Cabinet Reform Amendment (Failed)

[windjammer]

I obviously oppose the constant attempt made by Lumine to make the executive power stronger.
Just to be clear by the way, I don't believe you're a far-rightwinger or anytning like that Lumine, you seem to believe in a ultra presidential system I don't like.

[windjammer]

Well Lumine:
- your former executive order passing a budget: that's a senate duty to pass a budget.
- your law giving some GM duties to the SoEA, an office you directly control and that you could dismiss
-your amendment to the senate rules allowing the president to post in the legislative introduction thread
-and now this amendment making clear the GM is a member of the cabinet.


Oh, just to be clear, you're not malicious at all, I don't even think you realize that, but you constantly try to make the office of president even more powerful, and this is something I disagree.

[windjammer]

I won't oppose but I will propose my own amendment later.

[windjammer]

Well,
Aye

Aye

I have a last concern:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Simply,
I don't believe that the senate would be able to remove a controversial GM by a 2/3 majority. Currently, the left/right divide is 8/2. As I guess I will be defeated and maybe someone else, with the right likely regaining at least a seat for the next at large elections: in the long term, the statu quo will be 5 leftwingers/5 "rightwingers".
If the GM starts being controversial (that won't be the case for Kal obviously) and for example decides to raise unemployment rate by 4 points (yes it happened in the past), I don't think there will be enough leftwingers or rightwingers to cross party line if a 2/3 majority is needed.
That(s why I believe a 3/5 majority is more appropriate.

AYE

An another amendment that fails because of too few votes casted...

[windjammer]

Oh well, no use getting mad because of this. (That said, I hope some Senators will start voting more often at the start of the next session)

Oh just to be clear, I'm not getting mad.

It's just that's the second amendment that fails because some senators don't vote...
