Special Prosecutor Bill

1. The Attorney General, with the approval of the President, shall be empowered to appoint a special prosecutor to prosecute cases on behalf of the Republic of Atlasia.

2. The special prosecutor must be a member in good standing of the Supreme Court Bar.

3. In the absence of the Attorney General, the President shall be empowered to make appointments under this Act.

4. Nothing within this Act shall be construed such as to remove the right of the Attorney General to prosecute cases of behalf of the Republic of Atlasia.

     This should be fairly uncontroversial.

Don't see anything wrong with it myself.

Can the special prosecutor be dismissed at the Attorney General's will? The President's? Both? Neither? That should probably be decided on, unless there's some other law dealing with deputy cabinet officer appointments.

The only precedent I can think of is that the SoFA can hire/fire the Deputy SoFA at will

The Special Prosecutor should be like the Supreme Court Justices.  Keeps the post until they retire, they need to be politically independent.

Er, Aye, unless there's some way to re-open debate. There really needs to be something in here about how the Special Prosecutor is dismissed and clarification of how independent of the AG (and his term) the special prosecutor is.

So, yeah, bill passes (but where). Senators have a day to change their votes, if that's what they want to do.

No, they don't, the Senate Rules were changed to remove the 24 hour period in unanimous votes.

Doesn't this become law after a few days whether or not the President signs it?

Not a few days, no. A week. Unless the rules have changed in a way that I've not noticed (possible).

     Senight sounds better than week, though. Tongue
