Article 4 - Powers and Limitations

Section 1

The SPA Standing Body shall be entitled with the power to propose legislation, elect the President of The Presidium, and elect the Chairman of The Standing Body. Their legislative power stops only at the Presidium and its members. Standing Body members may propose legislation that affects any military division, any ministry, and the Korean People’s Army in its entirety. They shall not appoint ministers, nor propose binding legislation calling for their removal, although they may bring forward suggestions to the Premier and Vice Premier. They shall not propose legislation that appoints or removes any member of the General Staff of the Korean People’s Army. They shall not propose legislation that appoints, removes, or calls for an election of the Premier or Vice Premier. Regarding the Korean People’s Army, members of the Standing Body have the power to give orders to any military personnel ranked Master Sergeant or below. They are not to order Junior Lieutenants or above, although they can give suggestions to the General Staff. In addition to this, they may order the execution of any Master Sergeant or below. This execution will be carried out by present Supreme Guard Command guardsmen. They may only execute someone once, and may not order their guardsmen to spawnkill KPA members they don’t like.

Section 2

Members of the Central Committee shall have supreme power over their ministries, and may promote, demote, remove, and blacklist anyone of their choosing from their ministry. The only exceptions to this rule are the Minister of Shipbuilding and Minister of National Defense who are subordinate to anyone with a higher rank in either the KPA or KPANF. Members of the Central Committee shall not have a say on the appointments of fellow committee members. They shall not interfere with the other members’ ministries. Any Central Committee member who is reported meddling or interfering in another’s affairs shall be punished severely. Members are expected to run their ministries to the best of their ability, and will be removed if proven incompetent. Members of the Central Committee may order members of the KPA ranked Major and below. They may not order Senior Officers (LTCOL+), but like the Standing Body, they may offer suggestions to the General Staff of KPA. Central Committee members may order the execution of anyone below Major, and do so multiple times.

Section 3

Members of the presidium may do whatever they wish.

Article 5 - Elections

Section 1

The Chairman of The Standing Body shall only be elected by the Standing Body. To be elected, the position must be open. A Standing Body member may declare their candidacy in the SPA-Agenda channel in the Discord server. They may only be elected by a simple majority against the other candidates.

Section 2

The President of The Presidium may be elected by the Standing Body, also through a simple majority. Any SPA member may run to be President of The Presidium. Elections shall only happen once per year. Should a President of The Presidium wish to resign, they are to select their successor at least 7 days before they resign.

Article 6 - Amendments

The Supreme People’s Assembly may, at any time after the writing of this document, propose amendments to this constitution. In order to be ratified it must accumulate a 2/3rds majority vote, and acquire the approval of the Presidium. Alternatively, the Presidium can directly amend this constitution, or sponsor an amendment proposed by the Standing Body, bypassing the need for a 2/3rds majority. 2/3rds means 2/3rds of the entire SPA.
