QUICK SHEET · CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERATED REPUBLIC

Article II — The Dual ExecutiveTwo separately selected executives with enumerated, non-overlapping domains — neither one is head of government alone.

Two executive domains, legislative accountability and continuity without a shared executive superior.
§2.1–§2.18
Article II + §7.4

Legat Consul

A nationally elected four-year office with a twelve-year service limit and a next-election cooling period. Commands necessary defense against active or imminent attack, including necessary action beyond the border. Other objectives require lawful authorization; treaties may authorize the action their terms require. Notice goes promptly to the Civic Consul and both Speakers. Senate review and Assembly appropriations remain separate.

§2.2 — full provision →

Civic Consul

Residual domestic executive authority; a twelve-year service limit. The Assembly replaces the incumbent only by an absolute-majority vote electing a named successor. Ordinary elections do not themselves terminate the office. After a vacancy, failure to elect within the statutory period (default twenty-one days) triggers limited acting service and the §2.6.a national fallback. If no candidate wins, nomination and election repeat.

§2.6 — full provision →

Bills and coordination

Both executives review concurrently. Civic return within ten business days suspends the bill for a month; Senate override requires two-thirds. Otherwise both chambers must pass it again, without another Civic veto. The Council of Ministers coordinates without executive authority. Assistance under §2.14.b is voluntary and non-coercive; its text imposes no ninety-day maximum.

§2.7 — full provision →

Temporary inability

Declaration or Council majority with at least five participating triggers acting authority. Ordinary restoration follows twenty-four hours after publication. A same-grounds renewed determination within ninety days needs two-thirds; restoration then needs a deciding-body majority. It lasts at most six months; continuation needs a fresh two-thirds determination. Any involuntary determination is subject to expedited independent judicial review.
