Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on Yesterday at 05:43:16 PMI just remembered that this is also the clause that the Proclamation Crisis was about - when the former King John vetoed a quite anodyne amendment just to fire a "warning shot" and emphasise that he had final say over all OrgLaw amendments - which started the process of removing that power. So there's also the sentimental value.

The Cort case is an interesting artefact.

Happiest of birthdays My King!

I just remembered that this is also the clause that the Proclamation Crisis was about - when the former King John vetoed a quite anodyne amendment just to fire a "warning shot" and emphasise that he had final say over all OrgLaw amendments - which started the process of removing that power. So there's also the sentimental value.

Not to my knowledge. If anything keeping several spelling variants might be unnecessarily confusing to non-Ladintschen, especially if the spelling in question has been incorrect for more than 10 years.

Is there any merit in retaining the outdated spelling in words like this, that are in use and have been around for a long time?

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 02:46:49 PMWell, I was just using the existing spelling, but okay.  Easy enough to change.

A lot of legislation still has outdated or in some cases plain wrong spellings, and I think it's high time we phase them out. I might prepare a separate bill to that effect for the March Clark, but that's all tangential to this bill.

Well, I was just using the existing spelling, but okay.  Easy enough to change.

This is admittedly nitpicking, but the proper Talossan spelling is "Cunstaval", without an accent. I say that now so I don't have to when this gets moved into the CRL.

Whereases TBD, (additional changes in El Lex would be needed)

Therefore, be it resolved, that the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa amends the Organic Law as follows:

Article VII, Section 4 which currently reads as:

QuoteThe Secretary of State shall be appointed and dismissed as specified by law, and he or she shall supervise, and shall organise the legislative business of the Ziu. He or she shall do this by administering a public venue for the inspection of legislative proposals before they become bills, "The Hopper" and by compiling and publishing the monthly legislative journal, "The Clark". The Secretary of State has the right to appoint deputies. Responsibilities, appointment, and dismissal of deputies shall be governed by law.

Is amended to read as follows:

QuoteThe Secretary of State shall be appointed and dismissed as specified by law, and he or she shall supervise, and shall organise the legislative business of the Ziu. He or she shall do this by administering the first, second, and third readings of legislative proposals. The first reading of this organizational process shall be a public venue for the publication and general inspection of legislative proposals before they become bills, "The Hopper," a second reading of this organizational process shall be conducted for the purpose of greater, more detailed scrutinizing of bills,  and a third reading of this organizational process shall be conducted for the purpose of official consideration (approval or refusal) of legislative proposals. The Secretary of State has the right to appoint deputies. Responsibilities, appointment, and dismissal of deputies shall be governed by law.

Article VII, Section 7 which currently reads as:

QuoteAll bills received by the Secretary of State during one calendar month shall be compiled into a published legislative journal, to be called "The Clark". The Clark shall be compiled prior to the first day of the following month, and shall be published publicly on that day. The Clark shall be made available to all MCs and Senators.

QuoteA bill or bills having passed second reading shall be considered received by the Secretary of State for third reading. The Secretary of State shall publish a legislative journal, to be called "The Clark" for all legislation proposals passing second reading within thirty (30) days of such passage. The Clark shall be made available to all MCs and Senators.

Article VII, Section 8 which currently reads as:

QuoteThe Clark must contain, in every edition, a Vote of Confidence. Each MC may answer this question in his Clark ballot every month, either with a "yes" or a "no." If at the end of any Clark the "no" vote outnumbers the "yes" vote, the King shall dissolve the Cosa and call new elections.

Is amended to read as follows:

QuoteThe Clark must contain, in every edition, a Vote of Confidence. Each MC may answer this question in his Clark ballot, every month, either with a "yes" or a "no." If at the end of any Clark the "no" vote outnumbers the "yes" vote, the King shall dissolve the Cosa and call new elections.
