[Senate] Proposal: Amending the Constitution re citizenship

Post by Soreaa Isurui »

Senators,

I propose the following resolution
Resolution of the Senate on amending the Constitution

The Senate proposes to amend Article 4, section 2, to read:
2. All Senators must be citizens of Elwynn.
The Senate resolves to consent to such amendment.

Currently Art 3, s 2, says:

All Senators must be citizens of Elwynn and hold no citizenship or allegiance to any other Shirerithian state.

This has disenfranchised many Elwynnese with citizenship elsewhere in Shireroth. I therefore propose that this be passed by the Senate, by the Congress (IC) and by the Council of Eliria.

It does not prevent them from voicing their opinions, concerns, suggestions.

Do other Imperial States allow dual-residents?

If they do, we may want to play along nicely to not isolate ourselves.

Or we may want to retain a sense of aloof independence...

Speaking for Goldshire, I'd expect any characters residing in Goldshire to do so exclusively, but the OOC individuals behind them can reside in as many places as they wish via their other characters.

Ah, thank you :)

Then, I would be in favor of Elwynn adopting a similar interpretation.

Another way then passing this bill is to make the "OOC interpretation" as we did when we passed the constitution. Then, we decided that all RL citizens of Elwynn would be senators. We can use the Goldshire-Rakira interpretation and pass that, if that is to the pleasure of the Senate.
