I like everything except the thing about a SC ruling for a month. That's too long. There would only be twelve a year... what about two weeks?

That does sound like it would be better term for giving more people a chance.

I've got a new draft (below) with the new term for the Supreme Chancellor and provisions to assert that the majority can replace any existing officer in the same way they can do so with the Supreme Chancellor.

Someone was saying they didn't want the Chancellor to be able to make motions him/herself. Should we go with that? Maybe we could say that if someone makes a motion, they cannot be the presiding officer for that motion? So in that way, the SC could make a motion, but it would have to be the Vice Chancellor or another officer to delcare that motion "passed" or "failed."

I think the Chancellor should.

Are there any other officer positions we need?

I like the idea of an archivist - someone who keeps track of official lists (the current rules, the current roster, maybe a list of motions and whether they passed or failed) on a web site; I think if we have that position it should not have a term limit. They could be ousted like anyone else by majority vote, of course. It makes our official record more stable.

Perhaps, but he should have no power other than documenting. No other power. We don't want to make the same mistakes....

-THE *DEMOCRATIC* SWC GALACTIC SENATE RULES-

Rule 1. This forum is a democracy. Each senator in the Galactic Senate has one vote. Majority rules in the Galactic Senate (GC). Every rule but this one can be changed by a majority vote. All officers recognize that their power comes from the senators and can be taken away if they don't keep the majority happy.

Rule 2. Anyone can post to this forum and become a senator in the Galactic Senate if they just post to the forum the last posted list and adding his/her user ID and the name of a planet not already represented.

Senators may resign by posting an updated version of the current list and removing their name. The GC may pass a motion to remove senators from the game and preventing them from rejoining with the passage of a motion, but only if there is proof that the user has multiple senator accounts (that is, if it appears that one person can cast more than one vote). The Senate can pass a motion to reinstate a removed senator to the current list.

Rule 3. The Supreme Chancellor has three important jobs: keeping the game fun in general, making up what's going on in the universe, and presiding over the GC.

Every other Saturday, and in the case of a passed motion of "no confidence," the Galactic Senate shall elect a senator to the position of Supreme Chancellor (SC). On a regular Saturday election day, the senator with the most votes before 12:01 the following morning becomes the new Supreme Chancellor. In a "no confidence" election, the senator with the most votes after 24 hours after the "no confidence" motion passed becomes the new Supreme Chancellor.

The Senate can make a motion of "no confidence" to elect a new SC (or any officer) at any time.

Rule 4. The Supreme Chancellor (SC) selects a Vice Chancellor (VC) when elected. The VC presides over the GC. The Senate may pass a motion of "no confidence" to elect a new Vice Chancellor (or any officer) if they so choose at any time; this election works just like the one for SC.

Rule 5. The rules shall contain an ordered list of presiding officers. This is the list now: Supreme Chancellor, Vice Chancellor.

If the GC creates new presiding officers, it will add them to this list. The Senate may pass a motion of "no confidence" in any officer at any time.

Rule 6. A presiding officer keeps track of things and announces when a motion has passed or failed due to the votes thus far. If two presiding officer's disagree on a list or on the passage or failure status of a motion, the one listed first on the presiding list has final say. If the highest presiding

*Pokes head in*

St. Anselm's Ontological Proof of the Existance of a Higher Power

1.)Define God as "that than which nothing greater can be thought."

2.)Even an atheist can agree that that definition is fair, after all, it is virtually striped of all theological implications.

3.)The idea of God exists. Therefore he is either real or imaginary.

4.)Things that actually exist are better than things that exist only in the mind
--- That is: A thought about a TV is not as good as an actual TV itself

5.)Therefore the fact that God could be just in our mind runs counter to the definition of God, for if God is the greatest thing that can be thought, he cannot be imaginary. His actual existance would be better.

6.)Therefore, by definition, God must be real and must exist.
