RZ31 - Allowing the SoS to be apolitical amendment

Published in Clark #6

WHEREAS there are more and more talks about making the SoS office apolitical AND

WHEREAS I have been proposing it for over a year now AND

WHEREAS people across the political spectrum seem more and more willing to go with it AND

WHEREAS the SoS should still be able to submit bills 

THEREFORE the Ziu resolves to submit in a referendum the following amendments to the Organic Law:

Therefore the sixth section of the eighth article of the Organic Law, which currently reads as:

Except as otherwise provided by law, anyone eligible to vote in Talossa is eligible to hold any governmental position, including Member of the Cosâ. However, neither a reigning King, nor his Consort, nor a Regent during his regency shall hold any seats, either in the Cosâ or in the Senäts, nor shall any Senator hold any seats in the Cosa. But if a member of the Ziu is appointed Regent, and does not wish to resign his or her seats, a temporary replacement shall be appointed who shall occupy the Regent's seats until he or she is no longer Regent or his or her term of occupation of those seats expires. The method of appointing the temporary holder of the Regent's seats shall be specified in law.

shall be replaced by:

Except as otherwise provided by law, anyone eligible to vote in Talossa is eligible to hold any governmental position, including Member of the Cosâ. However, neither a reigning King, nor his Consort, nor a Regent during his regency, nor the Secretary of State shall hold any seats, either in the Cosâ or in the Senäts, nor shall any Senator hold any seats in the Cosa. But if a member of the Ziu is appointed Regent, and does not wish to resign his or her seats, a temporary replacement shall be appointed who shall occupy the Regent's seats until he or she is no longer Regent or his or her term of occupation of those seats expires. The method of appointing the temporary holder of the Regent's seats shall be specified in law.

Further, the second section of the ninth article of the Organic Law, which currently reads as:

Any Member of the Cosâ, or Senator, or the King, shall have the right to submit legislative proposals and bills to the Secretary of State for consideration by the Ziu according to the procedures specified in this article.

shall be replaced by the following:

Any Member of the Cosâ, or Senator, or the Secretary of State, or the King, shall have the right to submit legislative proposals and bills to the Secretary of State for consideration by the Ziu according to the procedures specified in this article.
