Proposals Thread

[Leinad]

I would like to propose a thread where we discuss the ban on holding offices in other nations.

As Oakvale pointed out, this is actually in the Constitution (Article I, Section 6). That's not a good thing, because (as myself and others have explained ad nauseum--I suppose I could rehash it if need be) it's a destructive policy to both us and our friends to the south.

Along this line, I would like to see, if possible, a law on the books banning stupid, ridiculous, trivial laws from being introduced or passed.   

I suppose this isn't the place for debate, but I can't help asking: how on earth would you objectively determine what's stupid, ridiculous, or trivial?

- Separation of Church and State and generally people's rights;
- Ban of holding offices in other nations;
- Structure, size and powers of Cabinet;
- Structure, size and powers of Court;
- New Constitutional Convention;
- Candidacy and Office Holding Rules;
- Voter Registration and Voting Rules;
- Other things.

Good ideas.

Here's another proposal: the rules regarding Presidential Pardons. I recently used the citizen initiative thing in an attempt to slightly reform the pardon system, but it didn't work in the Senate, somehow.

Here is my proposal.

If we have 3 regions-

1 Judge appointed by each region to deal with regional laws. Together they also convene to form a Supreme Court to deal with federal matters. The most senior of them is Chief Justice.

If we have 2 regions-

Same setup as above, except the 3rd justice is the Chief Justice and appointed by the President with consent of the Senate.

This is a really good idea, you're on a roll!

Yeah, I have to admit, Talleyrand's been doing well this ConCon, even though he isn't a delegate.
