| − | The '''Speaker of the Council of the Republic''' | + | The '''Speaker of the Council of the Republic''', commonly known as simply the '''Speaker of the Council''' and officially abbreviated '''SCR''', was a legislative officer of the [[Council of the Republic]] of [[The League]] and [[Concord]] who was tasked with "encouraging" and "facilitating improvements" in regional legislation. The position was ceremonial, as the [[Consulate of the Republic]] appointed a Council Delegate to the position and it held no legal authority over the other sitting Council Delegates. The term for Speaker was two months long and can be renewed once consecutively. |
| − | + | The position was established on 8 March 2021 following the passage of [[Council of the Republic Motion 5|CRM 5]] the day prior, and its inaugural holder was [[Gagium (politician)|Gagium]], who was elected to the position by his fellow Council Delegates on 14 March 2021. Following [[The Constitutional Republic of Zion (politician)|The Constitutional Republic of Zion]]'s term of May to September 2021, every Speaker was appointed by the Consulate. The position was abolished on 2 July 2024. | |

| − | + | On 7 March 2021, [[Greater Sacramento (politician)|Greater Sacramento]] presented [[Council of the Republic Motion 5]] (CRM 5) to the [[Council of the Republic]] for a vote. The motion called for a legislative office, named the "Director of the Council", to be established. The director would "encourage and facilitate the creation of bills", and would be required to be "active" throughout their term.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1515796|title=CRM 5 – A Motion to Create the Position of Director of the Council|language=English|date=7 March 2021|access-date=4 December 2022|author1=Greater Sacramento|author1-link=Greater Sacramento|publisher=[[Council of the Republic]]}}</ref> The thirteen members of the Council of the Republic voted unanimously in support of the position's establishment, and the [[Consulate of the Republic]] confirmed it would accept the motion the same day. | |
| − | + | The position was established on 8 March 2021 following a constitutional amendment. Its name was changed from "Director of the Council" to "Speaker of the Council" by the Consulate. [[Washingtonian Republic (politician)|Washingtonian Republic]] suggested the name "President of the Council", but it was not accepted by Chief Consul [[Quebecshire (politician)|Quebecshire]] and Consul [[Terranihil (politician)|Terranihil]] on the basis that it "would imply authority over the other delegates" and "misleadingly sounds like a head of state". | |

| + | |||
| + | The Speaker of the Council of the Republic is defined in Article 3, Section 1, Clauses VIII–X of the [[Constitution of the Republic]].{{NoteTag|name="Clauses"|At the time the position was created, the Speaker of the Council of the Republic was defined by Article 3, Section 1, Clauses IX–XI.}}<ref name="constitution">{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1209213|title=The League {{!}} Constitution of the Republic|access-date=9 March 2021|date=13 May 2019|author1=Government of The League|author1-link=The League|website=NationStates|editor1=Quebecshire|editor1-link=Quebecshire (politician)}}</ref> | ||

| + | : VIII. There shall be a legislative officer titled Speaker of the Council of the Republic with no higher authority than their fellow Council Delegates who shall be tasked with encouraging and facilitating improvements in regional legislation. | ||
| + | |||
| + | : IX. The Speaker of the Council shall be nominated by the Consulate and then confirmed by a Consulate-managed process which must include the consent of the majority of an incoming Council. If a nomination does not gain the majority consent of the Council, the Consulate will nominate a different Delegate until one is approved. | ||
| + | |||
| + | : X. The Speaker of the Council's term shall fulfill a cycle of the Council of the Republic. The Consulate may remove the Speaker of the Council from office if there is a clear and present ineptitude in their duties. If the post is vacated by removal or resignation, the Consulate shall appoint an acting Speaker of the Council until the term has expired. | ||

| Speaker of the Council of the Republic | |
|---|---|
 | |
 | |
| Style | The Honorable |
| Abbreviation | SCR |
| Member of | Council of the Republic |
| Appointer | Consulate of the Republic |
| Term length | 2 months, renewable once consecutively |
| Formation | 8 March 2021 |
| First holder | Gagium |
| Final holder | Entropan |
| Abolished | 2 July 2024 |
The Speaker of the Council of the Republic, commonly known as simply the Speaker of the Council and officially abbreviated SCR, was a legislative officer of the Council of the Republic of The League and Concord who was tasked with "encouraging" and "facilitating improvements" in regional legislation. The position was ceremonial, as the Consulate of the Republic appointed a Council Delegate to the position and it held no legal authority over the other sitting Council Delegates. The term for Speaker was two months long and can be renewed once consecutively.
The position was established on 8 March 2021 following the passage of CRM 5 the day prior, and its inaugural holder was Gagium, who was elected to the position by his fellow Council Delegates on 14 March 2021. Following The Constitutional Republic of Zion's term of May to September 2021, every Speaker was appointed by the Consulate. The position was abolished on 2 July 2024.

Establishment
The voting card for Council of the Republic Motion 5.
On 7 March 2021, Greater Sacramento presented Council of the Republic Motion 5 (CRM 5) to the Council of the Republic for a vote. The motion called for a legislative office, named the "Director of the Council", to be established. The director would "encourage and facilitate the creation of bills", and would be required to be "active" throughout their term.[1] The thirteen members of the Council of the Republic voted unanimously in support of the position's establishment, and the Consulate of the Republic confirmed it would accept the motion the same day.
The position was established on 8 March 2021 following a constitutional amendment. Its name was changed from "Director of the Council" to "Speaker of the Council" by the Consulate. Washingtonian Republic suggested the name "President of the Council", but it was not accepted by Chief Consul Quebecshire and Consul Terranihil on the basis that it "would imply authority over the other delegates" and "misleadingly sounds like a head of state".
Constitutional framework
The Speaker of the Council of the Republic is defined in Article 3, Section 1, Clauses VIII–X of the Constitution of the Republic.[note 1][2]
- VIII. There shall be a legislative officer titled Speaker of the Council of the Republic with no higher authority than their fellow Council Delegates who shall be tasked with encouraging and facilitating improvements in regional legislation.
- IX. The Speaker of the Council shall be nominated by the Consulate and then confirmed by a Consulate-managed process which must include the consent of the majority of an incoming Council. If a nomination does not gain the majority consent of the Council, the Consulate will nominate a different Delegate until one is approved.
- X. The Speaker of the Council's term shall fulfill a cycle of the Council of the Republic. The Consulate may remove the Speaker of the Council from office if there is a clear and present ineptitude in their duties. If the post is vacated by removal or resignation, the Consulate shall appoint an acting Speaker of the Council until the term has expired.
