Yes, we need a more regular system of choosing the Speaker, so to keep him active or lose his job.

The Speaker has a term of three months, and the election will be held at the same time as the Lord Chancellor elections If the Speaker elections are held at the same time as the Lord Chancellor election, what happens if the Speaker stops being active before then? We have to wait the remainder of the three months to elect a new one?
I don't see why we can't just use the previous method where somebody puts themselves forward whenever we need a Speaker, we vote for them and then move on. Then if they're inactive we can vote to remove them, then start again.
The position is not powerful enough for such a formal process, and doing so merely risks periods of stagnation whilst we faff about with campaigning and voting.

The Lord Chancellor can appoint someone perhaps? The thing is, the previous method didn't work, when Tzipi went inactive as Speaker, no one took interest in declaring a new Speaker is needed.

I think the problem there was a lack of interest in the legislative process rather than a flaw in how it was regulated. Having the position as an appointed one is an improvement as long as the Lord Chancellor is active, although if they aren't the lack of a speaker will be the least of our problems.

I submit the following be added to the current proposal:
- Quote:
-
Should the Speaker fall inactive, resign, or otherwise neglect or reject his duties, an Interim Speaker shall be appointed by the Lord Chancellor to take up the duties for the remainder of the term. The Interim Speaker must be approved by the League of Nations with a simple majority.

That sounds reasonable. I still don't think general elections are the way to go, but if I'm in the minority I will of course concede.

I honestly believe the League of Nations should elect a Speaker, and not the general public. But that's my opinion of course.

Considering that the League of Nations is the general public and I believe it to be a crucial position in our government, I think it only reasonable to allow the entire public to choose who takes that position.

I'd like to weigh in that the three month term limit seems reasonable, now that I'm getting used to the governmental make up of New Sorvun.
It is long enough to get some work done, but not long enough to prevent any one else from ever holding the position. The possibility of the Speaker becoming suddenly inactive may seem impossible, but it's wise to safeguard against such a possibility..
So I have to say Aye in regards to the addendum.

Aye to the addendum. Having a written mechanism for removal of officers is important to have, regardless of their method of selection (appointment, general election, LoN election)

Okay the addendum shall be added to the original proposal, and here it is in its amended form:
- Quote:
-
Amendment V. Explicit Creation of the Role of Speaker of the League of NationsUNDERSTANDING that regular moderation of the League of Nations is necessary, ACKNOWLEDGING that the current form of the Constitution of the Second Republic of New Sorvun is virtually silent about such a role, and RECOGNIZING that in the portion that does mention this role, it is severely limited and fairly vague as to what this role's duties are, and what powers this role has to perform such duties, THEREFORE, the League of Nations of the Second Republic of New Sorvun formally and explicitly creates this role now titled "Speaker of the League of Nations" in the following fashion: Addendum: The following shall be added to the Constitution of the Second Republic of New Sorvun immediately following Article II. Section II. Subsection II.- Quote:
-
Subsection III. The Speaker of the League of Nations.In order to insure effective and efficient flow of business within the League of Nations, the office of Speaker of the League of Nations ("Speaker") is necessary.
- Election: The Speaker is elected by general election
- Candidates must be eligible members of the League of Nations. The Lord Chancellor nor any Judicator can hold the position of Speaker
- The Speaker has a term of three months, and the election will be held at the same time as the Lord Chancellor elections
- Should the Speaker fall inactive, resign, or otherwise neglect or reject his duties, an Interim Speaker shall be appointed by the Lord Chancellor to take up the duties for the remainder of the term. The Interim Speaker must be approved by the League of Nations with a simple majority.
- Duties: The Speaker is entrusted with the following duties:
- Moderate the League of Nations, the Legislative Archives and all committees created by the League of Nations.
- Enforce all Resolutions passed by the League of Nations
- Organizing the floor of the League of Nations.
- Powers: The Speaker is endowed with the following powers:
- Create the League Rules of Order
- The League Rules of Order dictates the time allotted to each phase of the legislative process, defines acceptable conduct by all participates and the necessary requirements for parliamentary procedural items such as motions.
- Classify proposals according to the appropriate committee.
- Close Inactive Proposals: If a proposal on the floor of the League of Nations has gone inactive for thirty (30) days, the Speaker may consider the proposal as rejected and therefore close the proposal and remove it from the floor of the League of Nations.
- Censure: If a member of the League of Nations is disrupting business, the Speaker may submit a Motion to Censure to the League of Nations which temporarily removes or prohibits a member of the League of Nations from participating in the discussion and/or voting phase. The maximum duration shall be no more than thirty (30) days. Motions to Censure must be approved by a three-fifths (3/5) simple majority of the League of Nations.
- Vote on all proposals.
Reduction: The following shall be struck from the Constitution of the Second Republic of New Sorvun, and apply the necessary re-numeration and stylizing of the affected portions: - Quote:
-
Subsection I. Legislative Process.
The LoN shall follow this procedure to effectively conduct business.
1.) Any citizen (regardless of membership) save for Judicators, can present proposals to the floor of the LoN.
2.) The LoN must elect a Speaker to moderate. The Speaker can not vote except in the case of ties.
3.) The Speaker can establish the House Rules at the beginning of his term, with the consent of the LoN.
4.) The time table must be established and agreed upon by the LoN, prior to any conduction of business. Any changes to the time table must be voted upon before enacting.
5.) Should a Directive be passed by the LoN, it is sent to the Lord Chancellor's Office for signage or veto. If he is on official leave, the Directive will remain in his office until he returns, otherwise the Lord Chancellor must either sign or veto the directive within five (5) days. If a decision has not been made by the Lord Chancellor in that time, it will be assumed passed into Law.
Are there any other issues that need to be discussed before we go to vote on this amendment?
