[Proposal] Citizenship Procedures Act (October 2018)

[New Rogernomics]

(2) The Delegate shall grant a person citizenship should the Council, having heard a citizenship appeal, confirm by three quarters vote that the person in question:
a. made the pledge sincerely.
b. has not been found guilty of any crimes in Lazarus.

I would be concerned about such a restriction that compels the delegate, which at least in simple interpretation i.e. compelling the delegate to grant a citizenship, is not constitutional.

As such this section would require not a 2/3 majority but full super-majority, as it would require a constitutional amendment to effectively place citizenship approvals at the feet of the Council of Lazarene Security.

Currently only the Assembly has the power to overturn a decision that removes a citizenship, though not to decide a citizenship in place of the Delegate.
