Section 1 (The Judiciary)
i. The judicial power of the Republic of Atlasia shall be vested in the Supreme Court, the membership of which shall consist of two Justices and three Associate Justices

I think it should be "Federal Justices" or "Federal Associate Justices" and "Regional Justices" or "Regional Associate Justices." Or something like that. There was a very good reason why I used the terminology I did when we discussed this--namely, the current terms are ambiguous.

Eh, distinguishing between "Federal" and "Regional" Justices seems more confusing to me, since the Associate Justices have both federal and regional responsibilities.

Maybe (Associate) Justice and Regional Justice, then?

Also...while it may be self-serving, are we really going to have an election for President and Vice President that will have less than two weeks of campaigning? I think we should amend this and just allow Duke and I to finish our terms. Cheesy Besides, there is no inherent need for a fresh election in this regard: it's necessary for the House and the Senate since there are inherent changes in the number of people in the chamber and how they're elected (and also that the House is being freshly created).

Ratification is not even possible before late May because of the NE's ratification laws. So a June election is probably a foregone conclusion anyway.

True, but with the "shall commence not more than two weeks after ratification" or whatever part, it's a question of early June vs. normal time in June. The latter would give us both a normal 4-month term for the winner, plus a longer campaign.

With as much enthusiasm as one can muster with moderate sleep deprivation and lack of sufficient caffiene:

AYE!!!
