| [Discussion] Authority to remove Cabinet Ministers |

I was perusing the Mandate, as you do, and I noticed something which confused me.
Section IV states:
[table][cell] (4) Cabinet Ministers will serve until resignation, removal from office by the Assembly or the Delegate, or automatic removal from office. [/cell][/table]
What do you think 'or the Delegate' means in this context?

| [Discussion] Assembly Procedure Act Amendment (October 2018) |

This amendment is intended to allow for crediting co-authors and others.
While my preference is to remove the credit section altogether, I understand that authorship may be an issue. If we are to stick to the present system of writing who authored what, I would like to see this expanded to crediting people who significantly aided in drafting the law, not only the original person who had the idea.
An issue I had in writing this was where to put the credit section. Should it go at the beginning or at the end?

| [Discussion] Reconfirmation votes |

I would like to open a discussion on the possibility of reconfirmation votes for every position with the exception of the Delegate and Vice Delegate. This would cover the Speaker, Ministers, and the Justices.
I imagine we would do this not on a regular basis but periodically. Say every 4 or 6 months.
If we were to proceed, it would be advisable to spread out the reconfirmation votes so that not every position is going up to vote at once.
Thoughts?

While I still think this is rather unneeded, it won't hurt anything, so I've drafted an amendment to allow for the additional language, as Cormac had suggested. Here it is:

| [Discussion] Citizenship Act - Vote - Threshold for a Waiver |
|

As it is currently written, the Citizenship Act states:
[table][cell]
(6) The Delegate must refuse to approve an application if the applicant:
a. has not met the criteria for eligibility;
i. the Assembly may, by three-quarters vote, issue a waiver in instances where the applicant has not met the criteria
...
[/cell][/table]
Should the threshold be 'three-quarters' (75%) or 'two-thirds' (66%)?
