Noting the many increased authority of the Minister and Ministry of Jurisprudence over matters relating the security and wellbeing of the Union and Constitution, and wishing to prevent the undue abuse of that authority, we, the Parliament of the Union, move to guard the Ministry of Jurisprudence from such exposure to malfeasance.

The following text shall be appended as a point to Article III, Section E, Subsection 3, Clause b of the Constitution:
“Point i: The Founder shall have the authority to dismiss the Minister of Jurisprudence if the holder of that position has shown a considerable lack of understanding or application in the exercise of his functions.”

Article III: Conclusion
We, the Parliament and People of the Union, enact the provisions of this Act into law as an Amendment to the Constitution of the Union, and order that the appropriate changes to official documents referenced in this Act be carried out in a timely fashion.

Voting will be open until Saturday April 15, 2017 (I will be on GMT by that time, so the vote will probably close earlier than it usually does for people in the Americas - more like late morning for them instead of early evening). The vote requires a two-thirds majority to pass.

Abdoa votes in favor.

Sepharich votes in favor.

LibDem votes against.

Aralunya votes in favor

Thomolia votes against

Nassau-Windsor acknowledges that this proposal has met fierce opposition. Therefore, I only wish to vote in favour if the majority is already reached. If not so, I will vote to abstain, as the matter directly influences my powers and position within the regional governance.

Our vote is in favor.

You bet your ass that Hashkin votes in favor

The vote is closed and the results are as follows:

Voting: 8
Absent: 1
Majority: 6

In favor: 5
In opposition: 2
In abstention: 1

The proposed constitutional amendment has failed Voting Stage 1 and is dropped.
