==Constitutional Court Veto==
<box>
1) It puts an NPC in the situation of being able to raise motions - not a situation we wnat.<br>
2) There is no conceivable reason that this character should have the ability to raise motions. It's not linked to anything the Empire does. The Academy is a Sodality - not an Imperial institution.<br>
3) It strips the kids of valuable roleplay that everyone else playing the game has to do - if you want to get a motion raised - you have to convince a senator.<br>
4) It undermines the power of raising motions - something not even the Throne can do.<br>
5) It makes no fucking sense IC.<br>
6) We're doing it because... kids.</box>
 
Counterpoints:
 
# Yeah, because when raised it directly from the council, it was bounced until it was tied to a empire title. That is currently an NPC.
# It's the Sodality that hopes to train the senators of the future for the best work of the empire.
# So do they. They can't raise a motion without a senator agreeing second to it.
# The conscience can. The chances of the Senate giving this power to anyone else is slim - though I bet the Imperial Orc Affairs title will go for it.
# I disagree.
# I don't disagree.

Revision as of 16:37, 21 August 2015

That the title of Dean of the Academy be created with the power to raise one motion before the Senate each summit, with the Responsibility of raising that motion on behalf of the Academy Student Council.

Proposed by Morrow, seconded by Bastion.

Overview

  • This motion has constitutional implications, because it provides the power to raise a motion in the Senate
  • The motion requires ratification by the Throne, and has no legal basis until then.
  • This motion would create an Imperial title, the Dean of the Academy.
    • The title would be appointed by the Senate, and could be revoked by the Assembly of the Nine or the General Assembly.
    • The Dean could raise a motion, but would still need to find someone to second that motion.
    • The Dean does not have the power to second a motion, to vote or speak in the Senate, or any other powers of a senator.
    • While the title may have the responsibility to raise motions on behalf of the Academy Student Council, as always they may do whatever they wish with the powers granted to them.
    • There is no legal requirement that the title holder belong to the Academy.

Date

  • Spring 379YE
