       A Bill to create a Ministry of Sports to establish a sporting cu

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       [IC-Bill] A Bill to create a Ministry of Sports to establish a
       sporting culture and sports competitions in the NCSA
       Realizing: that the NCSA momentarily has no sports structure
       whatsoever
       Acknowledging: the sovereignty of each state.
       Noting: that sports are important for health, and happiness.
       BE IT ENACTED BY THE CONGRESS HERE ASSEMBLED THAT:
       Section 1.
       A ministry of sports be created by the government. This ministry
       would help NCSA states to establish a sporting culture, to
       support both professional and amateur sportsmen in reaching
       their goals. The establishment of sports competitions that
       include teams from the entire NCSA would also be the task of
       this ministry.
       Section 2.
       The ministry of sports would NOT enforce any rules/laws on
       individual states. The purpose of this ministry is to help the
       states in  the pursuit of a good sports system.
       The ministry of sports will also facilitate the
       creation/organization of NCSA sports competitions. No state is
       forced to participate in those competitions. Participation is
       voluntary and to be decided by each individual state.
       Section 3.
       By the formation of this new government agency, a Minister of
       Sports will be added to the President’s cabinet. This
       Minister would be appointed by the President himself.
       Section 4.
       The Ministry of Sports is to be established as soon as this bill
       is passed.
       Section 5.
       All laws in conflict with this legislation are hereby declared
       null and void.
       Introduced for Congressional Debate by Ditmar Lange, President
       of Diddyland.

       "Why would you need a minister? Wouldn't it be much more
       efficient to create a group of people and elect a chairman for
       that? Even more curious still... Why create all laws in conflict
       with this null and void? This is a heavy handed bill, and sadly,
       would take precious money from other budgets, like commerce,
       upkeep, public services, and the military, all very important."
       Representative Ascrith Taranis said after he stood up. "I motion
       to table this bill, as it is unnecessary, redundant, and we do
       not need another person in a place of useless power."

       Ditmar Lange gets up and says:
       "I firmly believe in this bill, in this project. I believe that
       it is a project that truly benefits the people.
       Now, the costs were mentioned. I want to state 2 things.
       Firstly, I believe that a better sports system would lower the
       health-costs in the long term, due to the people maintaining a
       better physical condition.
       But secondly, as Diddyland enjoys a incredibly strong economy
       and, once again, it is my strong belief that this project will
       have a very positive effect, Diddyland would gladly cover the
       entire 100% of the costs that the Ministry of Sports would cause
       the NCSA for the next 25 years, provided the first Sports
       Minister were a Diddyan citizen.
       I hope that this financial contribution merits your
       reconsideration."

       "It does not. It only strengthens my side by saying if a state
       can and will cover it, then the states in question who want this
       should gather together and create a group, free of the
       Confederal government's overview. Why create a whole new branch
       in the government only for the desire of two nations? Three?
       Four? And to whose interests?"

       I'm not sure what is with Section 5.
       The overall bill has West Phoenicia support as numerous nations
       have asked for sports to be included.
       You could also have approached the new President.  He has the
       ability to create new cabinet members.  Maybe he can find it in
       his heart to add a new cabinet. As VP has nothing to do until a
       Senate is created. Maybe hand ball that Sports Minister
       portfolio to the VP.

       OOC: I had downloaded a template for writing bills, and it
       included that section 5 sentence. So, thinking that it was just
       a standard clause for bills, I just left it there.
       You can ignore it if you want

       West Phonecia, constitutionally, the Vice President is required
       to hold a cabinet position (eg be secretary of something). So
       you are actually incorrect about the VP having nothing to do.

       Is there a motion to amend the bill by removing section 5?

       We would like to see a bit more support for this bill. Someone
       as Minister of Sports would be a great way to actually start
       getting things done in regards to Sports and Culture. Otherwise
       like many issues its discussed and nothing happens as no one
       moves forward with it. Sports will only up a whole lot of new
       activity especially as we seem to be just engulfed with war rp.
       We motion for this to move forward.

       I've motioned to table.
       In case you haven't noticed, if a state is willing to fund this,
       then there's no real reason to create a new cabinet position. At
       most, he'll be useless, and at worst he'll just be sucking up a
       budget. We're in the middle of two wars right now, and you can
       only think of sports?
       If you are willing to fund your own budget, then get together
       and make a group. That way, nations like MINE who aren't
       interested won't be forced to contribute money to those who ARE,
       which is really unfair. If you already have a big plan for this,
       you should do it yourself.
