'''Section 1''' | |||
The Ziu is the only body authorized to consider and enact legislation binding upon the entire nation. The Ziu is composed of the King, the Senäts, and the Cosa. | |||
'''Section 2''' | |||
This Organic Law is the supreme law of the land. Any national, provincial or territorial laws which violate its provisions are null and void. | |||
'''Section 3''' | |||
The Ziu shall, subject to this Organic Law, have power to make laws for the peace, welfare, and good government of the Kingdom with respect to: | |||
# The repeal and amendment, subject to this Organic Law, of federal legislation made prior to this Organic Law coming into effect; | |||
# Census and statistics; | |||
# Weights and measures; | |||
# Currency, coinage and legal tender; | |||
# Appropriation, and outlays of the public revenue and moneys of the Kingdom, but so as not to discriminate between Provinces or Territories or parts thereof; | |||
# Copyrights, patents, and trade marks; | |||
# Postal, telegraphic, telephonic, radio, television, internet, and other like services; | |||
# The defence of the Kingdom, and parts thereof; | |||
# The control of the forces to execute and maintain the laws of the Kingdom; | |||
# Corporations formed under the laws of the Kingdom; | |||
# Immigration and emigration, naturalization and aliens; | |||
# Treason and sedition; | |||
# The seat of government of the Kingdom; | |||
# External affairs, including foreign trade, commerce, borders and transportation; | |||
# Matters referred to the Ziu by the government of any Province, but so that the law shall extend only to the Province by whose government the matter is referred, or which afterwards adopts the law; | |||
# Matters incidental to the execution of Federal government, without prejudice to the inherent sovereignty of the Provinces; | |||
# Symbols, flags, heraldry, anthems, cultural events and other like things of the Kingdom of Talossa; but not of the individual Provinces (the Ziu may make exception for the defence of traditional nomenclature or heraldry in place before the adoption of this Organic Law); | |||
# Disputes and relations between Provinces; | |||
# The creation of new Provinces, such that the sovereignty and territory of any extant Province is not altered without the consent of that Province. | |||
'''Section 4''' | |||
The Secretary of State shall be appointed and dismissed as specified by law, and he or she shall supervise, and shall organise the legislative business of the Ziu. He or she shall do this by administering a public venue for the inspection of legislative proposals before they become bills, “The Hopper” and by compiling and publishing the monthly legislative journal, “The Clark”. The Secretary of State has the right to appoint deputies. Responsibilities, appointment, and dismissal of deputies shall be governed by law. | |||
'''Section 5''' | |||
Any Member of the Cosa, or a Senator, or the King, or the Secretary of State, shall have the right to submit legislative proposals, and bills to the Secretary of State for consideration by the Ziu according to the procedures specified in this article, and specified by law. Within the bounds and rules imposed by law, tradition, and reason, the Secretary of State shall ensure that all legislators be allowed to submit their bills for consideration. | |||
'''Section 6''' | |||
<ref>Section blank per [[56RZ9]]</ref> | |||
'''Section 7''' | |||
All bills received by the Secretary of State during one calendar month shall be compiled into a published legislative journal, to be called “The Clark”. The Clark shall be compiled prior to the first day of the following month, and shall be published publicly on that day. The Clark shall be made available to all MCs and Senators | |||
'''Section 8''' | |||
The Clark must contain, in every edition, a Vote of Confidence. Each MC may answer this question in his Clark ballot every month, either with a "yes" or a "no." If at the end of any Clark the "no" vote outnumbers the "yes" vote, the King shall dissolve the Cosa and call new elections. | |||
'''Section 9''' | |||
Every MC and Senator may vote on every bill in every Clark through reasonable means determined by the Secretary of State, and MCs and senators will have until the end of business on the twenty-first day of the calendar month to submit their votes to the Secretary of State. An MC or senator may vote "për" (to a bill he approves), "contrâ" (to a bill he disapproves), or "austanéu" (for an abstention) on every bill. Except where otherwise provided in this Organic Law, when determining the outcome of a vote in either house of the Ziu, "austanéu" votes will not be counted. | |||
'''Section 10''' | |||
Except where otherwise provided in this Organic Law any bill which receives more "për" votes than "contrâ" votes in the Cosa and the Senäts is considered to have been adopted by the Ziu, and all other bills are considered to have been rejected. Any bill adopted by the Ziu is sent at once to the King for his assent. | |||
'''Section 11''' | |||
Every bill which passes the Ziu shall be presented to the King before it comes into effect. The King may sign such a Bill, in which case it shall immediately enter into effect and become law; or he may veto the Bill, in which case it shall be returned, with his objections, to the Ziu, which shall reconsider it in the next Clark. If, after such reconsideration, two-thirds of the Cosa agree to pass the bill, or the part of the bill objected to, with the approval of the Senäts, it shall become a law over the objection of the King. If a bill vetoed by the King in a certain term of the Cosa is passed by a simple majority of the Cosa and the Senäts in the subsequent term of the Cosa, the bill shall become law over the King’s objections, and cannot be vetoed. If the King neither signs nor vetoes a Bill before the last day of the month in which it was passed by the Ziu, he shall be deemed to have signed it. | |||
'''Section 12''' | |||
The next Clark will publish the votes of all MCs and Senators on every bill, and which bills passed or failed, and by how much. | |||
'''Section 13''' | |||
The Ziu may prepare referenda and submit these to popular vote of the people as it sees fit. The referendum may be advisory (a non-binding public opinion check) or may have the force of law upon its approval by a majority of those who vote on it. Referenda questions appear on the ballot during the next general election, or sooner, if the Seneschal so chooses to authorise. | |||
'''Section 14''' | |||
The Ziu is prohibited from passing ex post facto laws and Bills of Attainder, or from concluding military capitulations or surrenders. | |||
