First Amendment, Third ConstRItution

Preamble to Amendment:

The goal of this amendment is, first and foremost, to justify the elevation of Internal Affairs to a Cabinet position. The Internal Affairs department is one charged with many specific tasks which appear to many members as intimidating and repetitious drudgery, and as such few seek the position out. It is a very important position, vital to many aspects of RIA administration, and cannot be allowed to go unfulfilled. For the past few months, the head of the IA department has been set in the Secretariat, a level in the RIA's hierarchy of no more power than any other appointed job. Whether or not IA should be worth a Cabinet position is in debate, and it is my hope that this amendment will apply sufficient responsibility and importance to the role of Internal Affairs to make it worthy of gaining the powers bestowed upon Cabinet members. Should this amendment pass, it also has the fortunate side effect of outdating and thus removing a large part of the ConstRItution.

Article II

Section 3

Sub-section iii
The Head of Foreign Affairs leads the diplomatic corps of the alliance. This office is entrusted with the task of maintaining a favorable relationship with as many foreign powers as possible and ensuring the continued safety of the alliance through the procurement of allies and the cessation of hostilities, both military and peaceful, with belligerent entities.

Revised(changes in bold):
The Head of Foreign Affairs(henceforth referred to as the HoFA) leads the diplomatic corps of the alliance. This office is entrusted with the task of maintaining a favorable relationship with as many foreign powers as possible and ensuring the continued safety of the alliance through the procurement of allies and the cessation of hostilities, both military and peaceful, with belligerent entities. The HoFA is responsible for the creation of embassies on the forum, the masking of diplomats from other alliances, and the assigning and directing diplomats to other alliances to initiate, maintain, and improve relations with them.

Sub-section iv
The Head of Commerce is tasked with arranging the economic affairs of the alliance through the use of aid, guides, and any other means directly related to the advancement of individual nations for the benefit of the alliance as a whole.

Revised(changes in bold):
The Head of Economics(henceforth referred to as the HoE) is tasked with arranging the economic affairs of the alliance through the use of aid, guides, and any other means directly related to the advancement of individual nations for the benefit of the alliance as a whole. The HoE determines the structure of the Treasury and directs members to move money and tech throughout the alliance.

Sub-section v
The Head of Military Operations leads the defensive branch of the alliance. All things relating to the organization of the military, research into the art of war, and passive intelligence gathering and analysis are directed by this office.

Revised(changes in bold):
The Head of Military Operations(henceforth referred to as the HoMO) determines and directs all military action in the alliance. All things relating to the organization of the military, research into the art of war, and passive intelligence gathering and analysis as it relates to war are directed by the HoMO.

Sub-section vi
The Head of Recruitment is in charge of the effort to expand the sphere of influence of the alliance throughout the world by the obtaining of new individual member states. All programs involving the recruitment of new members run through the Head of Recruitment.

Revised(changes in bold):
The Head of Recruitment(henceforth referred to as the HoR) directs the alliance's efforts to obtain new member nations. The HoR authorizes and directs all recruitment programs as one sees fit, approves the admittance of new members, and masks them.

Additions to A-II.S-3:

Rename sub-sections iii, iv, v, and vi to iv, v, vi, and vii, respectively.

Sub-section iii
Cabinet members are expected, but not required, to create subordinate positions under their respective jurisdictions, in order to facilitate the completion of the tasks for which they are responsible.

Sub-section viii
The Head of Internal Affairs(henceforth referred to as the HoIA) is responsible for the maintenance and dissemination of information throughout the alliance. The HoIA maintains a list of members to facilitate sending messages, a list of the resources of all members, and rosters of members for each non-military task force in the alliance. The HoIA is responsible for checking the member list frequently for nations no longer in the alliance, nations falsely flying the RIA alliance affiliation, and nations that no longer exist. The HoIA is responsible for the demasking and/or handling of such nations. The HoIA is responsible for the maintenance of the election board, including the creation of nomination topics, election polls, and updating the public and private election results topics. Finally, the HoIA is responsible for maintaining a list of official RIA accolades earned by members, so that members do not misrepresent their honors.

Article II, Section 4 is to be completely removed from the ConstRItution.

Article III

Section 1
For the continued protection of the alliance, the weeding out of the grossly incompetent and actively destructive members of government may be required outside of normal election processes. This should only be used in cases where an immediate risk to the alliance should the person remain in office has demonstrated itself.

Revised(changes in bold):
For the continued protection of the alliance, the weeding out of the grossly incompetent and/or actively destructive members of government may be required outside of normal election processes. This should only be used in cases where the person's position in the government poses an immediate risk to the well-being of the alliance.

Article VI

Section 1
No plan of government can conceive of all possible situations, nor can it hope to properly reflect all future attitudes of those it attempts to govern. As such, a provision must be in place to amend and successful plan of government.

Revised(changes in bold):
No plan of government can conceive of all possible situations, nor can it hope to properly reflect all future attitudes of those it attempts to govern. As such, a provision must be in place to amend the ConstRItution to suit the present needs of the alliance.

Section 2

Sub-Section ii
Once an amendment receives majority approval from both the Triumvirate it passes to the Cabinet. If the Cabinet edits the amendment, it must be passed back to the Triumvirate for approval. If it passes unchanged, the amendment may then be voted upon by the general membership.

Revised(changes in bold):
Once an amendment receives majority approval from ("both" omitted) the Triumvirate it passes to the Cabinet. If the Cabinet edits the amendment, it must be passed back to the Triumvirate for approval. If it passes unchanged, the amendment may then be voted upon by the general membership.

Major conflict:

The addition of a fifth Cabinet member changes the total number of government positions to eight, an even number. This allows for ties in government votes, which can severely delay due process. Below is the proposed solution:

A1) Change all instances of "five-sevenths" in the ConstRItution to "six-eighths"(five-eighths is insufficient, as it unchecks the Cabinet against the Triumvirate).

A2) Change all instances of "three-fourths" in the ConstRItution to "three-fifths" or "four-fifths".

Instances of "five-sevenths":

A-IV, S-4, ss-i
A-VII, S-2, ss-iii

Instances of "three-fourths":

A-VII, S-2, ss-ii
