Cabinet Vote

[mr_sniffles]

Art 3.2
B - In the event of a vacancy in the Office of Prime Minister, the Cabinet shall nominate a new Prime Minister, from among any of the Nations that meet the eligibility requirements for election, within seven days. The designation of the Nation nominated by the Cabinet is to be confirmed in a referendum of the Regional Assembly, in which a quorum participates, through a motion of confirmation. The nomination and referendum election shall be conducted as expeditiously as practicable. The Nation nominated for Prime Minister shall meet all qualifications for the office, and the nominated Nation is subject to any and all limitations for service provided in this Constitution or The North Pacific Legal Code. During the interim period between the creation of the vacancy in the office of Prime Minister and the confirmation and installation of a successor to the office of Prime Minister, the Cabinet shall collectively have the authority to exercise the duties and responsibilities of the office

Art 6.2
2) The Judicial Branch or the Prime Minister can call a referendum vote of the Regional Assembly for the purpose of approving a motion for immediate expulsion by the posting of the case and evidence of needed action in a thread within the Regional off-site Forum and a notification of the motion and referendum on the Regional message board at Nationstates.net at any time.
3) If more than half of the Regional Assembly Members who cast a vote in that thread, with a quorum participating, vote in favor of an ejection within a 24 hour period, then the Nation will be ejected by the Delegate.

As such I am holding a vote in which if four cabinet members approve (Del making the deciding vote should their be a tie) on whether to authorize a vote in the Regional Assembly to ban Cathyy from the North Pacific.

Never before have we had a member of our region so hateful and disrespectful of our region's values and institutions. Our Constitution allows us to protect ourselves from open sedition, we remain respectful of honest dissent but she has proven again and again to not only want to overthrow our democratically elected delegate but to openly subvert our way of life. Our Constitution allows protections against such behaviours, now I'm asking you play your part in protecting our region. This is a vile and nasty response but it is our only response to the irrational acts of aggression placed upon us.

And obviously I vote to approve such action, to allow the Regional Assembly vote as to whether to allow Cathyy to continue to destroy our way of life.

..... WHAT?

There is NO vacancy in the office of PM, unless I missed Hers' resignation somewhere.

 

[mr_sniffles]

The Constitution allows us to make decisions in his place if he is gone. He is gone. The framers in no way would have allowed two weeks of chaos just because Hers went on vacation!

You're over interpretating IMO.

I have been ordered by Byardkuria, in his capacity as chief justice, to close this thread.
