2: Each Island shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature there of may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the Island may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or user holding an Office of Trust or Profit under The Republic of Simple Landia, shall be appointed an Elector.

The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The user having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chose by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chose the President. But in choosing the President, the Votes shall be taken by Islands, the Representation from each Island having one Vote; A quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the Islands, and a Majority of all the Islands shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the user having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chose from them by Ballot the Vice President.

4: The Congress may determine the Time of choosing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout The Republic of Simple Landia.

5: No user except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of The Republic of Simple Landia, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any user be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of at least 8 Years, and been 1 month a Resident within The Republic of Simple Landia.

6: In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.

7: The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be encreased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from The Republic of Simple Landia, or any of them.

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the The Republic of Simple Landia, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend The Constitution of The Republic of Simple Landia.”

    Could I please be a Rep for Wright @TheRepublicofSimpleLandia

    Uhhh...I was just realizing our mistake now in putting an age at all, as it is against the rules to share personal info. on SP. So if some kid said his age on account of “the minimum age”, I would feel really bad. The way to change this is, I guess, to rant all over the place to create publicity, then a senator or representative would wright up an amendment and congress would vote it in. Or, I could just edit the post@DemonSniper8
