Their duty is the protection and advancement of the alliance. Co-Chancellors retain the right of veto on all high council votes. Co-Chancellors have the power to declare war against rogue nations on the behalf of the MCXA if members of the MCXA come under attack due to rogue activity.

Term of office: The individuals of the Co-Chancellors shall remain in their positions permanently until they resign or are impeached. Successors are appointed by consent of the current two and the High Council. Impeachment calls for immediate expulsion and privation of the right of the expelled to appoint a successor. B. High Council i. Membership: Members: The High Council shall be comprised of 13 members. The first two members are the Co-Chancellors, the next two members will be appointed by the Co-Chancellors. Nine members are then elected into the council by the General Assembly. Voting period lasts for 4 days (96 hours). In the event of a tie, there will be a run-off. ii. Duties: The High Council is the final arbiter of any disputes and can issue binding rulings on any matter pertaining to the MCXA. The High Council retains sole authority to: Nominate candidates to hold Department Head (aka Minister) positions to be presented to the Co-Chancellors for purpose of approval by election of the High Council.

A vote of AYE/NAY in the High Council Chambers within 1 prescribed thread shall suffice. Official votes conducted on IRC must be documented on the forum with confirmation from 3 High Council members that the vote took place and is valid. Voting Period in the High Council shall be 48 hours unless otherwise stated within the Charter. Exceptions to the 48 hour rule are: 9/13 (2/3 majority) for or against the proposal - the poll/vote shall remain open for a period of not less than 24hours, regardless. A unanimous vote for affirmative or negative - the poll/vote will then be considered closed. Declarations of War because of treaty obligations, "defensive actions" or "requests from allies", require 24 hours or a 9/13 vote (2/3 majority) before the poll/vote shall be considered closed. iv. Term of Office/Vacancies: Elected members of the High Council shall serve terms of 2 months. Terms of office shall be extended if the MCXA is at war (Declaration of War against an Alliance) until such a time that peace has been restored or; The High Council shall hold a vote, passed by majority, to petition the Co-Chancellors to proceed with the elections if in their opinion the conflict has been resolved sufficiently to the point that the alliance is in no imminent danger. The Co-Chancellors retain the power to veto the petition. (Note: The war restrictions on High Councilors terms override vacancy legislation) In cases of a High Council member being impeached, resigning, or without notice being inactive for a period of more than two weeks, then the follow succession takes place: If elections can be held and finalized prior to 14 days before the next High Council elections, a supplementary election will take place. Candidates have 48 hours from the announcement of the vacancy to declare their candidacy. After this, a poll with all declared candidates (max. 20 - due to poll restrictions - unless we come up with a better method) will occur for 96 hours, by then the member with the most votes assumes the High Council position. If there is less than 14 days remaining, the High Council may choose to leave the seat vacant until the next election cycle. They may hold an election anyways, subject to a majority vote in the High Council. The Co-Chancellors may call an election for replacement at any time if there is a vacancy. C. Department Heads (aka Ministers) Qualifications: Any member of the alliance may campaign for or be recommended for a Department Head (aka Minister) position. After deliberation over potential candidates, a Department Head (aka Minister) shall be chosen by the High Council. Members of the High Council may serve as Department Heads (aka Ministers).

Ministers are responsible for appointing their own staff and subordinates. Ministers are also in charge of constructing a document of laws for their ministry’s concern. These laws must be approved by the High Council. Term of office: Ministers shall serve terms of 2 months. D. General Assembly The General Assembly is the aggregate body of all member nations, each holding one vote in the event of referendums, impeachments, and elections. E. Elections Co-Chancellors: In the event that one of the Chancellors should vacate his position, successors are appointed by consent of the current two and the High Council. If the individual feels they would like to have his successor voted on, he holds the right to conduct a ballot for candidates. These candidates must be approved by the High Council. High Council: On the second Friday of every other month, the elected members of the High Council will face re-election. The Co-Chancellors will accept nominations for the High Council and formulate a list of candidates. The final list of candidates will be submitted to the General Assembly, followed by a 4 day (96 hour) voting period. The candidates with the most votes after 96 hours will become members of the High Council. F. Impeachment Chancellor: In this event, the Chancellor will have no vote and the Co-Chancellors have no veto power. A super-majority of 9/12 will be required to impeach. High Council: Any member of the alliance may petition to the Chancellors to have an elected member of the High Council removed from office for treason or other offenses similar to the conditions for expulsion. If a vote is warranted, the issue will be submitted to the General Assembly for a Yes/No vote. When the 48 hour voting period is complete, a 2/3 majority will be sufficient to impeach. Co-Chancellors: See Article III A. terms of office. Department Heads (aka Ministers): High Council members may propose impeachment of a Department Head (aka Minister), which will be approved with a 2/3 vote (9/13). IV. Military and War The MCXA is primarily a peaceful alliance, but understands the need for military efforts for the better interests. With this in mind, we establish the following guidelines. All declarations of war on aligned nations or alliances must be approved by the High Council. Declaration of war on rogue nations must be approved by the Minister of Defense, or their designated staff, or with the consent of the High Council. Use of nuclear weapons is allowed only as a retaliatory measure against a nuclear first strike. All aid to foreign nations at war must be approved by the High Council. During times of open war with a nation or alliance, all members are free to attack enemies in consultation with the Minister of Defense, and High Council members. V. Amendments Amendments to this Charter can be proposed by any member of the alliance. They will then be submitted to the Co-Chancellors, according to III.A.3, who will then present them to the General Assembly for a vote. Any amendment to the charter must be approved by 3/5 of voters. Polls will stay open for 96 hours or until 3/5 of the alliance has approved, whichever comes first. This does not include amendments regarding addition or elimination of ministerial Department Heads (aka Minister) positions, which are approved solely by the High Council according to III.B.4 VI. Conclusion "This document serves to affirm and uphold the values that we accept as central to the beliefs and principles of the Multicolored Cross-X Alliance. The integrity of the Charter depends on each members responsibility to uphold the Spirit and Meaning of the Document, and this responsibility should not be taken lightly."
