I, Bismarck2990, propose the following additions be made to the Consitution:

Princep's Tie-Breaking Vote:

4. The Senate shall elect from their number, by simple majority, a Princeps, who shall:

- Hold votes among the Senators on such issues as presented before them, which require a decision by majority.

- Confirm the outcome of votes among the Senators and present the outcome to the People and to those parties whom it may concern.

- Receive one additional vote in the event the Senate is unable to reach a simple majority due to a tie.

- Take upon himself all duties of the Presidency, should the President and Vice President become absent, with the special responsibility of requesting that the Supreme Court hold new Presidential elections as soon as possible.

- Organize and oversee the elections of the Supreme Court, and execute the outcome thereof.

- Organize and oversee such plebiscites as necessary to approve alterations to the Articles of Constitution.

President's Tie-Breaking Vote

5a. The President may veto the Senate once per term, on any one of the actions described in II_5, unless the Senate vote was unanimous.

5b. A Presidential veto must be made public before the President executes the action, allowing the Senate ample time to disband the office of the Presidency (per III_5).

6. The President must appoint for himself a Vice President, who shall take upon himself all duties of the Presidency, should the President become absent.

6a. The Vice President shall be considered a member of the Presidency, should the Presidency be disbanded.

7a. In the event the Senate is unable to elect its Princep without simple majority due to a tie, the President will be included in the ballot and allowed one vote. 

7b. This vote will only be used to determine the result of any tie and the President will be unable to abstain. 

7c. The President must only vote for one of the candidates involved in the tie.

That sounds good. Does anyone have any objections before this is put to public vote?

This ought to be in the Town Square, ought it not?  This needs to be discussed and voted upon by the people.

Well, we all know how shy some of the player-base has been in discussing things here in the past.   But yes, if somebody feels it would be best to make another thread pertaining to this draft in the townsquare,  by all means, do so at the earliest time.
