You mean there's no Universal Declaration of Human Rights-ish part in the constitution?

This amendment would clearly delineate who makes decisions about how people can be tried, removed and appeal, so we can avoid the confusing matter that arises when these issues come up. It also seems that the constitution does a remarkable job of telling what each position is, but it gives little guidance as to what each position is limited in doing, thus creating overlap and inefficiency.

There will not be a vote on this until 27 February after the elections if I am re-elected. If not, then the next HoS will obviously have to use their discretion.

hmmm... I barely understood your remark (or maybe that's because I don't study law), but it seems good
