Seeing as the Landsraad is currently in a state of disarray and could desperately use a hand; and seeing as Scott of Hyperborea has volunteered for the position; and seeing as the Landsraad couldn't elect a Praetor right now if they wanted to as they have no voting procedure, I hereby appoint Count Scott of Hyperborea to be Praetor to the Landsraad.

By my hand,

Kaiseress Semisa, the Resurrector: First of the Name.

Hurray!

Giddyup. Congrats, Scott. Time to show them who's boss!

(Hey, where's the whip smiley?)

Waaait...I didn't volunteer for the position, I just said I'd be willing to help change some titles of bills. You're not even supposed to BE here! And isn't Hypatia the Praetor? And isn't this the second really big job that you've conscripted me into in under three weeks? AAAAAAAH *runs away before the Kaiser can make him Minister of Trade*

*falls on the floor, laughing hysterically*

James.... nevermind... check precedures, precedents and traditions and you'll see my objections..

Hypatia resigned ages ago

Kiaserial Decree #1: Praetor

I hereby appoint Count Scott of Hyperborea to be Minister of Trade.

By my hand,

Kiaser Conglacio Zorg the Usurpper.

I'm violating the procedures right now because the Landsraad can't do it for itself. Besides, they exist as per my permission, so in times of need I'd say I'm pretty much entitled to do such a thing.

And no, Hypatia retired when I made the decree stating that the Landsraad was no more.

James.. this is the 2nd time at least you've violated the charter outright.... This I cannot stand. Has this nations just completely forgotten about law? Seriously... I see violation of all kinds left and right.. and no one brings them to my court..... grrr..

Aw man, did he? Well, that's why your in the position your in Erik!

I can't bring people to court... Especially the Kaiser. I have to have a case brought before me.

I have precedent as well.

ummm.. when??? and if you quote something I did LONG ago before we had a system of elections, I'll smack you..

I don't think the charter was meant to impeded such specific situations such as this.

Imperial Decree #66.

You quote Harvey's Kaisership..... gah....

Your Niftiness, having successfully completed my goal of clearing out the Landsraad, I petition you to hold an election for Praetor.

I do believe I shall.

[Phoenix Wright]OBJECTION![/Phoenix Wright]

How did he violate the charter when there is nothing to violate?

The Imperial Charter does not even mention the Praetor.

And in the Procedures of the Landsraad, the appointment for the Praetor is noted as:

The appointment of the Prætor shall comply with the rules for appointment of a Prætor as set down by the Imperial Charter.

But the Praetor's appointment is, once again, not even mentioned in the Charter, as the Praetor is not even in the charter!

(I was the one who noticed it... assuming that this is the full text of the charter)

Woops.

My bad. It's in the decreebook. But the Procedures of the Landsraad objection still stands - it references the Charter, not the Decrebook, so the issue for the Kaiser interfering with the internal workings of the Landsraad is still not as strong.

The decreebook is the most editable document, after all.

Bill, the charter forbids the Kaiser from.. oh fuck it....

Erik, by your logic, all decrees within the decreebook regarding the Lansraad are all null, since they affect the rules of the Landsraad. By that logic, there isn't even supposed to be a Praetor.

However, by holding up the fact that any Kaiser can reverse any past decrees as they wish, we can perserve the praetor and continue on.

People are starting to catch on.. it ONLY TOOOK A FUCKING YEAR!!!!!
