Citizen Admittance Assistant Amendment

Proposed by: @Imaginary

Preamble

This amendment allows the Delegate, with the approval of the Assembly, to authorize an assistant to accept new citizens.

Section 1. Amendment of the Twelfth Mandate of Lazarus

(1) Section 4 of Article II shall be amended to read:

(4) The Delegate may admit residents of Lazarus to citizenship. The Delegate may, subject to confirmation by 50%+1 vote of the Assembly, authorize a citizen to admit residents of Lazarus to citizenship. The citizen will remain so authorized until relinquishment, termination of the authorization by the Delegate or 50%+1 vote of the Assembly, or automatic termination of the authorization upon loss of citizenship. Further procedure for citizenship admission, including procedure for appealing rejection of a citizenship application by the Delegate, criteria residents must meet in order to be admitted as citizens as well as criteria for maintenance of citizenship and enforcement of such criteria, may be established by law.

The Democratic Reform Amendment removed the Delegate’s ability to appoint Ministers to help with regional tasks. While this allowed the government to become cooler in some ways, it has hurt the citizenship process. Cit apps have been waiting for consideration over a week... I think it’s not really working out to have something so critical for the advancement of the region that continually needs attention resting only on one person’s shoulders.

I'm looking forward to y’alls thoughts on this! ^-^ (I think it’s my first legislation proposal thing so excitement :o)
