Amendment II

[Nimitz]

I propose this amendment to make the Vice President elected.

The complete removal of subsection k of section 1 of article I:

(k) The President must appoint a Vice President and may appoint any other deputy ministers, such
as for science and the economy, as he or she feels necessary.
(i) The Vice President must be appointed in accordance with Article VII, Section 6.
(ii) The Vice President assumes all powers and responsibilities of the President should the
President be unable to perform.
(iii) The Vice President shall assist the President in the duties of his or her office whenever possible.
(iv) The President may not dismiss the Vice President. The Vice President may only be removed
via impeachment.

The complete removal of section 8 of Article VII:

8 Immediately after winning the election, the President-elect must appoint a Vice President.
(a) Any citizen who is not a Minister-elect or Judge may be appointed.
(b) The Vice Presidential Nominee must be confirmed by a majority of the Senate in a poll that
shall last 3 days.
(c) The President-elect shall make all reasonable attempts to post the confirmation poll on the
15th, so that the appointed Vice President, if confirmed, can take office shortly after the start of
the term. If the President-elect is subject to a run-off election, he or she shall make all reasonable
attempts to post the confirmation poll on the 18th.
(d) If the Vice Presidential nominee is not confirmed by the Senate, the game shall continue
without a Vice President until a Nominee can be confirmed.

Further the removal of subsection (a) of section 11 of Article VII:

(a) A President so elected must immediately appoint a Vice President. The Vice President must
then be confirmed by a majority of the Senate.

The changing of section 9 of Article VII from this:

9 All newly elected Ministers, the President, and Vice President (if confirmed) begin their term of
office on the 18th of the month. The previous Ministers remain in control of their offices until the
same date.

To this:

9 All newly elected Ministers, the President, and Vice President begin their term of office on the
18th of the month. The previous Ministers remain in control of their offices until the same date.

Change section 1 of Article VII from this:

1 Elections for the President, Supreme Military Commander, Foreign Affairs Minister, and
Domestic Minister shall begin on the 12th of every month.

To this:

1 Elections for the President, Vice President, Supreme Military Commander, Foreign Affairs
Minister, and Domestic Minister shall begin on the 12th of every month.

Add this as a new subsection k of section 1 of article I:

(k) The President may appoint any deputy ministers, such as for science and the economy, as he
or she feels necessary.

And finally add this as a section to article I:

2. The Vice President
(a) The Vice President assumes all powers and responsibilities of the President should the
President be unable to perform his duties.
(b) The Vice President shall assist the President in the duties of his or her office whenever possible.
(c) The President may not dismiss the Vice President. The Vice President may only be removed
via impeachment.

I like it

[ChrisiusMaximus]

That all looks fine to me as long as you add in that the vice president should always provide plenty of free beers for the senate meetings

[Makahlua]

Looks good to me, just putting the current procedures into law

[Duddha]
