ARTICLE II: The
Executive Branch of the Federal Government
Section
1
Executive power
shall be invested in a president of the United States. His or her term of office will be four years,
the same 4-year period in which Federal Legislators are elected. The president will choose a Vice President
who will serve in the president's absence.
Presidents will
be selected through the Instant Runoff Voting method. The 7 largest national political parties will have primaries beforehand in order to pick
a presidential candidate. Presidential
voting should occur over a weekend on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to make it
more convenient for voters. Presidential
debates must include all of the top 7 political parties. In early stages of the official debate, any
national political party that has at least 1% of the eligible voters, has a
right to share its viewpoints.
If a president
resigns, dies, is impeached, or is unable to hold the office, then the vice
president will replace him. If the vice president is unable to serve at
that time, the order of succession will be the Speaker of the House and then
the Secretary of State.
The president's
salary shall be 7 times the federal minimum wage. The president cannot accept money, expensive
gifts, or fringe benefits from citizens or corporate lobbyists before, during,
or after his or her term of office. Such
money or gifts would bias his or her decisions.
The president
shall be Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States and also
of the National Guard of each state. The
President cannot execute troops on a moment's notice unless there is a national
emergency.
The president
cannot make a declaration of war, unless 60% of the Federal Congress
approves. All past executive orders or
presidential directives made by presidents must be fully disclosed, simplified,
and clarified. Then they must be
re-written by Congress and approved by a majority of the Congress. It will now
be considered unconstitutional for a President to implement executive orders or
presidential directives, unless the members of the Federal Congress have
examined, rewritten, and approved them beforehand with a 51% majority. Then they can be added to the federal
statutes and summarized for the American people.
