Any member of the Republic Council, upon receipt of a 10% petition
requesting amendment, shall have the right to propose amendment to
certain sections of this constitution.
Upon a 2/3 majority vote of the Council, such proposed amendment
may be sent to a consensus committee for drafting, approval, and
revision. If approved by the consensus committee, Parlaiment may
send it to the people by a 2/3 majority vote of their whole number
in which at least one vote in the affirmative is received from each
district.
If, after sent to the people in the next ballot, a 3/5 majority
approve, the amendment shall become a provision of the constitution
for ten years.
After 10 years the question of the amendment's permanence shall be
placed on the ballot, and if a greater majority, of a number not
less than the number having voted in favor in the first election on
the matter, of the people vote in favor of it, with the Council and
Parlaiment's approval, it shall be made a permanent part of this
constitution.
If either does not approve, the provision shall remain within
the constitution non-permanently for an additional 10 years, at
which time section 4 (IV.B4) applies again without approval.
Any non-permanent amendment to this constitution may be removed by
simple process of initiative with the exception that it must be
initiated by a 10% petition.
To deny force of law to an interpretation of this constitution by the
Supreme Court, Parlaiment need only vote by a 3/5 majority of their
whole number (with the approval of 2/3 of the council if the
decision was previously affirmed) to place the item on the next
ballot, which, if it gains a majority of the people having voted
shall forever barr that interpretation. However, no new provision
may be made in this way, and the barr shall only apply to that
particular interpretation of that specific provision and shall not
barr or suggest any further interpretation of the provision, and
that the barring or affirmation of any decision shall not affect
the outcome of that particular case.
