National Secular Principal - Level 2

 

The National Secular Principal (NSP) is elected through Union Voting as is the Senior National Secular Assistant Principal (S-NSAP), whose primary purpose is to fill the role of Acting National Secular Principal through seniority upon death, termination, or quitting by the National Secular Principal, and also the Junior National Secular Assistant Principal (J-NSAP)

 

The National Secular Principal can attempt to quit his or her position, but it is up to the Thirteen State Supremacy to accept the resignation with a majority of the Thirteen State Supremacy vote and a majority of states in the Thirteen State Supremacy voting in favor of acceptance for the resignation to take effect else the National Secular Principal remains.  If accepted to quit by the Thirteen State Supremacy, then a new selection will be exercised within 90 days.

If the Chief of the Supreme Court of the United States of America can not break a tie for whatever reason unless that reason is listed in the Constitution, then the National Secular Principal will do so. 

 

Secular Righteous Orders are generated from a weighted points decision making system from 30 random individuals, Federal Government, Thirteen State Supremacy, Direct Democratic Union (DDU), Presidents of Senates, Speakers of Houses, Formal Inquiry Board, Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), Junior National Secular Assistant Principal. Senior National Secular Assistant Principal, and the National Secular Principal. The National Secular Principal’s decision is worth 10.6 points.  The Senior National Secular Assistant Principal's decision is worth 1.40 points as is the Junior National Assistant Principal's decision. Eligible European members in the Direct Democratic Union (DDU) will be placed in a pool and randomized each calendar month. 1 DDU member will be chosen to represent Europe.  The 1 DDU member’s chosen leader's decision is worth 2.209375 points.  Also 1 random (changed each calendar month) DDU member will represent Asia and Oceania (must be located in either of these regions) and that 1 DDU member’s chosen leader’s decision is worth 2.209375 points, then 1 random (changed each calendar month) DDU member’s chosen leader’s decision in Africa (must be located in this region) is worth 2.209375 points, and 1 random (changed each calendar month) DDU member’s chosen leader’s decision in The Americas (must be located in either North America or South America) is worth 2.209375 points if selected.  The Supreme Court will be picked randomly from 3 separate pools where each picked for the calendar month will decide outcomes and their majority decision is worth 10.125 points. If a tie then the 10.125 points are awarded to the highest ranking judges’ decision. The group of persons which make up 30 random individuals where they vote as a bloc for which positions in the SRO counsel will receive their share of 27.50 points.  The Highest vote getter for the topic will receive 11.50 points, the second highest will receive 8.50 points, the third highest will receive 5 points, and the fourth highest will receive 2.50 points.  If a tie then add up their points and evenly distribute to the required position.  Next, is the award of 5.0625 points to the President of the People’s decision and 5.0625 points of to the President of Righteousness and American Values, and finally if a random (calendar month) Governor of the Thirteen State Supremacy of which 5 points is granted to their decision.  The President of the Senate of the People is awarded 3.625 points and also 3.625 points awarded to the President of the Senate of Righteousness and America Values.  Speaker of the House of the People’s decision is worth 1.4375 points as is Speaker of Righteousness and American Values. A Formal Inquiry Board of 9 members where 2 are static worth 1.6875 points each and 7 are randomized from their respective pools (calendar month) worth 1.25 points each.  The Formal Inquiry Board leads discussions.  Finally, going second to last in the decision making order before the National Secular Principal is Artificial General Intelligence, being its decision is awarded 2.7625 points, where the Depth Node is set to Max and will have at least 5 minutes to make its decision, but the time allotted is set by the National Secular Principal depending on the question at hand. All points will be added up at the end of all decisions accounted for and the majority will produce a Secular Righteous Order (SRO).  After tallied, the decision with the highest point total is enforced.  If there is a tie, the decision of the National Secular Principal is enforced.  If the tally had the first choice and second choice within 20 points then not only is a SRO required but also a dissent. Each will list up to 3 reasons for their opinion and can be used to assist Union Voting.   If the winning tally was less than 60% of the total, then an automatic Union Vote will commence to attempt to invalidate the SRO.  If unsuccessful, then the SRO is enforced for 12 months.  SRO Council decision (there are a total of 100 points possible) trumps and supersedes the National Secular Principal’s decision and God's decision.
