Speaker of the Legislature Nominations shall be open for the next five days.

An individual is eligible to run if they meet the following criteria at the time of this post:
Quote:
 
1. Any person may apply for citizenship on the Regional forum by providing their current nation in the region, their current World Assembly nation, and by swearing an oath of citizenship established by law.
2. Any person who have held a World Assembly nation in Lazarus for more than a year consecutively, who are endorsing the delegate, and who have not been convicted of a crime shall be considered a citizen. They may exercise their voting rights either on the forum or through telegramming the Speaker of the Legislature or another nation so designated.
3. Any person who was a citizen of the People's Republic of Lazarus upon its dissolution shall be a citizen.




Individuals who hold citizenship under option 2 must be currently registered for a forum account.

The duties of the Speaker of the Legislature are described in this article of the constitution:

Article III - On the Legislature

1. The Legislature shall consist of all citizens and and shall be the supreme governing authority of Lazarus.
2. The Legislature may enact, amend, or repeal laws by a simple majority vote.
3. The Legislature may ratify or repeal treaties with foreign powers negotiated by the executive by a simple majority vote, unless the treaty specifies its method of termination.
4. The Legislature shall have the sole power to amend this Constitution with a two-thirds majority vote.
5. The Legislature shall have the power to recall any official of the government with a simply majority vote, or with a 2/3 majority vote for elected officials or those approved by the legislature.

7. The Legislature shall elect a Speaker to oversee its business.
8. The speaker may appoint deputies to aid them in their duties.
9. The legislature may establish a regional theme by a two-thirds majority vote. The theme may establish names for the offices and bodies prescribed by this Constitution, but such names shall not be construed as changing this Constitution's meaning.
