Voting Closes - 55th Cosa 1st Clark

Voting Opens - 55th Cosa 1st Clark

A reminder from the Chancery to issue a new Call for Bills for the 1st Clark.

I'm frustrated! It has been 54 days since the king has logged into Witt. Numerous emails have gone unanswered. Countless nominations have not been confirmed. When is enough going to be enough? I like King John personally. I spent a delightful evening with him and Hooligan a few years back. I know at least one person who called him recently and all seems to be fine with him personally. When will we demand our king come and do his duty?

This topic has been moved to Wittenberg.

https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=508.0

It is with pleasure that as per El.Lex C.1.2.1, I hereby appoint as Royal Data Clerk @Martì-Páir Furxhéir.

The new Royal Data Clerk will take office immediately and will begin establishing accessible backups to two members of the Cort pü Inalt as required under law.

Signed under the seal of the Chancery, this 21st day of September, 2020.


Dr. Txec dal Nordselvă,
Secretary of State

So, with our most recent prospective citizen, I started looking into immigration law and there are some serious problems. First, El. Lex. literally references a portion of the Organic Law that does not exist.

QuoteTo wit: E.14. An individual whose citizenship has been terminated solely by effect of Article XVIII, Section 10 of the Organic Law may apply to the Chancery for reinstatement of citizenship by providing the contact information required by section E.2. (47RZ46)

(emphasis mine).

There is no Article XVIII Section 10. I presume this was an article under the old Organic Law but since I can neither find it nor is that section even in force, what follows in El.Lex. not only makes no sense but it is also most likely unenforceable.

I would be happy to work on a revision to this portion of the law if I had a way of seeing what was being referenced in Article XVIII. Until then, some of our immigration law is murky and as it stands, I can't act legally on this portion as Secretary of State.

Note: it also doesn't help that 47RZ46 isn't even in the Wiki so I had to dig through the database to find it.

Does anyone remember what it was that @C. M. Siervicül  was trying to fix with this law?

Greetings newly seated members of the Cosa for the 55th Cosa.

According to my records, this is a list of all the current MC's and the number of seats granted:

FreeDems

@Miestră Schivă 17 seats

LCC

@Breneir Itravilatx  19
@C. M. Siervicül 18

@Txosuè Éiric Rôibeardescù 18

Below is the applicable section of the Organic Law pertaining to the election of the Seneschal.

Quote
Organic Law Article VI
Section 5 The election of a Seneschál shall be the sole and exclusive business of the first Clark of every newly seated Ziu, but neither a member of the Senäts nor the King may vote on the matter. The Senäts may undertake during such Clark any of their business for which the consent of the Cosâ or the King be not requisite. (54RZ23)

The method of election of a Seneschál shall be Ranked Choice Voting. Each member of the Cosâ shall have as many votes in the election as the seats which he hold in the Cosâ, but shall cast his votes as one bloc and have no divided conscience. The candidates for each such election shall be only the recognized and commonly known leader of each political party which shall have earned representation in the Cosâ at the most recent general election. (54RZ23)

No member of the Cosâ may abstain in the election of a Seneschál, and shall rank on his ballot at least two distinct preferences, which itself shall be made public. (54RZ23)

Whichever candidate shall have earned a majority of the votes in his election, as according to the method of Ranked Choice Voting, shall be appointed subsequently and forthwith by the King to serve as Seneschál, and the results of the election shall be published at large in the Clark. (54RZ23)

Starting on September 1 and running until September 21 at 7:30 PM TST, you will be able to cast your votes. Only members of the Cosa may vote on this. There will be no Vote of Confidence. Further instructions will be posted soon.

Thanks,



Dr. Txec dal Nordselvă,
Secretary of State
