Ideas for our next president!
There are a few things which are possible and which the president can achieve as far as I can see. Firstly however it is important to realise that the executive and the presidency has very little real power past budgeting, despite that it is treated as the go to guy for venting frustrations. Frankly the presidency has very little power but it has a more important role after admins recent announcement. The three thing I will be looking for from a presidential candidate are as follows:
1) A commitment to progressing passed legislation as is the peoples will regardless of their personal views. It is important to realise that the presidency is tied down by Legislation and must abide by it. This means no executive orders and no massive changes not passed by proposition first, this is especially pertinent to Merry as concerns to Post and the Court.
2) To liase effectively with Admin it is important we sit down as a nation and convey to Admin exactly what we think on a number of issues as we move to a new site. We will be going through a period of change in the coming months so we need to firstly try and conceive reasonable plans and a strategy for moving over to the new site which is effectively communicated to all citizens. These plans are in a number of areas mainly elections, the economy and Titulia city. Ideally we would want to have a all party committee convened by the president on each of these areas however it may prove impossible as the LRP and RNC have refused to attend cross party meetings from the law reform comission to the legislature commission and this leaves just under half the population out of the mix on major decisions. Its a tough call on getting these areas correct but we need ONE prop in each which brings together a concise plan, rather than a series of unrelated props.
3) We desperately need some decorum in the way we deal with each other. As a citizen who has been here 7 months or so the major problem I have seen is the willingness people have to lie, intimidate and steal for political gain it drives good people away and would not be accepted in any other state. We need to lay down laws on libel and slander through a reconvened LRC as ex AG William Tvaricvich suggested and then set a standard rule of decorum for the forums if a legislature is realized and maybe if it is not.
Thats my first thoughts. I would be interested to hear what candidates and citizens have to say about any of the subjects.

You consider slander to be a problem Owen? Why not set an example and cease slandering others and apologise and retract when you do. I'm still waiting for your apology, for calling me a liar Owen. Somehow I suspect it's all just words with you. Are you man enough to admit you were wrong and apologise? Or are lies and spin going to characterise your presidency?
Slander is a problem as is disclosing personal information in Titulia. On a few occasion I have been sent personal information about certain citizens that I never asked for. I know far too much about William Moneys, MC Daddy Ds and Nortons personal life than I care for. Disclosing personal information is against the T&C but there is an obvious reason why the court wont press these charges as Colonel himself is guilty of such things. Titulia will continue to shoot itself in the foot while the institutions of power continue to be unquestioned.
Gerry, I completely agree with you. The President is first a servant to the people. I also agree that we should have an all party committee. My idea is to have a council of all the founded party presidents until the transition is final. I also agree with you when it comes to libel and slander laws.
