This constitution, written by RobotGamer__, is for the in-game nation “United_States” whose official name is the “The United States Empire”, which may also be officially abbreviated to the “United States” or “US”. The Constitution must be followed by all citizens of the United States, including all members of Government. All towns in the United States must follow the Constitution.

The constitution was last amended on the 1st September 2023 with a 13-0 vote in favour in the Senate. The amendment amended Article IV of the Constitution, and it removed the codification of Presidential elections in favour of a more flexible imperial appointment process.

Line 40: Line 42:
# The Emperor and President are responsible for holding votes in the Senate and House of Representatives. If a Senator or Representative wishes to put a bill up for vote, they must send the bill to the Emperor and/or President who must then place the bill up for vote. The Emperor and President are not allowed to refuse to put a bill up for vote.

=== ARTICLE IV - Presidential Appointment ===


# The President shall be directly democratically elected every 90 days. It is the Emperor’s responsibility to ensure the election is held fairly via the United States discord (<nowiki>https://discord.gg/U5TDCtd4WN</nowiki>).
# The Emperor shall decide who to make President and Vice President, or whether he should assume the position of President himself.
# Any citizen of the United States who has been a citizen for a minimum of 30 days may run for President.
# It is up to the Emperor whether he would like to seek assistance with this decision, whether that be by public vote, a Senate vote, both, or nothing at all.
## To apply to stand in the election, a citizen must have a running-mate who will be their Vice President if elected.
## A citizen may not stand as a candidate for President without also having a running-mate candidate for Vice President.
# All United States citizens who have been a citizen for a minimum of 14 days prior to the election have the right to vote for the President.
## Citizens who are currently wanted for breaking the law of the United States may not stand in the election. Only once they have served their punishment may they stand. See Part 4 (a), Article V and Part 5 (a), Article VII of this Constitution for how committing Treason and/or Blackmail affect this.
# The Presidential Election shall have two rounds. The first round shall see all candidates up for vote. The top two candidates with the most votes make it to the final round. In the final round citizens must vote a second time, but only voting for one of the two candidates. The candidate with the most votes wins the election and becomes President, along with their running-mate who becomes the Vice President, until the next election 90 days later. Citizens may only cast one vote in each round.  
## In the event that any round ends in a tie, a further “run-off” round is held.
## If a run-off of the first round is a tie and there are more than two candidates, then the Emperor decides which final two candidates will reach the final round.
## If a run-off of the final round is a tie, then one of the candidates becomes the President for the first 45 days in the 90 day term, with the other candidate becoming his Vice President for that time. They then swap positions for the remaining 45 days. If the two candidates cannot agree amongst themselves what order they become President, then the Emperor may choose.
# In the event only one candidate stands for President, an election would thus not be possible meaning the Emperor may choose whether or not to assume the position of President himself, or let the candidate assume the position.
