# Political Action Bill

## Preface
The purpose of this bill is to bring in forces that will counter-act the "meme-y" nature of our nation. While we all participate in some form, it is now time to enforce restraints that will curtail our appetites and lead us to something greater.

## Structure
1. Creation of a new role, voted in by the Residents of Mount September.
2. Political Powers created for this role.
3. Amendments to the existing political roles (Mayor, Judges).

### "National Congress" Role
- This role will exist for three months, being voted in by Residents who are Registered in the MtS discord channel.
        - Six roles will be enshrined in the Constitution.
- Residents will submit bills to the #bills discord channel, where the National Congress members will vote to accept them or not. This will be done via reactions (checkmark, x).
        - Only the National Congress role will have the rights to use reactions in the #bills channel (may have to amend existing legislation in regards to reactions).
- Once the National Congress accepts a bill for debate (simple majority vote), the details will be debated in a channel for the public to see (but not speak in).
        - Perhaps the original bill creator will be given speaking rights to help continue the bill discussion and debate (a judge can manage roles like currently).
- The National Congress will form together after 24 hours and vote on whether to send this bill up to the supreme court or not for validation. Majority vote, if there is a tie the Mayor will act as tie breaker.
        - Supreme court will be responsible for adding any amendments to the legislation; responsible for fact-checking and making sure it fits with current law.
- National Congress members will have a three month term, where their positions will then be emptied and put to a vote again. Any registered Residents may campaign to be elected into this political body.
        - Three months should tailor well to the three months for judges and two months for Mayor. Mayor has the power to break ties, which is powerful. Having an extra month over the Mayor's term should allow for organic progression without too much oversight (?).


### Political Powers for the National Congress
- Vote whether to accept #bills submissions in for further consideration.
- Able to vote to pass #bills submissions up to the Supreme Court for fact-checking and validion.
- Gives further roles for people to get involved in government.
- Allow Residents to enact a majority vote recall on National Congress members, to be approved by the Supreme Court (?).


### Amendments to Existing Positons
- Mayor will be given the power to break ties in National Congress Votes.
- Judges will be given further responsibilites:
            - Do validation checks on legislation (#bills submissions) voted to move up to them from National Congress.
            - Maintain discord roles as they are needed.
- Existing Reactions legislation in Discord may need to be amended to allow only the National Congress role to vote react in the #bills text channel.
