ATTN Regional Executives: Constitutional Amendment on the Ballot

[Joseph Cao]

Reminder that the Securing Our Elections Officers Amendment passed the Senate in October, at which time I happened to be swamped with work and for some reason everyone else who had a hand in passing it unaccountably forgot to let the regions know. Can't imagine why.

Anyway, this will have to be voted on by the regions:

Senate Resolution

To amend the Constitution to make the Department of Federal Elections and Registrar General Constitutional Officers.

Be it Resolved in the Atlasian Senate Assembled, that upon ratification by 2/3rds of the Regions, the constitution shall be amended as follows:

The Securing Our Elections Officers Amendment

Section 1: The Departments of Federal Elections and Registrar General

Article IV, Section 4, shall read as follows:

Section 4. Elections Administration
1. The Department of Federal Elections shall exist for the purposes of administering Elections.
2. The Office of Registrar General shall exist for the purposes of maintaining the census list.
3. These two positions may be held simultaneously by the same person.
4. The Senate may regulate these entities through appropriate legislation.
5. Appointments to these positions shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Article 4: Section 2, but the President shall remove said occupants of these offices only with the concurrence of a majority of the Senate.

This constitutional Amendment moves the origination authority of the Department of Federal Elections and the Registrar General from Presidential Executive Order to the Constitution, thereby eliminating the ability of the President to abolish these entities, assume them, or recombine them with another cabinet office. Further, it grants the Senate the power to regulate these offices through legislation, while restricting the ability of the President to unilaterally fire either the SoFE or the RG.

People's and Region's Senate
Passed 14-1-0-3 in the Atlasian Senate assembled,

 

Western Democrat, President Pro Tempore

Might've passed too late  to be on the ballot maybe? or just our collective incompetence, I guess it could be either

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Fremont will vote on this during the Senate elections. An attempt at boosting turnout can't hurt.

It's supposed to go to a vote immediately, even if that means calling voters to the polls at an unusual time. But I don't watch AFG that much since I'm not in federal office anymore, and nobody alerted me to anything, so Lincoln never voted on it (and no other region did either).
