Nierr:
Following my appointment as Entertainment Minister (
http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/single/?p=8228987&t=7410051 ) I'd like to request the following:
1. A Ministry of Entertainment subforum set up in Delegate's Government forum, with a Entertainment HQ inside it, viewable by the Minister and RP Moderators (along with Cabinet?)
2. Either adding myself to the RP Moderators group or giving me mod permissions over the RP and Entertainment/EntHQ forum.
3. This topic edited to reflect the new ministry (if need be I can whip something up for it
)
http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/7198621/1/
edit: though I do not believe it is legally required: an oath has been posted

Unless I've missed something (which is entirely possible), you are DOS in NS. So how do you meet requirement #1 for becoming a minister, having a nation in TNP?
That isn't a requirement for becoming a deputy minister.
Edit: To explain, this is Article 7 of the Constitution:
1. Constitutionally-mandated elected officials are the Delegate, Vice Delegate, Speaker, Justices, and Attorney General.
2. Government officials are the constitutionally-mandated elected officials, any officials appointed by them as permitted by law, and members of the Security Council.
3. The executive category consists of the Delegate, Vice Delegate, Attorney General, and government officials appointed by government officials in the executive category.
4. The legislative category consists of the Speaker, and government officials appointed by government officials in the legislative category.
5. The judicial category consists of the Justices, and government officials appointed by government officials in the judicial category .
6. Any temporary replacement for a government official in the case of an absence or vacancy will be considered a government official in the branch of the official being replaced, regardless of the method of their selection.
7. All government officials, with the exception of members of the Security Council, must maintain citizenship while in office.
8. All government officials will swear an oath of office. The content of these oaths will be determined by law and be legally binding.
9. No person may simultaneously serve in more than one constitutionally-mandated elected official positions.
10. No person may simultaneously serve in government official positions in more than one of the executive, legislative, or judicial categories. Exceptions to this provision may be established by law.
11. Candidates in any election must maintain citizenship for the fifteen days before the opening of candidacy declarations and throughout the election.
12. Government bodies may create rules for their own governance subordinate to this constitution and the laws.
13. Procedures to fill vacancies and absences in constitutionally-mandated elected offices may be established by law.
14. No law or government policy may contradict this constitution.
The relevant passages that would apply are 1., 2., and 7. As I was not appointed by a 'constitutionally mandated elected official' and instead 'by an official appointed by them' then I am not a government official under the provisions of the Constitution as it is written at this time.
