Succession Act (2014)

An act to allow for the continuation of stable government following the demise of the Chancellory or vacancy of the Premiership, and to amend the Vice Chancellor Act (2014).

Demise of the Chancellory

(2) Should the Grand Chancellor of the Independent Order go inactive for a period of seven (7) days without an official declared leave of absence, there shall be a demise of the Chancellory.

(3) Pursuant to the Vice Chancellor Act (2014), if the Vice Chancellor is unable to assume the Chancellory, then the Chancellory shall be assumed by members of the Privy Council by the date of joined the Independent Order.

(3) A member of the Privy Council entitled to assume the Chancellory may defer the position, in which case it shall be assumed by the next entitled member.

(4) Sections (2) and (3) shall remain pursuant to Section (3) of His Majesty’s Declaration of Abdication Act (2014).

Vacancy of the Premiership

(5) Should the position of Premier become vacant, then, pursuant to Section (28) of the Constitution of the Independent Order, the Vice Premier shall inherit the power, authority and responsibility of the position accordingly.

(6) Should the office of the Vice Premier also become vacant, then the Grand Chancellor shall be responsible for appointing an Acting Premier to inherit the power, authority and responsibility of the Premiership.

(7) The Vice Premier’s position shall become vacant following a resignation or if the Vice Premier does not log in to the forum for a period of seven (7) days without a declared Leave of Absence.

(8) Should there be an Early Vacancy of the Premiership, as defined by Section (2) of the By-Election Procedures Act (2014), then an immediate Premier Election shall be called by the Grand Chancellor.

(9) Should there be a Late Vacancy of the Premiership, as defined by Section (5) of the By-Election Procedures Act (2014), then the Acting Premier shall, at their discretion, continue to hold the position of Acting Premier until the next due elections.

(10) Section (8) shall not apply following the declaration of either a Level One or Level Two State of Emergency, as defined by The Emergency Procedures Act (2014).

Amendments

(11) The following section shall be added after Section (3) of the Vice Chancellor Act (2014):

Guys I...noticed an Oopsie.

I uh, defined 'early vacancy' as being an early vacancy in the Senate, not for the premiership.

Thus I'm going to motion this evening that we make an emergency amendment to this bill before it passes.

Okay, here goes, I propose the text be amended to:

Quote:
 
(8) Should there be an Early Vacancy of the Premiership, defined as being within the first twenty-three (23) days of the Premier's term, then an immediate Premier Election shall be called by the Grand Chancellor.

(9) Should there be a Late Vacancy of the Premiership, defined as being a vacancy occurring after the twenty-third (23rd) day of the Premier's term, then the Acting Premier shall, at their discretion, continue to hold the position of Acting Premier until the next due elections.
