==Constitutional Court Veto==
<box>
1) It puts an NPC in the situation of being able to raise motions - not a situation we wnat.<br>
2) There is no conceivable reason that this character should have the ability to raise motions. It's not linked to anything the Empire does. The Academy is a Sodality - not an Imperial institution.<br>
3) It strips the kids of valuable roleplay that everyone else playing the game has to do - if you want to get a motion raised - you have to convince a senator.<br>
4) It undermines the power of raising motions - something not even the Throne can do.<br>
5) It makes no fucking sense IC.<br>
6) We're doing it because... kids.</box>
 
Counterpoints:
 
# Yeah, because when raised it directly from the council, it was bounced until it was tied to a empire title. That is currently an NPC.
# It's the Sodality that hopes to train the senators of the future for the best work of the empire.
# So do they. They can't raise a motion without a senator agreeing second to it.
# The conscience can. The chances of the Senate giving this power to anyone else is slim - though I bet the Imperial Orc Affairs title will go for it.
# I disagree.
# I don't disagree.
