Dear future #republicans world wide,

When you find yourself organising your #republic please take a moment before you crown a president?

Never use a weird system to vote: No voting by district for a national office or representative body, no winner take all or first past the post kind of nonsense. Use the simple transferable vote and vote by natural constituency, eg: vote by municipality for the municipality mayor, by district for the district representative, by country for the president. Anything else is just strange.

(Also consider not voting? #Demarchy is an option these days. But only for large representative bodies, not for individual offices, and you really need to have your public education in order for this to work.)

Please keep these three roles separated at all times: The President, The Head of State, and The Commander in Chief

Allow only #TheLegislative branch to make law, establish government agencies, control the money, and declare war, and therefor appoint, with consent of #TheJudiciary, The Commander in Chief whom will report directly to the house (and senate if you have any) and be in control of the nation's defence and security, and everything which supports #TheLegislature in their functioning. Let The Commander in Chief every 4 yrs request a budget for defence of the nation with #TheLegislature

Let #ThePresident be The Head of The Executive Branch, tasked to execute the laws as given by the legislative branch and as interpreted by The Judiciary. Let them be appointed by the Legislature with the consent of the Judiciary based on whatever seems fair… eg: a popular vote? Let them request yearly funding with The Legislature

Let #TheHeadOfState be appointed by The Judiciary with consent of The Legislature, and be given the power to pardon, appoint ambassadors and diplomates with consent of The Legislative, negotiate & sign international treaties as instructed by the Legislature (and which have to be ratified by the Legislature with a ⅔ majority before becoming law), and request every 4 yr funding for Judiciary and Diplomacy with The Legislature

Let these three Heads have weekly meetings representing their branch in these meetings and govern the nation either by consensus or simple majority.

It's just a thought…
