Let me just clear some things up:

1) I'm not leaving the forum entirly.  I'm just leaving the fantasy elections.

2) When I ran for President, I never expected any powers or anything of the like.  I just wanted to have fun.  I expected to be nothing better than a "Grand Pooba" with just a title and some recongnition for my possition.  That's it.  That's what I envisioned for this entire process.

I never wanted a "Fantasy Government".  I never wanted Constitutions, or Governors, or Justices, or Senators, or Party Bosses.  I just wanted to have fun.  We aren't having that anymore.  It's not Nym's fault, it is not the Progressives fault (although they pressed for all this crap), it is everyone's fault.  We all let it come to this, because those who were for it wanted to go balls out and those who were against it (such as myself) just went with the flow so we wouldn't piss everyone off.  However, everyone is already pissed off, so that gives at least one group cause to speak-up.

So what would I do?  Well, get rid of the Party Bosses, get rid of the "Fantasy Government", get rid of the Supreme Court and for God's sake get rid of the Constitution (sorry Dan, I know you worked hard, but it has become such a damn hassel).  Stick to ELECTIONS.  Have Presidential election, we can have some Senate elections, have a basic set of election rules and have fun!  That's why we started this.  The possitions should mean NOTHING.  It should be to enjoy.  This has all taken up valuible time that we could have used debating the real issues.  It has brought people ot the forum whos only purpose is to take part in the elections and government so they can show everyone on the world-wide-web that their penis is bigger than that of the guy who they beat.

It shouldn't be this way.  Valuible members such as JR have left because this is out of control.  It's time to put an end to it and if you guys can then I will come back to have fun.

That's all.
Pardon me for obtruding here, but it has been implied that there should be election rules. These very rules will be a constitution, whether you call it a constitution or not.

Now, it has also been suggested that these positions should be meaningless, and that parties should not be allowed to have their own leaders. Then all will descend into a monotonous series of elections and campaigns, with nothing in between. I have not been here since the beginning of this process, so I would not know what the original intention was. Still, it seems that this process makes the entire fantasy election concept more interesting. Please note that these are only my views; they are not meant to attack yours.

I was not here for the golden age of the Fantasy Elections. When I came in, I thought it was a Fantasy Elections/Government board.
I echo ShapeShifter's sentiments. If a constitution undergoes writing, one cannot but assume there is some Government involved.
