RZ2 - The Democratic Amendment

Published in Clark #1

Whereas the current wording of the OrgLaw is interpreted by different people in different ways, and

Whereas amendments to the OrgLaw have been approved by a majority of both houses of the Ziu, including at least a 2/3rds majority of the Cosa and by the people of Talossa in a referendum, and

Whereas the King should not have the power to effectively permanently veto these amendments, and

Whereas granting the King this power would render much of Talossas vibrant ideological discussions irrelevant, now

Therefore Article XV, Section 1 of the Organic Law, which currently reads:

"An amendment to the Organic Law may be made by proclamation by the King where so authorized by:

* A vote of two-thirds in both chambers of the Ziu, and

* Approval of the majority of voters participating in a referendum on the question of the amendment no later than during the next scheduled general election following the approval of the Ziu.

* Proposed changes to this Organic Law that affect the representation of a province in the Senäts, or of the territory or equal sovereignty of a province, shall only be passed with the approval of a majority of participating voters in that province.", will be amended to read:

"An amendment to the Organic Law shall be made by proclamation by the King where so authorized by:

* A vote of two-thirds in both chambers of the Ziu, and

* Approval of the majority of voters participating in a referendum on the question of the amendment no later than during the next scheduled general election following the approval of the Ziu.

* Proposed changes to this Organic Law that affect the representation of a province in the Senäts, or of the territory or equal sovereignty of a province, shall only be passed with the approval of a majority of participating voters in that province.

* If the King does not make such a proclamation within two weeks of the amendment being authorised, the amendment to the OrgLaw will be considered in effect and the OrgLaw accordingly amended.

* In accordance with Article X, Section 6 of the OrgLaw, the King retains the right to reject an amendment that has been approved by the Cosa and the Senäts before its ratification by referendum."
