(I'm only drafting my ideas for discussion. Please do not propose any of this until after the election.)

The Typhlochactas Reform Act (Part 1)

Amendments to the Constitution
The following shall be added to Article VI: Section VIII of the constitution:

''Reasonable causes for impeachments are failing to fulfill Presidential duties, violating regional law or the constitution, and abuse of power.''

- All instances of ''Congress'' or ''Congressional'' shall be replaced with ''Senate'' and ''Senatorial'', respectively.

Article III: Section III shall now state:

''The Senate shall have jurisdiction in the following areas: the power to pass laws in regards to the regional military, the power to approve of or reject treaties, the power to overturn the veto of the President, the power to manage the WFE and the Forum, and the power to pass laws in order to improve the general welfare of the region, as long as they are within the restrictions of the Constitution.''

Article IV: Section III of the constitution shall be replaced with the following

''Every citizen shall have the right to participate in the National Constituent Assembly. The National Constituent Assembly shall have the power to send legislation to the Senate if a majority of citizens vote in favor. The Senate must approve of all laws passed by the National Constituent Assembly, but the National Constituent Assembly cannot reject laws passed by the Senate. The National Constituent Assembly is only available to those who are not Presidents or Senators.''

Article IV: Section V shall be added and will state:

''The people of the region shall convene in People's Courts to put accused citizens on trial for their alleged crimes. The People's Court may only convene after the Supreme Court has ruled the charges valid. The trial shall be a vote of at least five citizens, and if a majority vote in favor, the accused citizen shall be exiled for the time prescribed by the code of law.''

Article VII: Section II shall now state:

''The Supreme Court shall hold a preliminary trial for all people accused by the Executive Branch of breaking a law. The defendant may argue in his own defense, or have a citizen do it for him. A representative from the Executive Branch must argue to the court why they feel that citizen has broken a law. After reviewing the debate, the justices must decide on the validity of the allegations towards that citizen. If a majority of justices approve of the charges, then the citizen shall go to trial. If a majority of justices reject the charges, then they shall not go to trial.''

-Article II: Section II shall now state:

''The Judicial Branch shall have jurisdiction in the following areas: the ability to rule a law unconstitutional by a plurality of justices, the ability to arbitrate conflicts between citizens of the region, and the ability to rule on the validity of charges against a citizen.''

1: Do it if you want. I don't see any reason for it, but I don't care if it's included.

2: This law operates in existence with current law regarding citizenship, so just amend that if you want. The whole point is to create a registry of citizens we have and information about them, not so much actually deciding how one becomes a citizen.

And obviously, I'm against having people lose citizenship for leaving the region.
1. Actually, I don't think it needs to be included...the person will figure out what to do if they're interested. So never mind.

2. Fair enough.

3. Thinking it over, it actually wouldn't do much.

So nix all of my suggestions.

Actually, I think point three should be put in.

I don't want someone who won't even stay in the region helping to determine our laws.

Either they go really quickly, before anyone can press charges (there could be a time allowance), or they use a puppet.

Yup.

It would be really helpful if he could make the changes and then propose it.
