RZ3 - The Territorial Almost

Published in Clark #0



Statute

That, failing the passage of the preceding law, Talossa shall declare itself satisfied and satiated with the current boundaries, borders, territories, and what-not and thus take no more land from anywhere, anything, or anyone. That Talossa shall, as Jahn recently proposed, reaffirm its boundaries as THE BOUNDARIES to which nothing more needs to be added.
Proposed by: PM Roberty Murphy (BFT-Vuode)

RZ5 - The Ben Oversight Committee Act

Published in Clark #0



Repealed

To make sure Ben does not abuse his powers as King nor as editor of Stotanneu nor as the main medium of the nation, a select committee composed of skeptics shall carefully monitor Ben's official and non-official actions and report to the Cosa if Ben ever exceeds his authority. The skeptics: Sandee Prachel, Dan Lorentz, Bob Murphy and Jean Williams.

RZ6 - The Debate Via the Clark Enabling Act

Published in Clark #0



Statute

To facilitate reasoned exchanged between members of Cosa on the merits of bills, the Secretary of State shall provide space on each month's Clark for debates on the upcoming months's bills. Obviously, this entails that the bills to be voted on in the upcoming month may be published a month before, so that Members of the Cosa may consider and propose alternatives to them.

RZ7 - The Stern Advice to the King on His Use of His Veto Act

Published in Clark #0



Approved but Ephemeral

The Cosa pleasantly but without equivocation asks that the King restrict his or her use of the King's Cosa-granted veto power to legislation which, in his or her painfully considered opinion, would dangerously and drastically alter the future course of the Kingdom. The Cosa expressly urges the King not to veto Cosa approved legislation with which he merely disagrees. It is the Cosa's opinion that unrestricted use of the King's veto will sour and perhaps eventually destroy Talossa's vibrant but still precarious democracy. Hear, King, the wish of the voice of the people.

RZ8 - The Repeal of the Repressive Party Consensus Encouragement Act

Published in Clark #0



Repealing

7RC8 - The Repeal of the Repressive Party Consensus Encouragement Act

The undeniable effect of the recently passed Party Consensus Encouragement Act will be to reduce the variety of independent view expressed in the Cosa.

The Cosa realizes that part of the fun of being a Talossan is the freedom to participate as an independent voice in the hot boil of Talossan politics, and therefore in a fit of reason, hereby repeals the deleterious Party Consensus Encouragement Act.

Citizenship

Whereas, one American citizen Tom Buffone, of moderate political leanings and of great past experience with Talossa, hath appealed to be made our newest Citizen, therefore the Cosa joyously admits him as our newest Citizen.

RZ10 - The Historical but not Real Borders Act

Published in Clark #0



Statute

The Cosa hereby declares Talossa's historic borders to be those which were confirmed by the United States Government prior to the unfair treaty of 26 September 1833 (see pages 20 and 21 of the History). However, approval of this bill in no way is to be seen as making present territorial claims against the United States, merely a recognition of past history.

RZ12 - The National Constitution Act

Published in Clark #0



Approved but Ephemeral

The Kingdom of Talossa hereby resolves to scrap the outmoded and confusing Organic Law by the end of the year 1988, and replace it with a new National Constitution. Furthermore, a Committee on the New Constitution is hereby formed, to study the problem. The Committee will consist of: King Robert I, John Jahn, and Dan Lorentz, and such other members as it shall see fit to admit.

RZ40 - The Legal Clarity and Honesty Act

Published in Clark #0



Approved but Ephemeral

Henceforth, any bill designed to repeal or amend a law, not written by the person who proposed the law to be repealed or amended, must contain a full and accurate description of the law to be repealed or amended. This bill will stifle those dishonest politicians who seek the repeal of good laws by hoodwinking unsuspecting Cosâ members with absurd caricatures of laws. For examples of this vile behaviour, see the DDP's repeal of the Party Consensus Encouragement Act in the March Clark or the DDP's repeal of the Electoral Reform Act in the April Clark.

RZ50 - The Electoral Reform Act Reform Act

Published in Clark #0



Ammendement

The recently-passed Electoral Reform Act stipulates a secret ballot in future RT elections. This is good. Unfortunately it also stipulates a complex system of ranking candidates (not parties) which, upon further reflection, I have concluded would result in confusion. So, the part stipulation this candidate-ranking sytem is hereby abolished, leaving the secret ballot, one person-one votes system in place. I apologise for the confusion.
