WHEREAS the Secretary of State (SOS) position is one of the most prestigious in Talossa bestowed with great power and responsibility, and
WHEREAS the SOS position is by norm, tradition and, based on the first whereas clause, necessity considered nonpartisan, and
WHEREAS the current SOS acts as party leader for the Free Democrats, and
WHEREAS this situation is in direct conflict with the norm that the SOS is nonpartisan and could create a potentially dangerous precedent for future SOSs who may not be as honorable and morally upright as the incumbent, and
WHEREAS this measure to address this precedent is not an effort to impugn the character, stain the honor and good work of the current SOS, or officially accuse the SOS of a crime and therefore not a bill of attainder, and
WHEREAS to demonstrate this, the proposed measure addressing this precedent will only take effect upon the end of the current SOS term.
THEREFORE be it resolved, that upon the resignation, dismissal, or death of the incumbent Secretary of State, Dr. Txec dal Nordselva, the following amendment shall be made to section 5 of Title C, so as to read:
5. The Secretary of State shall hold no seat in the Ziu. The Secretary of State shall hold no position of leadership in a political party or other partisan organization.
