Any Grand Advisor who does not receive the confidence of a majority shall be recalled. (6) The Grand Assembly shall vote on confidence in the Grand Advisors every four months. Any Grand Advisor who does not receive the confidence of a majority shall be recalled. I believe that one of these needs to be removed, and I feel like it is s6. Following the conclusion of the elections is an easier time frame to remember, and makes sense as a point in time to review the people responsible for the security of Lazarus. Also; s6 doesn't stipulate whether the Grand Advisors are reviewed every four months en masse, or whether each individual Grand Advisor is reviewed every four months from when they are approved as a Grand Advisor. As a side note, when was the last time we held a vote of confidence for our grand advisors? Edited by Starberry, Feb 25 2016, 02:17 AM.

Perhaps striking both clauses is the way to go. GA's call be recalled by a simple majority vote (I'm pretty sure), so a regular vote of confidence seems a little overdone. It's not like they do a whole lot besides maintain endos and accumulate influence.

So maybe something like Quote: (5) The Grand Assembly shall have the power to recall any Grand Advisor with a 2/3 majority vote.

Not sure when the mix-up occured Also, while we're at it, an enquiry: Once Loftegen steps down, does he automatically become a Grand Advisor again? Or will he have to reapply? Perhaps this amendment instead? Amendment (5) Once confirmed Grand Advisors shall serve an unlimited term, unless recalled by a two-thirds majority vote.
