ACP- PLEASE READ AND COMMENT BELOW, THANK YOU.
Mr. Bear’s Story Part 2 is now out here. There is also a contest going on. The link is on top of the Part 2 post.
During the next 6-8 weeks, a new nations page will be written. A new government will emerge from this document. Here are the big major changes coming to ACP. Nearing the conclusion of my 6-8 month term as the leader of ACP, I will announce the election for the leader of ACP. A safe and legitimate election for the leader of ACP will occur. At this time all soldiers ranked general and above will be eligible to run for the leadership spot if they so chose. Only members of ACP may run and or vote for the position and cannot be a retired, fired or suspended member. Saint has agreed to work on, and with Boomers help we will forge a new way to insure a fair and safe electorial system for the elections. Once the new leader is elected, he or she will then select the new co-leaders for his or her 6-8 month term. Before the transfer of leadership, and after the election of the new leader, the current leader will over see the election of the new senate. We will be electing 8 members of the senate, plus a vice president. You may not run for both senate and vice president of the senate, so choose your battle wisely. There will not be 8 blocks of nominees, but 1 block of all nominees, with the top 8 winning a seat in the senate. The Senate VP will also be decided in the same elections with the same rules. Once the new Senate has been elected, the new leader will then have the ability to select one ACP member to be seated in the senate. This will provide some relief from losing the ability to select the VP. As always the President of the senate shall be the leader unless he or she designates another for the position. Once the old leaders term is complete, the new leader and senate will assume their positions and begin their 6-8 month term, (length decided by the leader), untill the cycle begins anew. The Senate will be using the protocol to be laid out by Dr. Nono jr. The senate will decide all functions of the DRACP with the leader having final say unless vetoed by a 3/4 majority of the full senate. There will be no Senate decisions pertaining to the Army, I.E….War, Demotions, firings, suspensions or promosions, to include promotions to moderaters on chat, or the addition of any leadership spots. There will be tight provisions for impeachment of the Leader, to be determined by the senate in coming meetings. As any past or present leader can attest to, many decisions are made on a split second, and the advantage of hindsight becomes inherently unfair. No leader shall be forced to govern under the stress of fearing a coup or impeachment. He or she must be allowed to lead with the betterment and saftey of ACP first and formost in his or her decisions. If at any time, a problem arises that has not been provided for in the new ACP government, the leader shall first endevour to resolve it to the majoritys satisfaction, failing that, the senate shall vote and will have the binding word, only after the leader has turned the matter over to the senate VP. This new government shall begin the transition upon Saints retirement, and be fully functioning upon Dryvits retirement in 6-8 months from that date, or earlier if decided upon by the leader/senate. The retiring leader may not run for re-election to the leadership spot of ACP, how ever if selected and chooses to do so, may serve as a co leader or be elected to the senate provided he or she has not retired. No leader shall be afforded a vote in the election to succeed him or her.
