America- founded in 2003
Constitution of the United States Of America
This nation is set up as a democracy. It has 1 president and 1 Vice President.
The President is the only member who can ask congress to go to war. In order
for him to pass a bill or amend this constitution he must first seek the approval
of the US Congress.
This constitution is the foundation of this nation. If any President fails to obey this constituton, he will be removed from power with the vote of impeachement. This is set up to live longer than any President will be in office and will only change if an amendment is made and the vote is passed by the congress. I keep a copy of
this so i know that nobody can change it without permission. I update it each
time it's updated...

Laws-
These are made up by the Executive branch and voted on by the

1) No state shall have any power in the USA nation or forums unless he is
a USA member. In the event that you are a USA member and leave to
join another nation, you forfit all your rights and powers in the USA.
2) Only USA members can vote in the election and only USA members
of 2 sets or more can run for President. In the event you are a normal
USA member who leaves and then returns, your previous time played
will be accounted for.
2b) A member must be in the USA to run for govt office. Terms of time
are listed in section 2a
3) This nation is set up as a democracy, if at any time the President
wishes to change it to a dictatorship then he must submit the bill
to congress and gain 100% support from them. If one member votes
no, then the bill is no longer. If all members agree then this constitution
will be null and void, and a new one will be written.
Elections
A) Every 2 sets the USA has elections for the Presidents job. Any state who has been a member for 2 sets may run for this office. New Presidents are elected by the other members of the nation or said congress. Before accepting the position, the elected President must take and oath of office and swear to uphold it.
Executive Branch-
President
Vice President
Chief of Staff
Sec of State
Sec of Defense
Dept of National Security
The President is the only position elected. he appoints his
cabinet members as well as the Vice President.
National Security-
The only time the President has the power to bypass congress
to go to war is if there is a immediate threat to national security and time is
a major factor. After war is declared and the war is over, congress can then go back to investigate the the reason for war, and if it is proven that the President used this to gain any cause other than stated, he can be brought before a congressional hearing and or impeached.
War-
The President must ask congress for there support before any war declaration is made. It will come before congress in a poll, and then they will vote yes or no on the request from the president. The only time this section is bypassed is for national security issues only. The President must give congress atleast 48hrs to make there vote. The President can call an emergancy congress meeting if approval is needed faster.
National Security Breakdown-
The President truly believes that this nation will soon be attacked.
A member of the USA has been caught for being a spy and we must destroy the nation he is reporting to.
Each of these issues can be questioned by congress AFTER all the war issues are complete. We must wait till they are over so there is no major conflicts during the importance of battle.
Attacking for land-
The more land you have the better you do. But you have to obey certain national
rules that apply.
-You CANNOT attack the same target more than 2 times in
a row in a 36 hr period and this includes failed attacks.
- The only attack you can use for land is SA (standard attack)
all other attacks KE AR AA GA are used for war time only.
The punishment for failure to obey these rules will be dibandment and or
death to your state.

Amendment-5
Sept 27th 2005- Presidential Terms
This amendment by the US congress changes the terms a President is
able to serve. His terms are 2 sets and able to run for re-election. If he
wins then he is able to serve 2 more sets, but then is not allowed to run
for office of the President for 4 sets.
Section B
If the President serves 2 sets and loses re-election he is able to run again in the next election but may only serve his last 2 remaining sets before stepping out for 4 sets.
Section C.
If the President invokes the 25th amendment of 1967 after only serving
1 set then he is still able to resume his Presidency upon his return with
the time gone not counting against him. The President can only invoke
the 25th amendment for 1 set out of his term. If he is gone longer then he will
forfit his position and the Vice President will act as President till the term expires.
The Vice President must take the oath of office before he can become
President.
Section D.
The President may only invoke the 25th amendment of 1967 ONCE in his
Presidency. This eliminates the possibility of him using the 25th to his
advantage of extending his time in office. If the 25th is invoked then the
total of one set will be added to his term in office.

Amendment 6
Sept 27th 2005-Reasons for invoking the 25th amendment of 1967
To assure that the President is serving his country with honesty, there has
to be solid reasons to invoke the 25th. Some of the main reasons are:
-If there is a family emergancy
-If the President becomes ill
-If the President feels he can not provide the nation with 100% of his
attention due to real life issues.
If the President needs to invoke the 25th amendment then he must
write a letter to congress giving his reasons why he needs to step out.
Upon receiving this letter the congress will hold a meeting to discuss
the reasons and make a decission on if they are valid reasons. If not
then the congress can vote for impeachent, and if passed the President
will be outed from office and the Vice President will act as President for the
remainder of the term.
Amendment 7
Sept 27th 2005-Impeachment
This is a vital part of this democracy. If the congress of the US feels that
the President is not providing this nation with 100% of his job duties then
they can take a vote on impeachment. If Impeached the President will be
removed from office and the Vice President will act as President after taking
the oath of office. If the Vice President denies the job then the Chief of
Staff will assume the President role. Reasons for Impeachment are as
followed:
- Abandonment- If the President takes a leave of absence for 3 days or more
without written notice to the congress of the US then he will be removed from
office.
- Invokes the 25th more than once
- Invokes the 25th for illegal reasons
- The congress of this nation feels that his leadership is so bad we need to
remove him from office.
- The President breaks any of the laws provided in this constitution.
If the congress of the Unitd States asks and passes the vote of Impeachment
they will empower Mr President to remove the President from office and
assign all powers to the Vice President or next in line if the Vice President
declines the job. If Mr President is the President and the congress votes to
impeach him, he is ordered to hand all privs to the Vice President or next in
line if the Vice President declines the job.
Amendment 8 Feb 2006 Temp ban on Elections
Due to major conflicts, the President has the power to invoke a temp
ban on all elections. Said ban is only good for one year after the date
it is issued. After the 1 year, the President must submit another report to
congress seeking there approval for another temp ban. Congress will decide
how long this ban will take place for.
Amendment 9
Jan 22 2007--Introduction of the US Senate
The US Senate is a 4 member group with one of the 4 being the Majority
leader. The Majority leader speaks on behalf of the rest of the Senate
as well as Congress. The US Congress votes who they want in the Senate
and once in place, the Senate votes who they would like as the Majority
Leader. Members of the Senate serve 2 terms. (2 sets) Members of the
Senate can serve for as long as they are elected.
The Majority leader will sit in on the first 15 min of all Cabinet meetings to
discuss changes the Congress and Senate would like made. The Majority
leader is the highest ranking non Govt position in the United States.
In the case of a tie vote within the Senate, the Vice President will be the tie
breaker, as he resides over the US Senate.
Like Congress, the Senate has the power to veto any bill the President passes
and the President has the power to veto any bill the Senate passes. In this
case, we would resort to
Amendment-1a- June 16th- Power to the
congress to veto
Amendment 10
Jan 2007-
A member must first serve as either a Cabinet member and or Majority
leader before being able to run for President.
