RZ7 - The depolitization of the monarchy ammendment

Published in Clark #2

WHEREAS, the evolution of Talossa from a one-man state, to a multi-ego, monarchical autocracy, to a semiconstitutional balance of powers under the 1985 Organic Law, to a constitutional Monarchy under the 1988 Constituziun and 1997 Organic Law, has seen a consistent expansion of the rights of the Talossan people to determine their own destiny under the historically appropriate watchful eye of the House and Dynasty of Rouergue, and

WHEREAS, this evolution and growth of the Talossan nation now requires a further clarification of the constitutional responsibilities of the Legislature and of the Monarchy, each in its own separate sphere, and

WHEREAS, in his Speech from the Throne of 28 November 2003 the King indicated his intention to remove himself from direct involvement in the parliamentary system of Talossa,

Therefore: The Organic Law of Talossa is hereby amended.

Article VIII, Section 2 is changed to read as follows:

"Art. VIII:Sec. 2. Any Member of the Cosâ, or Senator, or the King, shall have the right to submit bills, before the before the twenty-first day of the month, to the Secretary of State for consideration by the Ziu. Bills received after the twenty-first day of the month shall be published in the next Clark or postponed for one Clark, at the Secretary of State's discretion."

And Article VII, Section 6 is changed to read as follows:

"Art. VII:Sec. 6. Anyone eligible to vote in Talossa is eligible to hold any government position, including Member of the Cosâ. However, neither a reigning King nor a Regent shall hold any seats, either in the Cosâ or in the Senäts, during his reign or regency."

The provision for a Regent is to clearly separate the powers of the Legislative and Executive branches.

A referendum shall be authorized, at the earliest legal opportunity, so that the people of Talossa may pass or defeat this Amendment.
