[Proposal] Cabinet of Lazarus Amendment

[New Rogernomics]

My suggestion implicitly allows the Delegate to create new ministries without approval. The Assembly Procedures Act doesn't apply to procedures that don't require Assembly input.  If the Assembly wants to sign off on the creation or elimination of ministries, then we need to decide how ministries will be written into law.

We can either pass the Ministries Act and add/remove ministries through amendments to the act, or we can include a clause about ministries in the "Assembly of Lazarus" section of Mandate 12 and pass the Ministries Act as an annex. I think the second option is better.

That isn't what I would want with this amendment, as others are discussing possible major constitutional changes beyond this. 

Some of these would make the Delegacy a security position, without a political role, while others would make the Delegacy an elected position, so you can understand the issue of passing an amendment that implies that the Delegate can approve a Ministry at will.

My general position is to pass some version of this amendment that allows for elections of the cabinet, then pass some version of the Ministries Act alongside an Elections Act that does the specifics of how elections are held.

I am less inclined to placing a lot in a mandate that people are seriously debating heavily modifying, and more inclined to just have separate acts to deal with the specifics.  

Effectively, it wouldn't be far-fetched to suggest that by the end of the year we have a Mandate 13/14. 

So it is more likely that this will be a short-term amendment, rather than a long-term one.
