Atlas House PRESS BRIEFING (important)

[Peter]

How does the President justify the existence of your job in respect of his obvious desire to streamline the number of positions available?

Further, how does he justify the necessity of "executive office" staff (Chief of staff and Press secretary) at all given the fact that these are party political positions and should remain within the Democratic party structure?

Further still, the President is against the concept of a Supreme Court, how does he intend for election disputes to be reconciled?

[Peter]

Secondly, we intend for there to be zero problems with future elections. Guidelines may be followed and steps can be taken so to prevent any sort of election fraud. If there is a major problem that requires action, we will put the power in the hands of Atlas' Citizens. We don't want a 3-member court deciding an election. We want the PEOPLE to decide elections.

What does the President say to accusations that he is effectively endorsing mob justice and/or tyranny by placing judicial powers in his own hands or the hands of the people.

We all want the people to decide elections, I just want somebody to make sure that everybody plays fair.

[Peter]

Even so, to prevent what you call "mob justice," a neutral "Atlas Election Committee" can be established to oversee future elections and such. If a vote on a certain issue needs to occur, the senate will take that vote.

This still encourages a system of mob justice, Senators are up for election every so often (at present 2/4 months looks to be the likely time frame), it will ultimately be the will of the majority that prevails as opposed to the will of what is right (although the two may on occassion be the same.

You have failed to answer an earlier question, which I will now repose: Does the President not find it slightly odd to possess two executive office staff (on top of a VP and what looks like 4/5 cabinet secretaries) whilst at the same time advocating the limiting of the number of elected positions and the seeming abolition of any judicial check and balance on his power.

[Peter]

It is written,

that the President will appoint a three-member Supreme Court, in which ALL ELECTION DISPUTES will be handled.

It is also written,

that the three-member Supreme Court will have no authority outside election disputes, as this is a forum for fantasy elections, and not fantasy government.

There. I sincerely hope both parties will agree to this.

Whilst I also hope that both parties will agree to this, I should remind you that it is the job of the Constitutional Convention, as opposed to the Presidentt, to write the Constitution.

The Press Secretary:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

The President has not been in office 48 hours and seemingly we have already had a u-turn - not very promising for a potential 2880 hour (4 months) term, by this math we can expect 60 u-turns before the next election.

[Peter]

The very concept of having two Presidential aides was in itself ridiculous (sorry Nym).
