[Deputy Speaker Suo]

I wish I had feedback, but I don't see anything wrong with this amendment. It has good ideas! :)

[Sage Altino]

On executive orders, will the Radial Council be responsible for cataloging these or would the Speaker since they are technically legally binding? But not laws.

[Sage Lynxi]

On executive orders, will the Radial Council be responsible for cataloging these or would the Speaker since they are technically legally binding? But not laws.

If we are going to have it cataloged I would say that it should be cataloged by the Radial Council. But that does bring up a good point. If we think that they need to be cataloged then I can alter the amendment to include something that covers it.

[Sage Altino]

I do think they should be cataloged. I'm not sure if I think they should only be active during the Radiant Season they were written in or not tho? The freedom we gave the Radiant kinda complicates that. It seems annoying to me to keep having to pass executive orders every season to establish things but also annoying to have to keep nullifying executive orders every season to cut down the way the previous Council was running things.

I thought about this when I was drafting it a good bit. I think the best idea would be to have Executive Orders continue past the point of the term ending. THen new Radiant Councils can come in, decide what they are keeping and what they are not keeping, and deal with it at that time. I do understand that it does open the executive up to a bit of housekeeping early on in their term, but it's a transition period anyways so housekeeping is the name of the game, and being a democracy in general opens the region up to a bit of back and forth between different administrations. Meanwhile, having EO's stop and need to be reissued every term feels unnecessary if they are going to continue certain services, and would likewise clog up the archives of past executive orders.

[Sage Altino]

That makes sense to me. I'm fine with this then, as long as we get cataloging taken care of. ^-^ It doesn't sound like anyone else has any qualms here. Thank you to Storm and Dissonance for being the best Circles that exist, as always. ♡

[Sage Bridgett Zeroe]

I think it would be funny for the Radial Councle to quietly fire me as a Sage.

[DruceMayne]

Looks good. The ideas are nice and is well written. Great job!
