Amending "Defining Citizenship"
 
Written by Speaker of the House Birkinghamia

Believing that it is important to close any loopholes that currently exist regarding citizenship,

Hereby ratifies "Amending "Defining Citizenship.""

Quote:
 
A citizen shall be defined as:

  • A nation that has resided within the region for 48 hours;
  • A person and nation who has signed up to the forums with a single account.

Citizenship will be revoked and the requirements for a nation to become a citizen will be reset upon leaving the region, except if a nation obtains a "Visitor's Visa". This visa will be issued by the President or a Secretary that he or she appoints for the purpose, and the President or the Secretary is permitted to turn down requests. This visa must be applied for in an application thread. This visa will expire three days after being issued.

What do you guys think?

Good job, Birk!

I was too lazy to do this! :P

One thing: (not a critique, just an idea) Could we add in a procedure for officials who leave the region without a visa? Maybe give them two days to return or remove them from office? Not to recall them (You know where I stand on mandatory recalls) but just assert that you must be a citizen to hold office.

What do you think?

Well, with this proposal, if a person leaves the region they aren't a citizen any longer (except with a visa, which expires in three days).

If we amend the constitution to state that government officials have to be citizens, this would be covered. That would make them constitutionally unqualified to be serving in the government, which would annul their place in the government, so an election would need to take place for the vacant seat.

Just clarification, would this amendment, Birk, clearly state a new election would be held? I think it should...

I believe this is my 1000th post... :D

Well, if a person is invalidated and removed from office, there'd be an election, correct???

Yeah, you're still ahead of me.

Yeah, but that's covered by the constitution where it states that when a vacancy is created an election is held.
