[BILL-OOC/IC] The Leadership Act
Acknowledging That the current leadership roles in the NCSA
government hold great power,
Realizing That under current legislation a person can hold
multiple leadership roles,
Understanding That holding more than one leadership role can
create a conflict in interest,
Congress Hereby Mandates The creation of standards regulating
the conditions of the appointment of one or more leadership
roles to one player profile. It will also create a full set of
descriptions of leadership roles; their jobs and powers, and a
full list of all leadership roles in the NCSA. Congress will
also designate a ranking system to be followed in case of
dismissal, death, or removal from office.
Under current constitutional rule and congressional law, all the
following are the current leadership positions that one can
hold. The list is organized by branch, and by rank:
[list]

[/list]
[/list]
[/list]
Each leadership position has a set amount of time that they may
be in that position, known as Terms. Terms vary according to the
position that a user takes up, as well as which positions they
may take up. Below is a list of rules pertaining to the Terms.
Section I: Only certified states, or citizens of either that
state or the NCSA government, may run, vote, or participate in
any of these leadership roles. To be eligible, a state must be
the following:
[list]
[li]A member of Congress (Having a Congressional
Representative)[/li]
[li]Have their land approved by the SOI[/li]
[li]Be a member of the region, and of the forum[/li]
[/list]
----------Article I: A state is excluded from every and all
leadership roles if they are not a state, if they have
successfully seceded, if they have committed treason, or if they
declare themselves to have seceded.
----------Article II: A state forfeits their current leadership
positions if they do not follow any of the above requirements
during their term, for the remainder of their term, and until
they are found to complete the requirements. As soon as the role
is forfeited, another person must be placed into that role for
the remainder of the term.
Section II: All leadership positions are listed as having a
maximum time of sixty days after being accepted, voted, or
appointed in. The only exceptions to this rule are all three
Justices, which are appointed until life or resignation.
Section III: After serving the term in the leadership position,
a user must apply, be voted, or be appointed into another
position. All powers that were obtained during the term are
forfeited. The exception is Congressional Representative.
Section IV: No member of the Executive, with the exception of
Vice President, may hold more than one cabinet position in the
Executive branch, and may not be appointed to another position
in the executive branch during his term.
----------Article I: The President may not serve any other
position in the region during his time as president. This
excludes the Judiciary branch, as a President can be a Judge at
the same time.
Section VI: No user can be more than one Judge in the Judiciary
branch, or have a character as the AG while they are a Judge,
and vice versa. This creates a conflict of interest.

There are a few things in the bill I would like to address:
Firstly, the "The Speaker of the House is the order of Congress,
and has very little powers." What does the Member mean by little
powers? This statement is vague and could be possibly
restricting to an essential member of the House. The Speaker
should be a fluid entity having the ability to deal with
circumstances and manage the House. It seems the bill or the
interpretation of it will restrict the Speaker to a bare minimum
of powers.

OOC: Yes. It is referring to both.
And yes, that is poorly worded. Would you like it fixed?
