Government

Structure

The Michigan Government is divided between 2 branches, a supreme Legislative and Executive. The Legislature consisting of the Michigan House of Representatives, an elected body of residents tasked with creating laws and holding the President accountable. The Executive consists of an Elected President and Vice President responsible for running the nation on a daily basis and acting as a figurehead for both citizens and foreigners. The Constitution of Michigan provides the foundation which the government rests upon outlining how the nation should operate, what powers are granted to which entities, and granting citizens rights and protections from the government.

Altering the constitution requires 3/4 of the entire House and 2/3 of present citizens to assent. the House with a simple majority and the Presidents approval may pass laws or acts which are enforceable as long as they do not violate the constitution. The President alone may issue an executive order which are enforceable as they do not violate an existing law, act, or the Constitution. All Executive orders, Acts, Laws, and the Constitution are public to the entire server so as to maintain transparency.
