The Executive Power Reform Amendment

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

The Executive Power Reform 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

Prime 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

Prime 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.

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

I obviously need to make this an act and amendment to address the downstream effects on el Lexhatx, but this is the start.

[King Txec]

This bill will change every PD that has already been signed. I'd suggest grandfathering it in so that only new PDs are affected.

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

I don't think it would have that effect? But you're right that it's in question and the ambiguity is unnecessary. I will add a clause to grandfather in previous PDs.

[Mximo Malt]

I never knew you had that much power! This is literally the first time I've ever heard of this!
