2 - Reasons
(1.)The Government requires an unbiased Prosecution body to prosecute on behalf of the government and defend it as a whole.
(2) Currently the Attorney General Acts as a personal Lawyer to the President and their administration, this has caused division within the government on several occasions as the Attorney General is often obligated to defend the President and not the Government as a whole.
(3) The Legislative and Executive are in need of their own legal counsels.

3 - Amendment to Section III - The President & The Cabinet

(1) Amendment to the the Order of Succession:

(2) Amendment to the Role of the Cabinet:
Role of the Cabinet.
The Cabinet is a group of advisers to the President known as secretaries & Executive Officers, who collectively administer and guide government decision-making and policy. The body holds no power outside of department & office policy, instead, it derives its power through advising the President.

No person shall hold the position of President, Vice President, Secretary, Executive Officer, or any other Principal Officer position simultaneously with a position as Representative or Senator.

(3) Amendment to Secretaries:
Secretaries & Executive Officers
Secretaries are members of the cabinet who each lead a government department or portfolio. It is the Secretary's job to oversee the efficient operations of their department and to create and amend department policy in conjunction with the Government's direction. They appoint and dismiss employees of their respective departments.

Executive Officers are members of the cabinet who each lead executive offices, it is the Executive Officer's responsibility to oversee the efficient operations of their office and to create and amend office policy in conjunction with the Government's direction. They appoint and dismiss employees of their respective departments.
Executive Offices and Officers are required to remain unbiased, impartial and are required to defend the constitution and the laws of the commonwealth over the will of the current administration and president.


Secretaries & Executive Officers are nominated by the President and approved by the Senate, continuing to serve at the pleasure of the President. A Secretary or Executive officer may be removed from office should they be impeached by the House and removed from office by the Senate.

Presidents-Elect may nominate Secretaries and Executive Officers, still approved by the Senate, preceding their inauguration. These nominees may only take office as Secretaries & Executive Officers following the inauguration of the President-Elect.

The Office oversees the Redmont Bar Association and is charged with the employment of Prosecutors and Office employees. The Office of the Attorney General while an executive Office is to act in an unbiased fashion, No member of the Office of the Attorney General may legally represent or assist in intergovernmental dispute between the Legislative and Executive.

This bill has been vetoed for the following reason(s): The AG already has all these powers, why create an entirely new designation for Cabinet members? The existing distinction between Principal Officers and General Advisors works perfectly fine.
