On 6 April 2016, Loftegen made an address regarding the absence of current Grand Commandant of the Guards Kazmr and, to the point of contention in this court, appointed Horse as "acting" grand commandant. I posit that this action is illegal under the Constitution of Lazarus, based on the following clause: Quote: (5) The Sovereign shall nominate ministers and the Grand Assembly may confirm such nominees by a majority vote. Allowing the Sovereign to appoint "acting" cabinet officials allows them to circumvent the requirement of having the citizens vote on their nomination for as long as they feel. I submit this government policy to the court for review. Edited by Funkadelia, Apr 6 2016, 09:13 PM.

I believe Horse and Kazmr were referring to my promotion of Horse to Commandant of Guards, rather than my appointment of Horse as Acting Grand Commandant. The matters are related but seperate.

Just popping by to say that this was my intention. The intention was to smooth the ability of Horse to be confirmed as Grand Commandant, as he would already be an officer beforehand.
