Here it is, the mighty EDIT Act:

Emendation of Documents Incorrectly Transcribed Act

Section I

Subsection I

The executive, or any other designated official, is hereby granted power to rectify errors found in codified law

Subsection II

An error is defined as either a typographical mistake, a clause that has been effectively nullified by more recent or higher law, or a clause inserted into the law that defied the intent of its authors

Section II

Subsection I

The Constitution is still subject to amendment by the process outlined in Article IV of the Constitution of Libertatem

Section III

Subsection I

The Board may reverse an edit made by the executive by a simple majority vote

Subsection II

Alternatively, the Department of Justice or House of Representatives may strike down an edit as unconstitutional

In science, however, "theory" is the highest value of truth an idea can obtain.

Unless some part of science changes so that we have to go back and investigate again, theories are basically proven facts.

I'd like to note that I am role playing with my nations politics. It does not represent my personal views.

I would to point out that the topic presented in the regional poll has been left nearly untouched. Intellectual Property is a fiction created by the state that has proven detrimental to both innovation and the rise of start-ups. If someone disagrees please say something. Its evident i hold the minority opinion according to the poll and am interested in why that is so.

I have my opinion a couple of days back, if you're willing to look for it you can argue with that.

Me, I'm going to bed.

I thought you were going to go with your suggestion, not mine. Either one works, though.

Listening to the Louisville Metro Police Department scanner to follow the "#LouisvillePurge". Besides from someone breaking in and threatening pizza places, a man raping a kitten, and a unconfirmed murder, nothing has happened. But, there are still five hours left.

Sometime next week, under the FFS-Lib COOP Treaty, we will be sending an Envoy (two reps to discuss our relationship and answer questions). Volunteers?

Copyright should be preserved in some form since there is no other way to ensure that artists and writers benefit financially for their work. It should be amended to last for the natural life of the author or 50 years, whichever is longer. It is ridiculous that the great-great-grandchildren of authors like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle continue to hold copyrights on works that were written not in the last century but the one before!

Patents should be severely limited or eliminated, since patent law only really protects patent trolls or large corporations that can afford to enforce their patents.

Can someone tell me what's wrong with the EDIT Act? All I want is to make it easier to edit mistakes out of laws.

Board elections are in 4 days. Announce your candidacy, brahs.

Humph, what do you think of the EDIT Act?

Pevvania wrote:Humph, what do you think of the EDIT Act?

*cough*I abstain from comment because it is a choice between expansion of executive authority or legislative bureaucracy*cough*

You'll have to be more specific. The EDIT Act doesn't seem to promote either one.

I just remembered, i can finally get citizenship!

It is something we are in dire need of, but I can't see a way to do it without giving the President the power to change legislation errors, which could be the justification for bigger problems and it could lead to trouble, or giving the Board the power to do it through an extensive process of frivolous votes. I have trouble with the execution, not the concept.

I am defending my spot on the board.

The reason I made it the executive's duty to remove mistakes is for speed and efficiency. I don't see it as any major expansion of executive power as any edit can be easily repealed by a Board or House majority vote or simply by the Attorney-General striking it down. So it positively mixes executive speediness with a democratic safeguard against abuse of powers.

Don't be ridiculous. Any edit made can easily be repealed.

Hermesgrad wrote:I just remembered, i can finally get citizenship!

Then how about go ahead and do that rather than pointing it out on the RMB where I have no power at all?

That was supposed to be in an enthusiastic voice, but I guess it doesn't carry over very well.

Pevvania wrote:Don't be ridiculous. Any edit made can easily be repealed.

Indeed. That's why I like the EDIT Act - it puts not one but multiple checks on even a hypothetical power-grab. Now that's forward thinking!

Pevvania wrote:Don't be ridiculous. Any edit made can easily be repealed.

I did not saying you were trying to be a dictator but Dictatorships are speedy and efficient. Passing a bill because of speed and efficiency is not reason enough.

The Amarican Empire wrote:I did not saying you were trying to be a dictator but Dictatorships are speedy and efficient. Passing a bill because of speed and efficiency is not reason enough.

Don't insult our intelligence, that is exactly what you were saying.

Indeed. And to claim that any attempt at efficiency on our part is fascism is just insulting - fascists aren't even that efficient.

Humpheria wrote:Don't insult our intelligence, that is exactly what you were saying.

It was not my intent to insult you.

I apologize if it appeared that way.

I will not be running for reelection.

This game is gently telling us that if we are not socialists, we are not compassionate...

Max Barry must be a Socialist then!

Hi everyone! I'm new to the region, but I've been playing NS since 2010. It looks like I might fit in here.

The Amarican Empire wrote:Max Barry must be a Socialist then!

You cracked the mystery, want a Scooby snack?

If we get time with all that's going on this month, I'd also like to get Einsiev's treason trial underway before my Presidency ends.

I respectfully ask what is the point? He has obviously moved on and forgotten about us. Why should we go threw a trial?

Welcome to 'Tatem. Buffet table is over there, and I encourage you to familiarize yourself with the Department of Internal Affairs, because it's going to be your best friend in about ten days.

The Amarican Empire wrote:Topic of discussion for today. What would the world look like if the gun was never invented?

A lot of people would have bows and spears. Oh, and swords, can't forget swords.

*whispers to people that don't hate guns*

Don't you just love it when a liberal's argument falls?

Africa would be much more primitive as Imperialism would have been harder.

#Imperialismexistedbeforeguns #AfricanImperialismbeganwithSpanishpikes

I will amend the EDIT Act to mandate the executive to list all executive amendments made, and then submit it to the Board for vote.

Humpheria wrote:#Imperialismexistedbeforeguns #AfricanImperialismbeganwithSpanishpikes

I said harder not impossible.

It was a good attempt to demonize guns and push the liberal agenda, but it was still just an attempt.

It wasn't an attempt to demonize guns it was an alternate history scenario.

The Amarican Empire wrote:It wasn't an attempt to demonize guns it was an alternate history scenario.

You know what would have happened in this alternate history scenario?

Someone would have come along and invented guns anyways.

The Amarican Empire wrote:It wasn't an attempt to demonize guns it was an alternate history scenario.

Just like you weren't saying Pev was a dictator, right?

I've added this to Section I:

Subsection III

The executive must list all edits made to legislation

Right-Winged Nation wrote:How will live up to the legacy the Pev has established in his presidency?

I won't. My administration would not be an extension of the previous admin. with a different face. I hope to maintain the success and growth brought by the President, but I will not copy his policy.

Are you a liberal Amarican?

Space Pirates wrote:Aye, two. What would be yer main goal while at the helm o' the ship? And how long would ye be intendin' to serve?

I would like to focus on the increase of our foreign standing. While I do not think that it should be a defining principle, I do think that our diplomacy should be an important issue. I also seek to get rid of any legislation from the past that the general majority of th population see as frivolous.

I will not serve any longer than a year, but I do not know how long I will be there.

It just occurred to me how many... first.. men? There will be under the Humpheria Administration lol. Also he and the VP are married.. I'm confused.

Muh Roads wrote:It just occurred to me how many... first.. men? There will be under the Humpheria Administration lol. Also he and the VP are married.. I'm confused.

Your honor, I swear that I did not have sexual relations with that Vice President.

No other questions? Does my opponent want to say something?

Humpheria wrote:Just like you weren't saying Pev was a dictator, right?

I didn't, I said that Dictatorship would make things speedy just like the edit act. That does not mean it's a good thing.

Humpheria wrote:So, today is the Presidential Debate as set up two weeks ago. Anyone have any questions for me?

What policies will you enact to bolster our military's ability to strike at our enemies? In particular, what would you do to respond to recent aggression against our allies by the Black Riders and Das Kommune?

Also, how to we build up a competent raiding force? Our last action against UCR was a pretty embarrassing failure (partly my fault).

So Humpy is basically running unopposed because his opponent has done the normal gone for an extended amount time song and dance once again.

Funkytopia wrote:What policies will you enact to bolster our military's ability to strike at our enemies? In particular, what would you do to respond to recent aggression against our allies by the Black Riders and Das Kommune?

I believe that the Das Kommune situation is a very a complex one. The most obvious answer would be to just go to war with DK, but I believe that if we worry about strengthening our military through vigorous training and intelligent tactics, we can let the socialist occupation there fail. If it doesn't we will be better prepared to deal with any of their sophomoric threats. Our biggest failure with the UCR was that we were not properly prepared for the assault and the consequences, this is something I will strive to avoid.

Funkytopia wrote:Also, how to we build up a competent raiding force? Our last action against UCR was a pretty embarrassing failure (partly my fault).

The attack on UCR helped elicit regime change, so I regard it as a success.

Humpheria, what will you do strengthen Libertatem?

Right-Winged Nation wrote:Humpheria, what will you do strengthen Libertatem?

You'll have to be more specific. Militarily? Internationally? Domestically?

Humpheria wrote:You'll have to be more specific. Militarily? Internationally? Domestically?

Your vision of strengthening Libertatem.

The UCR affair as it stands is one if our greatest diplomatic successes in history.

Humph, what is your position regarding RMB rules and/or customs? We've had some pretty extreme/indecent conversations. What would be your policy on those?

Right-Winged Nation wrote:Your vision of strengthening Libertatem.

You obviously don't understand, so I'll do all three.

Militarily- Better training, more practice, extensively thought-out tactics

Internationally- We are going to look at gaining love with our allies, and following that, gaining more allies

Domestically- We have already made strides in the Internal Department, and we aren't done yet
