Noting the need for a strong executive in times emergency.

Be it resolved that the following amendments be made to the Constitution:

Article 9: Emergency Powers
  • Section 1: The Sovereign shall have the power to call a state of emergency at any time.
  • Section 2: During a state of emergency the current Parliament will be dissolved and elections shall be suspended until the end of the state of emergency. In its stead a Commission shall be given the power to enact policy for the nation. This Commission will be comprised of the Chiefs of Staff Committee of His Majesty's Armed Forces and a single civilian official who is to be appointed by Parliament upon the declaration of a state of emergency.
    • Subsection 1: Decisions of this Commission will be based off of a vote of the entire body. A simple majority of Commissioners present will pass a motion.
    • Subsection 2: Approval of the Sovereign is not required for a motion to pass through the Commission.
    • Subsection 3: The Commissions shall not be granted the power to amend the Constitution.
    • Subsection 4: Every motion passed by the Commission will be immediately nullified upon the ending of the state of emergency.
    • Subsection 3: Decrees of the Sovereign may overturn, nullify, or negate any motion passed by the Commission

  • Section 3: During a state of emergency the Armed Forces will assume all policing duties regardless of national policy regarding police. This will entitle the Armed Forces to: make arrests of criminals or anyone deemed a potential security risk; investigate crimes; or ask for warrants of arrest, search, or seizure.
    • Subsection 1: Requests for warrants of arrest, search, or seizure will require the permission of the Sovereign.
    • Subsection 2: The Sovereign may delegate this power to a lesser authority but the power will officially remain a power of the Sovereign.

  • Section 4: If a civilian police force is in place before the establishment of a state of emergency then the civilian police force will be placed under the administration of the Armed Forces. The civilian police will be considered to be a separate branch of the Armed Forces but will be administered directly by the Chief of the Defence Staff.
  • During a state of emergency the Rights listed in Articles 4 & 5 of this Constitution may be abridged. For any of these Rights to be restricted a motion must be passed by the Commission with a three-fourths majority and be approved by the Sovereign.
    • Subsection 1: Any restricted rights will be returned upon the ending of the state of emergency.
