (usually US Americans) think titles of knighthood "Sir"/"Dame" is a title which goes with a surname, not a first name. Elton John and Paul McCartney are referred to as "Sir Elton" and "Sir Paul" respectively.

It bugs me too and as the font of all Talossan honours, I always call knights or dames "Sir John" or "Dame Judy."
