Soon-to-be-revote

[wizardofoz01]

I'm going to put up the Justices proposal by Hers up for a re-vote, since one month has passed.

I'm using this thread to notify people -- I don't want to proceed directly to a vote in case there are complaints, but shortly (within a few days) if there are no objections, I will open a new voting thread...

For reference this was the original proposal:

An Amendment to the Constitution, Article V, Section 2, Clauses B & C:

In order to stagger the terms of the Chief and Associate Justices, the clauses named above shall be amended to the following:

B - The Chief Justice and the Associate Justices shall each serve a term of six months. The Chief Justice and the Associate Justices shall be Members of the Regional Assembly who shall hold no other office during their tenure as judges.

C - The term of office of the Chief Justice shall begin on the first day of the months of August and February. Nominations and referendums for the full term shall take place during the months of July and January. The term of office of the Associate Justices shall begin on the first day of the months of May and November. Nominations and referendums for the full term shall take place during the months of April and October. The Chief Justice and the Associate Justices shall be nominated by the Prime Minister with the advice and consent of the Cabinet, and during the interim period between the creation of a vacancy in the office of Chief Justice or an Associate Justice and the confirmation and installation of a successor to that office, the nominee shall serve as an acting judicial officer on the Court of The North Pacific and have the authority to exercise the duties and responsibilities of the office.

Well it's about time, the last vote we had on this failed only because we were something like two votes short on quorum while the response was near unanimous on its support.
