[Daisy 9740]

*Clan Father Onar Ireheart gathers the members of the Clan Council, Hiebe Irongut, Fili Grandaxe, Tog Irongrinder and Dagor Starbreaker.*

 

"Fellow Councillors, I would like to propose the following amendment, in order to increase the power of the Council, to be lest restricted by the Lords, and more of our own council."

 

The Clan Council

The purpose of the Clan Council is to gather information and views from the different clans of the Grand Kingdom and present them to the Lord’s council. Each clan officially recognized by the Kingdom has the right to one member on the council, and it must be either a clan elder, or the clan father. This representative must be approved by both the respective clan father, and the Grand King. This person may not be on the Lord’s Council, or the Grand King himself. The Clan Council of Urguan shall meet every second elven week minimum.

In order for a clan to hold a seat on the council, they must be living in the Kingdom, be honourable, and have substantial numbers. For a clan to be added or removed from the Clan Council entirely, there must be a 3/5 vote from the Lord's Council as well as the approval of the Grand King.

A member may only be removed from his position by a vote of 3/5 of the Lord’s Council, plus the Grand King, or at the will of the respective clan father. If a member is somehow no longer a clan elder or the clan father, or if they obtain lordship or kingship, then they are automatically removed from the position.
 
Anabella's Retainer, the leader of the Clan Council, shall manage the meeting and present the views of the council to the Lord’s and King’s councils. They have no extra power, but have the right to attend and speak at King’s Council meetings and Lord's Council meetings. Anabella's Retainer shall be selected by a 3/5 Lord's vote and the Grand King's approval.
 
The Clan Council has the power to:

• Propose a law or amendment to the Articles of Urguan with a three quarters at which point it shall be reviewed by the Grand King, and implemented if approved.
• Veto any law  or amendment the Lord’s Council passes, with a three quarters vote.
• Veto a declaration of war under high crown authority or less, with a three quarters vote.
• Veto a declaration of peace under high crown authority or less, with a three quarters vote.
