The Clover Confederation - Amendment List & Queue


♧THE CLOVER CONFEDERATION♧
"How many potatoes does it take to kill an Irishman? Zero."
♧AMENDMENT LIST & QUEUE♧


♧AMENDMENT N♧
ON AMENDMENTS
Originally proposed to the Grand Court of Hegiroth on 4/3/19; re purposed for The Clover Confederation on 25/4/19
By The greater low countries

♧PART I: THE PROCESS BY WHICH AMENDMENTS BECOME LAW♧
I - The Queue. When an amendment is submitted, it must be submitted to a queue. The queue will be represented by an appropriate document which is publicly view-able and privately editable. This is proposed to be a factbook written by a region-specific law nation (e.g. a proposed "Clovic Department of Regional Law").
When an amendment is submitted, it is put in the back of the queue; amendments are processed from the front of the queue to the back of the queue.

II - The Governmental Review. When an amendment is processed by the government, it is processed by a certain set of the government: all Court and Council members except for any Court or Council members that wrote the amendmenta. This group will take four days to discuss. This amendment suggests a Clovic government-only region and RMB for publicly-view-able discussion. Discussion is not mandatory, but highly encouraged.
The government may ask for permission for the creator(s) of the amendment to change the proposed name or number of the amendment, or the amendment's grammar. All creators must give permission for a change in spelling or the proposed name or number in order for this to occur. If the creators fail to give permission for an edit, the edit is not valid.
After four days, this government amendment review group will take a vote (encouraged to be a two-day poll in the government-only region) on whether they believe the amendment should become law. If the "yea" voters secure a majority (over 1/2 vote "yea"), the amendment will be voted on publicly.
If, however, the vote does not pass, the government will follow up with the amendment creators. They should explain any problems they had with the amendment.
aIf, for some odd reason, this government group does not meet a quorum of 3 officials, the government role must be bypassed and taken directly to the Public Council, which is described below.

III - The Public Council. If the amendment has been approved by a majority of the officials, it then is taken to public vote. The plebiscite is announced two days before it is called for (and provides a link to the proposed amendment), and is a two-day vote (encouraged to be a poll in The Clover Confederation). Government officials may vote in this plebiscite, as they are citizens. If this vote passes with a 2/3 majority, the government will put the new law into effect as described below.

IV - Making Approved Amendments Law. If an amendment has successfully passed the Public Council, it must be enacted as law within 24 hours. This includes:
i. announcing the new law on the RMB
ii. creating a new document with the amendment in it by the proposed "Clovic Department of Regional Law" nation
iii. striking null and void any amendments, statements in amendments, laws, or statements in laws that violate the amendment and which the amendment takes precedence over.

♧PART II: PROVISIONS WHICH SHALL BE MADE♧
i. This proposed amendment will undergo The Process By Which Amendments Become Law as detailed in Part II of this document.
ii. A nation of Regional Law will be created and managed by an elected Clovic Court official -- the founder and co-founder will make a decision on which official this is, or if there will be a new position.
iii. A discussion board will be made for the government to discuss laws and amendments.
iv. This proposed amendment will have its provisions undertaken if signed into law.

PASSED; RATIFIED


♧AMENDMENT I♧
ON POLITICAL ORGANIZATION
Proposed to the Council of The Clover Confederation on 25/6/19
By New excalibus

♧PART I: THE PROCESS BY WHICH POLITICAL PARTIES/ALLIANCES ARE FORMED♧
I - The Application. If an individual holding citizenship of The Clover Confederation wishes to form a political organization, they must fill out an application to become an offically registered political organization. The application is to be posted in a factbook labeled under FACTBOOK → LEGISLATION and sent to the Founder.

The application is to be as follows;

NATION NAME: (Full nation name including title; i.e. The Hive Mind of Testlandia)
NAME OF PROPOSED POLITICAL ORGANIZATION: (i.e. [BLANK] Party)
MEMBERS and/or ALLIES: (Nations or other political parties in alliance with yours)
COLORS: (Up to two colors symbolizing your political organization)
LOGO: (Go to imgur.com and upload your logo, and then hover over the image and press "Copy Image"; paste here)

♧PART II: THE PROCESS BY WHICH POLITICAL PARTIES/ALLIANCES ARE REPRESENTED IN THE GOVERNMENT♧
I - The Senate. At the moment, the only elections held in The Clover Confederation are those for electing nations to the Clovic Council. This amendment proposes a third branch of government be created; the Clovic Senate. Political parties/alliances would become part of this proposed Senate immediately, so much as they have three or more members. Parties would send a maximum of three representatives for their party. This senate's main job would be proposing ideas to the Clovic Court as amendments. These amendments, upon a vote would then be passed on to the Clovic Council and then officially ratified. However, there is another proposed idea for representation in the government.

II - Endorsement of Clovic Council Candidates. Political parties/alliances may independently select a member of their party and propose them as a candidate for the Council elections. This would allow the party to have higher influence in the Confederation. However, using these powers to directly benefit their party is strictly illegal and will result with impeachment by the Court.
