### About

The Consul of the Civil Sector is one of the two Consuls that serve the state; the *'Consul Civilis'* acts as an overseer and has imperial authority over the civil sectors of the state.

There is to be no relation to the co-consul's role in his/her respective sector of service.

### Foundation

The Proconsul is an elective president in it's own forms; there are two consuls designated to server either the military or civil sector. The ***Consul* Civilis** shall oversee the judiciary, the legislative, law enforcement, the economy, and the diplomatic affairs of the state.

The Consul Civilis (or Civil Sector) is responsible for the overseeing of all civil institutions and magistrates, their authority is absolute besides that of the Fortuna matriarch. For a succession of which is elective, historically plenty of Consuls were married into the royal family to seal and ensure prestige on themselves.

Their tenure (for both Consuls) is a period of two months, although elected by the Upper Assembly - both Consuls have equal jurisdiction over the Lower Assembly and all aspects within (in addition to their authority.) An assistant of a Consul is known as a "Consular Quaestor."

#### **Legislative Jursidction**

Consuls are the highest elected officials, they serve terms of 2 (two) months and can re-propose themselves after their term has concluded. However, this may only happen once within a span of two months in order to allow transparency with candidates.

Consuls shall have the authority and the duty to intervene with citizens who are lacking in their duties, and if necessary, remove said individuals from the aforementioned positions.

* In cases of necessity, the Consuls, in agreement, may appoint *conditional* and *special* Magistrates, circumventing an election, though staying within the lawfully established magisterial terms.
* The Consuls, in agreement, may suspend magistracies, leaving them vacant and out of use, should the need arise. In this event, their assistants (quaestors) take over temporarily until suspension is concluded.
* Consuls hold the prerogative to award individuals from their respective field of authority with any medals and laurels as they see fit.

##### **Limitations of the Consuls**

* The Consuls may not veto nor autopass any *expulsion related motions* proposed against themselves or their counterpart by the Upper Assembly.
* The Consuls may not veto nor autopass any piece of legislation that aims to restrict their constitutional powers or veto any proposal in the Upper Assembly that aims to overrule a decision made by themselves. They may also not autopass any piece of legislation increasing either of their constitutional powers.

#### Election of Consuls

To run for the position, one in the Upper Assembly (exclusively) must meet the following requirements:

* Has served as a Magistrate for 1 term in the past 12 months without an expulsion of any type.
* Has been a member of the Upper Assembly for 2 months respectively in a constructive manner.
* Has in the past served as a Princess/Prince of the Upper Assembly, or Praetor, or Consul for a full term in the last 12 months, without being impeached from their magisterial positions.

The Upper Assembly or a Procurator+ may lift these restrictions before the start of an election.
