Section 1. Legislative Procedures
(1) Section 2 Legislative Procedures shall be amended to include:
(6) The Executive Council may grant or rescind the powers and responsibilities of the Prime Minister in this act.
(7) Only the Executive Council or Prime Minister may introduce a proposal to enact, amend, or repeal a treaty or declaration of war, and only the Executive Council or Prime Minister may make a motion to vote on such a proposal.
(8) In the event that there are multiple competing proposals regarding the same matter in the judgment of the Assembly Speaker, the Assembly Speaker will bring them to vote one at a time, in the order they were motioned to vote. If such a proposal is enacted, the subsequent competing proposals will not be brought to vote.
(9) All votes will take place for five days. Citizens eligible to vote may vote "Aye" or "Mmph" or "For," "Nay" or "Against," or "Abstain" or "Present." Voters may cast their votes by voting in self-closing polls in each voting thread. The names of the players who voted for each option must be visible to the Assembly. Voters' posts that include additional content or embellishment will be discarded and split from the voting thread.
(10) The Assembly Speaker will determine which discussions will take place publicly and which will take place privately. All new discussions must be started privately. The Speaker may then accordingly move discussions to and from the Assembly's private forum, except that the Executive Council or Prime Minister may determine whether proposals to enact, amend, or repeal treaties will be public or private. Non-citizens may comment during public discussions. All voting threads and threads discussing treaties or declarations of war shall be visible only to Citizens. All votes must be made in view of the whole Assembly.
(11) Private votes inclusive of appointment votes and general election votes, may be archived for public view by the Speaker or Forum Administration once the vote has passed or failed in the Assembly.
(12) Private Discussions and proposals may be archived for public view by the Speaker or Forum Administration if 28 days has passed with no activity in the thread or no on-going effort to move it to vote, and the Executive Council or Prime Minister of Lazarus or the Council of Lazarene Security does not oppose its release. The Executive Council, Prime Minister, or the Council of Lazarene Security may object to release prior to or within one week of the thread being archived.
