This removal shall begin an interim period while the second statement is enacted.(b) If a contradiction arises that is not in accordance with a 1:1 Ratio, the more numerous understanding shall be followed, again in an interim period. During that time, the second clause will again be subject to implementation.
(c) Once a consensus is achieved via the aforementioned clauses, the First State Citizen, Vicilum Civilis and Praefectus Civilis are allotted scribal authority to revise the now defunct statements to coalesce with the agreed upon result.Should this power be used in anyway that does not accomplish the agreed upon result, intentionally, this act is a peripheral justification for an expulsion.(d) The Constitution shall always be above any other legislation, except in relation to edict under the power of the sovereign.
