RZ22 - The Amada Mertgedes Martyrdom Memorial Act

Published in Clark #4

WHEREAS OrgLaw III.2 (before Still Into This, IV.4) provides that a Senator could not "vote their seat" until they qualified through length of citizenship or service;

AND WHEREAS OrgLaw III.5 (before Still Into This, V.5) provides that a Senator who does not vote on two consecutive Clarks loses their seat;

AND WHEREAS the intention of HM King John, who authored the first clause, was not that the combination of the two clauses would lead to someone to whom the first clause applied falling victim to the second clause;

AND WHEREAS this is not how the Secretary of State, and the current Attorney-General, have interpreted the law;

AND WHEREAS the Government has decided not to take the issue to Cort, but instead prefers to allow the Ziu to sort it out:

BE IT ENACTED by the King, Cosa and Senäts in Ziu assembled that OrgLaw III.5, which currently reads:
 

A Senator vacates his seat if he fails to vote on two consecutive Clarks, or if he resigns from office, loses his citizenship or dies.

is amended to read:
 

A Senator vacates their seat if, not being disqualified from voting by law, they do not vote on two consecutive Clarks; or if they resign from office, lose their citizenship or die.
