However, they do not have the power to appoint or dismiss, unless a member requests removal from the alliance, or an Initiate has submitted an application and fulfilled the initiation proccess, or unless concent is given by the Chairman. If there are 2 representatives present, the 1st representative fills in for the chairman, and the 2nd representative fills in for the 1st rep. Any representative serves for life, or until 1 months inactivity. Under these circumstances, 2 days are given for compliance. If there is no compliance, then the representative is replaced.

2.E The Chairman

The Chairman is the leader of the alliance. The Chairman will command the Commission Government, maintain veto power over both and has the ability to block the election of specific government members if he or she sees fit to do so.

If the current Representative is unable or unavailable to become Chairman, an elder representative can be recalled from retirement by the government to re-assume the position of Chairman. In such circumstances the government must be in majority agreement, and must have the approval of the current Chairman and all elder representatives. If the Chairman is unavailable, approval is required from the elder representatives. If the Elder representatives are also unavailable, a simple majority vote from the government would be necessary.
