Section C: Heir to the Throne.
a. Before the end of zir reign, the Kaiser must pick a successor from among all living individuals eligible by birthright.
b. The Landsraad may vote to reject the designated heir, at which time a new heir must be chosen.
c. Should the Kaiser die or abdicate the throne, the Kaisership shall pass to zir successor.
d. Should no heir have been chosen, the successor shall be chosen by the Landsraad with consultation of the Arbiter.
This would not strip the Kaiser's power to appoint an heir, but it would grant more power to the nobles of Shireroth, and thus it's people in who shall rule next. It is my hope to use this as just one of many changes that will encourage participation in the nation. I didn't make it an outright confirmation vote, in case the Landsraad was MIA.
