The case will then be reviewed by the President (or Vice-President if the President is unavailable) and if approved, will be submitted to the Senate. 3. The President The President is the leader of the alliance. The President will head the Union Senate, maintain executive power over the passing of laws and has the ability to block the election of specific Ministers with reason. Should the President be unable to fulfil his duties, the Vice-President will take-over the his position until his return. The Vice President will be the designated successor to the President until the next election. The President serves for as long as the people elect him into power. If the Vice-President is unable, unwilling or unavailable to become President, an immediate election will take place to replace ALL ministers. If the people are unable to elect a President or Vice-President, the process shall loop itself until the FULL Cabinet is formed. Should the Union be involved in a major arms or Nuclear conflict, the President and Cabinet will remain in power until the War has ended. The President has the power to throw anyone out of the Union who is deemed a Mole, Security Threat or One who has gone against the Oath. He can be overruled by the Union should the Defendant recieve a 75% vote of the Union Senate. 4. Ranks of the Union The Union is structured in this manner- The President The Vice-President The Cabinet Ministers The Vice-Cabinet Ministers Generals/Spy Master Commanders Lieutenants Captains Senators Recruits Diplomats are not part of the Chain-of-Ranks due to their Observer Status. Part III: Diplomats & Ambassadors Ignore this if you are NOT a Diplomat or not part of the Foreign Ministry. 1. Diplomats Any Foreign Nation may become a Foreign Diplomat on behalf of their alliance (Note: Read Section 2 Below). A Diplomat will have an Observer status in the Senate and will be the messenger between the Union and his/her alliance. The Diplomat will be subject to the same security checks as per all other Nations, but can be ejected during times when the Union is at War with the Diplomat(s) Alliance or Allies. There may only be a maximum of 5 Diplomats from a single Alliance at a time. They are not subject to any ZI laws or punishments (unless found guilty of Treason). 2.

Part IV: Expulsion from the Union Any nation can submit a motion to expel a fellow member from the Alliance to the Cabinet. The Cabinet will review the case and may dismiss the case if it is deemed to be false or not in the interests or security of the Union; an elected Minister may also exercise the right to immediately expel the accused in the interests of security as per Article II.2 as can the President (or Vice-President in certain cases) as per Article II.4. The accused nation will be given 36 hours to respond to the accusations. The Cabinet may extend the time for response, investigation, and deliberation if it so wishes; afterwards a vote by all Union members will be taken in which all members may vote on expelling the accused. In order for the motion to carry 85% of the member nations must vote in favor of the expulsion. There will be a time limit of 24 hours on expulsion votes. If the percentage is not reached before the time limit, the motion fails. The President, Vice-President and Elected Cabinet cannot be expelled from the Order. Likewise, the President can pardon any nation from expulsion with a Presidential Pardon. Part V: Amendments to the Order

Any member can submit a motion to amend the Order to the Senate forum. Part II.3 and Part V are permanent and cannot be ammended (Except with authority from the full Cabinet). Discussion will take place for a period of no less than 12 hours but no more than 48 hours. If an overwhelming majority (defined as 85%) of the member nations agree with the ammendment, before the 48 hour time limit is reached then the change will be considered passed and carried. If it does not reach the supermajority before the 48 hour limit the motion will fail, but can be re-submitted in the next 48 hours to an appeal Senate. Once again, all members will vote, and should the Ammendment fail, it will be dismissed and can no longer appeal or force change. The President has no power over the change of the Order but is allowed to vote, like all other members.
