The OrgLaw Maintenance Act

Uréu q'estadra så: John Minot, PC-Maricopa

WHEREAS, the true and current version of the Organic Law must have a definite repository, and

WHEREAS, this duty has traditionally devolved upon the Secretary of State in an informal manner, and

WHEREAS, as a result of this informal arrangement, amendments to the OrgLaw are not always reflected on these pages in a timely manner, and

WHEREAS, for just proceedings of the laws of the Regipäts, an authoritative copy of our nation's fundamental law must exist,

THEREFORE:

1. Possession of and responsibility for the master Organic Law is vested in the Ministry of Justice.

2. The Ministry of Justice shall maintain the Organic Law on an Internet site, and shall also provide copies to interested citizens by post on request.

3. The Ministry of Justice shall promptly bring the master version of the Organic Law up to date as amendments are passed by referendum, and shall keep a record of each amendment and the referendum thereof.

Whereas Senäts elections are scheduled stricly to happend every three months

Whereas the term of Senators is supposed to be exactly 21 months

Whereas the election of senators are supposed to happend in the final month of the term of service of a senator

Whereas it as happened in the past and will happend in the future that Senatorial election do not occur exacly when schedule

Whereas the organic law is not clear as to what should happend in such a case

Whereas one of the most important section of any constitution is the method of electing the legislature

Therefore, the Ziu resolved to ammend the following articles of the Organic law :

Art. IV:Sec. 9. Elections for the filling of places in the Senäts shall be conducted by the Secretary of State, and until the Ziu otherwise provides, shall take place in the final month of the term of service of the senator currently occupying the place. The failure of any Province to elect or appoint a senator shall not affect the despatch of the business of the Senäts.


Art. IV:Sec. 10. As soon as may be after the Senäts first meets, the Senäts shall divide the senators chosen for each Province into seven classes, as nearly equal in number as practicable, such that senators for any given Province shall belong to the same class; and the places of the senators of the first class shall become vacant at the expiration of three months, and the places of each consecutive class three months after the vacation of the previous class, from the beginning of their term of service; and afterwards the places of senators shall become vacant at the expiration of twenty-one months from the beginning of their term of service.


To read as follows :


Art. IV:Sec. 9. Elections for the filling of places in the Senäts shall be conducted by the Secretary of State, and until the Ziu otherwise provides, shall take place in the final month of the term of service of the senator currently occupying the place. The failure of any Province to elect or appoint a senator shall not affect the despatch of the business of the Senäts. If in the final term of service of a Senator, no elections are called or appointment are done, th senator remains in office until an election is performed or a senator is appointed.


Art. IV:Sec. 10. As soon as may be after the Senäts first meets, the Senäts shall divide the senators chosen for each Province into seven classes, as nearly equal in number as practicable, such that senators for any given Province shall belong to the same class; and the places of the senators of the first class shall become vacant at the expiration of three months, and the places of each consecutive class three months after the vacation of the previous class, from the beginning of their term of service; and afterwards the places of senators shall become vacant at the expiration of twenty-one months from the beginning of their term of service. However, if the senator started his term of service later than the official end of term of service of the precedent senator, the term of service is reduced for the end of term of the current senator to occur exactly 21 months after the end of service of the preceding senator

Whereas the Article IV : The Senäts is one of the longest articles in the Organic Law

Whereas the Article IV declares both how the Senators are elected and the composition and workings of the Senäts

Whereas the similiars articles for the Cosâ are divided in two distinct articles, Articles VI : Elections to the Cosâ and Article VII : Composition of the Senäts

Whereas the current Minister of Stuff is currently creating an organic law diagram

Whereas such dissimilarities between the Article of the Senäts and the articles of the Cosâ make a clear and concise reading and classification of the Organic Law difficult

Whereas whenever someone searches differences between the Cosâ and the Senäts, the difference between the two articles makes such comparison difficult

Therefore, the Ziu resolves to divide the Senâts article in two articles, Article IV : Election to the Senäts and Article V : Composition of the Senäts, will all articles numbered V or higher getting renumbered to accomodate the new article.

Article IV will contain the following sections of the old Article IV :

Section 1
Sections 7 thru 11
Section 14
Section 16

Article V will contain the following sections of the old Article IV :

Sections 2 thru 6
Sections 12 thru 13
Sections 17
Section 15
Section 18

WHEREAS, The Organic Law, 1997, Article XV, Section 14, states "Justices and all other judges shall wear judge’s wigs while exercising judicial power"; and,

WHEREAS, a guiding principle seems to be "having laws that do not correspond with reality is not a good thing"; and,

WHEREAS, said judge’s wigs are not readily available and are expensive probably as a result; and,

WHEREAS, as a result of the aforementioned "whereas", it has been stated by one of the judge’s that wigs are not worn;

THEREFORE, , the Ziu hereby instructs that a vote be taken in a public referendum, at the earliest possible opportunity, to delete the provisions of The Organic Law, 1997, Article XV, Section 14, in its entirety.

1. Whereas, Pete Rose was one of Major League Baseball's greatest players, and

2. Whereas, Pete Rose belongs in the Hall of Fame for his achievements, and

3. Whereas, The minor gambling infraction he committed is keeping him out of the Hall of Fame;

4. Therefore, The Ziu recommends that the President of the United States pardons Pete Rose of all gambling related crimes, and

- Officially recommends to the Commissioner of Major League Baseball, Bud Selig, that he takes immediate and decisive action to ensure Pete Rose's place in the Baseball's Hall of Fame this year.

- Expresses to Pete Rose and his family our condolences for all emotional damage caused by not inducting him in a more timely fashion.

1. Whereas, The esteemed Uppermost Cort is currently the only judicial body in the RT, and

2. Whereas, A provision exists in Article XV: Section 1 providing for the establishment of Inferior Corts,

and

3. Therefore, The Ziu creates a National Lower Cort that is presided over by one Justice and is created in accordance with the following rules:

- The Seneschal initially appoints the Justice who then requires Ziu confirmation by a 2/3 majority.

- The position of Lower Cort justice will thereafter require an annual election to ensure accountability to all citizens of the RT.

- No term limits are applicable to the position of Lower Cort Justice.

- The Lower Cort Justice may not be a member of the Uppermost Court.

- The Lower Cort is required to hear all cases that meet the requirement as stated in the 1997 Organic Law Article XV, Section 6.

- If a Lower Cort ruling is appealed, the Uppermost Cort is to receive all evidence, written arguments and Lower Cort Findings to determine the merit of the appeal.

- The Uppermost Cort reserves the right to deny hearing any appellate case.

Submitted by Ronalt Rosais on behalf of Albrec'ht Stolfi (RCT)

1. WHEREAS, Talossans have always had a inexplicable and inextricable "spiritual" connection with the Star Wars Universe; and

2. WHEREAS, The most recent addition to the Star Wars films, Episode One: The Phantom Menace, was released in 1999; and

3. WHEREAS, there was a certain infamous character in that movie, a loony Gungan by the name of Jar Jar Binks; and

4. WHEREAS, this character was totally rendered in clumsy computer graphics instead of the old rubber masks so popular in the first Star Wars Trilogy; and

5. WHEREAS, even though this character was created for purposes of comic relief, he is not a bit funnier than the memorable C3PO, Chewbacca and even the Ewoks; and

6. WHEREAS, the thought of having to see Jar Jar in Episodes Two and Three just freaks us out;

7. THEREFORE the Ziu officially condemns any and all future participations of Jar Jar Binks and other moronic CGI characters in Star Wars Episodes Two and Three; the Ziu also officially encourages all Talossan citizens to refrain from spending their money on Jar Jar Binks merchandise and any other crap related to the idiot.
