Alksearia: Difference between revisions

All executive authority rests in the Monarch. The current reigning Monarch is King Eldras IX of House Tuvania and his wife Queen Annia of House Searia. The Monarch has the authority to exercise the law the way they see fit. They are also technically above the law since the law is executed from the Crown. Under the 1975 decree The Executive Powers, the Monarch is allowed to establish as many seats as they want on the Council of Lords and to abolish any seats on the Council of Lords. The decree also gives the Monarch the authority to abolish the Council of Lords for any reason. The last time this was used was during the Council Gridlock of 2001 when Lord Alexander II of House Emeritus was appointed the new Lord Master, and the Council voted to remove Lord Alexander II for "undisclosed reasons." The gridlock was resolved when King Eldras IX abolished the Council and then reassembled the Council of Lords in 2002 due to international tensions. King Eldras IX is also responsible for overseeing the Church of Xaethos, but this duty only occurs when new doctrine is introduced.

===The Parliament===

 

Legislative authority rests in the Monarch, but the Council of Lords (commonly referred to as the Council) may submit resolutions to the Monarch, and the Monarch may choose to decree them into law. As stated in the Executive Authority section, the Council of Lords serves at the leisure of the Monarch. Appointment to the Council is a lifelong appointment, or until either the Monarch revokes the appointment by abolishing the seat, or the Council is abolished. The last time the Council was abolished was 2001 when the Council tried to remove the new Lord Master Alexander II, but ended up in gridlock. King Eldras IX abolished the council and kept it abolished until early 2002 when he started to appoint a new Council. The first member put on this new Council was Lord Alexander II, who by default was appointed as the Lord Master. The most recent seat added to the Council was in 2008 when King Eldras IX appointed Lord Kreonious of House Illyrias as Minister of Immigration and Citizenship.
