Revised Constitution by Demrepdan

Why did you shorten voting periods from 72 to 48 hours? I must say I disapprove of that!
The voter must state on his ballot from which state he is casting his vote? I think I know why you put that in - to prevent confusion - but that may create lots of unnecessarily invalid ballots, which would be beside the point. I say, there should be an official voters register which will note who's registered in what state, and which will be posted after registrations close. If you want to change your home state, it's not enough to get a different avatar, you also have to post the change in the registration thread (but not of course in the last ten days before the elections)
Why term limits for the Vice Presidency? They don't exist in the US.
Regional Rights- what if I as Governor just set my term period at 100 years? Maybe we should have something like "Governors will be elected for four months terms without term limits on the same day as mid-term elections and using the same system, until and unless a majority of its residents decide otherwise in a public vote"?
Does Article V, clause 2 also apply to signatures or only to the text of posts? I approve only in the latter case.
There's a strange hald-sentence at the end of V, 5, that's probably not supposed to be there...
But the most important point is, of course: One of those regions of yours still has only three registered voters, including the vice president. Thus the other two have to be the Governor and Senator. This problem should be rectified by exchanging Nebraska for Missouri, putting two more registered voters in the region.

I didn't shorten a damn thing.....weren’t you here for the last election? We had it from NOON on Friday...to NOON on Sunday. When was it ever 72 hours? Where the hell have you been?

I wasn't even registered to vote then...I thought I remembered that it was from Midnight on Friday to Midnight on Sunday, but I may be wrong. Anyways later polls during the Constitutional COnvention have been open for 72 hours. But if the elction was for 48 hourse then it's fine, of course.

Perhaps I can set a clause in the Constitution that can insure that if that were to ever happen (regions setting their term for 100 years...or whatever)...that respective region would face an intervention by the Supreme Court. Maybe a Clause such as: No Regional Governor’s term shall exceed six months. I will NEVER right in the Constitution.....WHEN the regions should hold their elections...if they want to hold their elections on the Fourth of July....or on Christmas Day...let them do it. I don't want a Federal Government that controls every little aspect of every election. (Especially when it comes to regions..which shouldn't have much power anyway...so why deal with rules for them that much?)[/quote] Yeah, let them do it. The point is, I would like to give them some framework that they can start out on, and if they want they can change it later. Even to 100 years terms if a majority of the voters wants that. Unlike in the real US, where some states existed before the US and already had constitutional provisions in place, we're setting up the regions by this constitution.

I'm not sure what you mean by "hald-sentence", but sure. [/quote]
Half-sentence.

I didn't come up with the regions...so don't bitch at me about it. I don't claim responsibility for thinking of the regions or districts at ALL. And in case you haven't noticed...I have pretty much stayed OUT of the region making process. [/quote] That was an error, because it means you didn't understand why the regions plan you're currently proposing isn't even an option, it's a bad joke. Sorry for the harsh words, but that plan is not currently usable. This is the one issue mentioned here that I feel really strongly about. And as far as I can see, adding MO to that SOuth Central region is the only easy remedy for it. Any other remedy would effectively mean starting from square 1. I may be overlooking some other option, though.

I just realised that despite the fact we voted for preferential voting it isn't in the constitution...please fix this, Dan.

Otherwise, I'm happy enough with it as is.

Did we? Really? I seem not to recall that... But I endorse it fully.

[minionofmidas]

That was my proposal.
