LC 2.29 The Make Peanut Great Again Amendment

[AustralianSwingVoter]

I'm sorry, a governor removed only by a 3/5 majority cannot serve in any public office ever again? This is patently absurd.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

Amendment to clarify this

and they so removed shall be ineligible to any office under this Region for an indefinite period that shall be decided by a court. not exceeding eighteen months.

I think you mean definite, not indefinite. The court cannot set an indefinite period, because an indefinite period is a period that shall never end.

Indefinite: lasting for an unknown or unstated length of time

Therefore, not forever

A far better wording would be:

7. The Council may, by a four fifths three-fifths vote of its members, remove the governor of crimes for gross negligence, high crimes, misdemeanors, or other criminal activities; and they so removed shall be ineligible to any office under this Region for a period not exceeding eighteen months that shall be set by the Regional Justice/Supreme Court.
