Consulate Order Amending the Council Terms and Sessions Act

Preamble:
Through the Constitution of the Republic, the Council of the Republic is empowered to petition the Consulate to implement regional policies through formally convened votes (III.II.I) Subsequently, the Consulate has the authority to issue Consulate Orders that outline change in said regional policy (II.II.XII) that is passed by the Council of the Republic through the form of Acts.

The Consulate of the Republic, while working with the original author of the Council Terms and Sessions Act, has come to the conclusion that the legislated Council votes for independent reviewers to carry out a post-term mandatory review process is redundant in the case of exactly three reviewers putting themselves forward. Furthermore, the Council Terms and Sessions Act does not include a provision for the case of less than three members of the Council putting themselves forward for the process.

The Office of the Consulate Hereby:
Inserts the following under Clause 5 of the Council Terms and Sessions Act:

i. In the case of exactly three Council Delegates putting themselves forward as prospective reviewers, there shall be no non-transferable vote and the three prospective reviewers are empowered to begin carrying out the review 72 hours after the closure of a legislative term.

ii. In the case of less than three Council Delegates putting themselves forward as prospective reviewers, the Consulate of the Republic may select willing members of the Consulate or Council of the Republic to serve as reviewers. Once a total of three prospective reviewers exist, the three are empowered to begin carrying out the review 72 hours after the closure of a legislative term.
