Propositions

What do you want changed? I'll discuss this with my VP and we will have debates here. If a proposition gets enough momentum here it will be voted on.

Consecutive term limits? Can the President run for re-election as many times as he/she wants, or is there a set maximum of terms that the President/VP can sit?

IRL, I personally strongly dislike the current Presidential term limits. I, Mr. President, propose that we do not set any term limits.

That's what this is here for, debate.

I would like to think about this one before I give an answer. Great proposition RR.

One month term limits maximum. Can serve for a maximum of one re-election.

We already have the term length at two months, I thought... But not allowing the President to be reelected more than once is restraining on the people's rights to have who they want as President.

I knew about the actual length of each term, I was referring to the number of consecutive terms one can attempt to hold office.

Two, maybe three at the most, in my opinion.

I'd like to propose full administrative powers for all substantially active members. There's no reason all the power should be in the hands of a few.

There's also no reason that have that many cooks in the proverbial kitchen. Most, if not all, requests of the members are met by the government, and if they aren't that's only because said requests would be in direct conflict with someone else's, and the President sides with that other group.

define 'administrative powers'.what powers do the admnistrators have? why should we have these powers spread to everyone?

I disagree with the proposition of a term limit. I think it's non-conducive to the democratic process, and if one is doing very well in a position, it shouldn't be a formality that forces him out of office.

If he doesn't do a good job, then he will be voted out.

Also, against the idea of full administrative powers for all. That's just unnecessary and could lead to shennanigans. That's why admin exists.

I'm not for term limit. This concept in fact, was introduce in US not for real democracy reason but because candidates to be president are old. I think it was introduce after Roosevelt who was President, but old and sick.

This is not the kind of issue we will have in Free Society. Why a member who is a good president cannot be elected by members x times if they want him / her as President?

This is correct. The Amendemnt to the U.S. Constitution was ratified while Truman, Franklin Roosevelt's Vice President and therefore the succesor if the President did not complete his full term for any reason (resignation, death, etc.). Before Roosevelt's election to the Presidency, it was an "unwritten" law that the President only be elected twice because George Washington, the First President, did not seek a third term. In fact, both presidents Uylesses S. Grant and Theodore Roosevelt (Franklin Roosevelt's cousin) sought a third term and were servely attacked for it. They both lost miserabley. So after Franklin Roosevelt was elected four times, instead of keeping it an "unwritten" law, they actually made it a "written" law. I feel that it is extremely unfair to the American people. If they was someone to be President for 100 years, then the constitution should allow it.

Thank you for this complement of information, LowerLand. Interresting, really.

Of course. I have a wealth of knowledge in that subject.

Voting on this Prop. starts today and ends next Sunday. Let the voting begin.

Are we voting here or in the voting booth forum?
