Information:

Founded in March of 2007, A World Power was once one of the largest regions in Nationstates, and is currently re-building to its former glory! We as a region hold no specific political ideology, but nations organise themselves into Great Houses of likeminded individuals. The leaders of the three largest Houses form a Triumvirate which is responsible for leading the region. We believe in open elections for all citizens of our region and operate a one of the major defender forces in the game, which protects regions across Nationstates from invasion.

Repeal Ministerial Powers Bill

Repeal Ministerial Powers Bill

Purpose: This bill will repeal the legislation "Ministerial Powers Act" as passed by the regional Senate on 4th May 2008.

We acknowledge the obstacle caused by the enforcement of the Ministerial Powers Act that has resulted in a sluggish and slow legislative system. In order to free up our important legislative body to be far more efficient and active this repeal enables all members of the Senate to present bills to the Senate as and when they are ready.

Whilst approving of the intentions in ensuring elected officials hold increased power our experiences have taught us that this legislation was unable to provide for such without derisory effects on the system as a whole. We therefore repeal the quoted law in search of a better solution and in the interests of effective government.


Introduction: I Ranholn, Two Tearm Senator for the South, Chariman and founding Member of the Independent People Party, Member of Committe for Commerce and Development, and Author of the Laws Creating Political Parties and Regions of the North and South. I have seen the structure that has come about for the Senate and see a need for change, I feel this will better allow the Elected Members of this body to represent those whom have given there trust and support to Represent. What I refear to are The Powers of Minister and Elected Senator.


Body:

Article One:
Minsters as of right now for all purposes those that have right to be part of the Senate have equal power and Authority as The Elected Senators.

~Subsection A: The Elected Senators, As I am refearing to them, are Elected with the support and trust of the people of this region. They are the voice and will of the people.
~Subsection B: The Minsters who are part of the senate are chosen for the ability to handle the department they are head of. They are appointed and are not holding the same trust or charge of the people of this region.

Article Two:
With what Was Stated in Article One, It seems that The Minsters are not under the same rights of the Senate but are givin the same privliges and powers as those with the support of the People of this region. To Make sure the will of the people is truly shown Changes will be made.

~Subsection A: With this Stated The Ministers will stripped of there rights to make general Porposals for laws and changes to laws and stipulations for this Region.

~Subsection B: With the Stated Subsection of Article Two A They will how ever be granted the rights to Make proposals that are directly related to there Departments.
SubLine 1: The Relevence a Proposal has to a department may be challanged by an Elected Senator or a Minister, from with a vote on the relevence will be had in witch only Elected Members can take part.
Subpoint a: If the Majority Votes that it is Revelent it will be maintained and put forth for general discusion and vote.
Subpoint b: IF the majority vote that it is not revelent it will be stripped and removed from the senate floor, the Minster may submit it by way of the Senator that Represents them.
Subpoint c: If there is a Tie the Founder will cast the Deciding vote, he will not vote otherwise.
Subline 2: Minister Proposed Proposals that are not challanged for the releventce to there Department shall go forth as a Traditional Proposal.

Seems o.k,

Are we sure a amendment cutting most of it out wouldn't be better than a blunt repeal?
