Re: Citizenship Bill
What's a "councillor" in Shireroth?
I still think the MiniImNat should be allowed to set most policy on citizenship. I wanted to have the landsraad pass some additional stuff a week ago, but not forbid the MiniImNat from doing their job.

Re: Citizenship Bill
Are they now.... huh... Then I see no reason to restrict their citizenship. The IAC has no power, at this time, that would require such a restriction.

Re: Citizenship Bill
As the IAC is a closed council of the Kaiser's most trusted, the Kaiser ought to listen to them and respect them. Also, the Kaiser may convey important information to them before they're finalized. So to minimize their outside influence or information given from them to other states, we could restrict their citizenship. Also... This also removes the tricitizenship rule from the Lawbook, instead making dual nationality allowed in certain cases, and removing the Steward from his other citizenship.

Re: Citizenship Bill
This bill is pointless to a great extent. The amendment to 2 a. is unnecessary since the Landsraad and Kaiser can always overrule a Minister. The amendment to B 2. is also unnecessary since the Steward is held to the same limitations and restrictions as the Kaiser, as outlined in the Charter. I am also a bit iffy on the subject of the Landsraad legislating on the role and powers of the Steward. Finally, B 1. removes the tri-cit limitation, a law I totally support.

OK, we can clean it up, Malliki. But how do you feel in principle?

Re: Citizenship Bill
Since amendments 1 and 3 are unnecessary and I support the tri-cit law, I'm opposed to this.

Re: Citizenship Bill
Majesty,
Instead of threatening every single bill (which you have before in different carnations) that refers to citizenship, perhaps we could have a healthy debate on citizenship, its restrictions and the loyalty of citizens to this Republic.
May I also add that before you "vetoed" it, I had withdrawn the bill.

Re: Citizenship Bill
I feel in a picky mood. The Kaiser may veto anything put before the Landsraad at any time, for any reason.

Re: Citizenship Bill
I know you withdrew it. I was vetoing for good measure.
Like I said, I will veto any bill that removed tri-cit. I'm open to other regulations, restrictions..etc. but Tri-Cit will be maintained. It is important, and while I know it doesn't sit well with some, it has good reasons to exist.
