Right of Address

The Imperial Consul has the right to make a Senate address once per summit. This is intended to allow them to present important information for the senators consideration. To make an address, the Consul must inform the Speaker for the Senate of their intention, so that the Speaker can add the address to the agenda for the next Senate session.

History

The title as first presented passed through the Senate during the Summer 379YE session, and Kellua Itsepainen of Wintermark was appointed to the title. During scrutiny by the Constitutional Court, however, several significant issues were raised. These issues included concerns about the use of the Right of Address, the implicit authority of the title to command other Imperial citizens, and even concerns about the use of the word "High" in the original title. The Constitutional Court returned the motion creating the title to the Senate with a series of proposed amendments, leading to extensive and energetic debate between the Senators, the Speaker for the Senate, and Magistrate Karkovich. After spirited discussion, the administrative motion suggesting changes to the presentation of the title was accepted by the Senate.
