Chapter 279 Prelude to Going to the Wilderness

As early as the barbaric period when Nesta was not yet born, although there was no official name, the matter of 'impeachment' already existed in disguised form;

It's just that at that time, the form was very bloody. When the tribesmen were dissatisfied with the chief, they would often simply choose to kill him physically.

When history entered the early stages of the Rune Calendar, Nesta established a series of policies and initially determined the positions of the 'Baomin Yuan', 'Government', 'Law Court', 'Army', and the 'Rune Parliament'.

Specific powers and responsibilities;

What the plebiscite gained from this was the power to supervise the ruling government and the resulting impeachment power.

When an impeachment occurs, 'the entire House of Commons will become the initiator of the impeachment, the Rune Council will become the impeachment court, and the rest of the military, political, and legal parties will only attend as observers';

And 'abuse of power by high-ranking public officials, betrayal of public trust, and crimes caused by dereliction of duty' are all targets that can be targeted by 'impeachment'.

In addition, the result of 'impeachment' is determined to be the removal from office of those found guilty, thereby giving the legal organs the power to interrogate. If necessary, those impeached and convicted will have to undergo legal proceedings thereafter.

Sanctions in other respects.'

From this point on, the relationship between the people and high-ranking public officials was initially guided from barbarism to civilization, and "impeachment" became a serious political process based on procedures rather than unruly brute force.

And when the time came to October of the 66th year of the Rune Calendar, that is, at the beginning of the return from the ‘Great Refuge’, Nesta began to promote the codification of the ‘Impeachment Rules’;

Therefore, the Law Court was ordered to sort out the ‘impeachment habits’ of the previous thirty years and draft them into a first draft of legislation.

Afterwards, in December of the 66th year of the Rune calendar, the "Draft Law on Impeachment of High Public Officials of the Republic" was submitted to the Rune Council and officially entered the review stage.

In the "Draft", in addition to the previous impeachment rules for important members of the ruling government being converted into articles, for the first time, the leaders of the Rune Council and the heads of committees are also included in the scope of impeachment, which can be regarded as a further step to expand the scope of the Rune Council.

, and other members of Congress took down the "sacred altar" and added another weight to the end of the "government tutelage".

However, there is a problem.

At the moment when the 'Tutorial Period' has not yet ended, the Rune Parliament is the de facto highest authority in the Republic, and the members are not born based on 'popular election' or the like, but from their own contributions to the Republic.

Only through meritorious deeds can you get the qualification to attend.

Strictly speaking, all existing institutions in the Republic actually receive work guidance from the Rune Council;

However, the Parliament itself only needs to be responsible for the concept of 'republic', and of course the heads of all levels, including the Speaker, are also responsible.

In other words, there is no institution that can be the ‘initiator of impeachment’, because no institution can fully represent the conceptual entity of the ‘republic’ to exercise this power.

Therefore, it is unreasonable for the first draft of the "Draft" to imitate the regulations when the ruling government was impeached and transfer the impeachment power of important seats such as the Speaker of the Parliament to the House of Commons.

Therefore, due to the fact that "regulatory discipline" still exists at this stage, the "impeachment" of important members of the parliament has become an "automatic initiation clause" that is somewhat self-deceptive.

That is, when the actor's 'treason', 'crime', 'dereliction of duty', or 'loss caused by his decision-making' becomes a public fact, the impeachment statute will automatically take effect;

When the impeachment ordinance enters into effect, the Parliament, the tribunal, and the research, politics, law, military, and business parties will unite to establish a legally authorized 'representative entity of the Provisional Republic' and become the initiator of the impeachment.

Party and receiving party.

But before deciding whether to initiate impeachment, the Provisional Republic Representative Entity will first hold a hearing and discuss subsequent matters after a series of evidence, voting and other procedures.

Of course, the 'law' has no wisdom, and it is actually impossible to 'initiate' it automatically. However, when there are logical contradictions in the ownership of the rights and responsibilities of all parties, this plan is temporarily formulated as a temporary rights and interests measure;

However, the Rune Council will not always be superior to all parties. When it ends its special mission at a special stage, it will be the moment when the ownership of power and responsibilities is truly clarified.

And by then, impeachment will not be as troublesome as it is today, and it is still unclear whether there will even be a need to set up a "political impeachment" for members of Congress in addition to the law;

After all, when the power is transferred, the institution that takes over the power has more "in-office immunity from prosecution" than the 'consultative' Rune Parliament.

Discussions on the many problems existing in the "Draft" continued for a considerable period of time, and it was not until early March of Rune Calendar 67 that the first version of the "Impeachment Law" was truly promulgated.

Then, under pressure from Nesta, the parliamentary provisions of the bill were put into practical use for the first time in a short period of time.

From this point of view, "automatic initiation" is indeed self-deception, and Nesta actually acted as the "initiator".

~~~~~~~

When the time came to mid-March, representatives from various industries from the headquarters and other cities gathered at the headquarters. Together with 73 members of the Rune Parliament, as well as representatives of the military, political and legal parties, they formed a "temporary entity" to participate in

Enter the 'hearing' held against Nesta.

After a period of oath-taking, the hearing officially began.

The first is the self-certification stage. Nesta entered the venue like a patio, and began to make his own statement under the gaze of many people sitting high up.

During this process, he did not make any extraordinary defense for his dereliction of duty, but simply stated the facts at the time in an orderly manner.

Next is the evidence-producing session. More than a dozen witnesses took the stage one after another and explained what they saw and heard at that time;

Among the witnesses here are witch doctors, officers and soldiers, and several representatives of investigators, all of whom were personally present at the scene of Double Kings 034 City at that time;

In addition to the above-mentioned "own people", there were even several asylum seekers who came on stage at one time and spoke in their native language while trembling.

The testimonies given by all these witnesses almost all focused on the expressions of "urgent situation", "time is tight", and "really helpless";

In other words, their testimony was actually completely biased towards Nesta's side, and even the asylum seekers were full of 'flattering' in fear.

It was the discussion stage again. The discussion was held behind closed doors for up to seven days, but in fact it only took three minutes of discussion to reach the final conclusion, and it took another one to write it out.

A decent 'reasonable statement'.

The ‘letter of reasons’ issued by the ‘provisional entity’ reads:

[There is no perfect policy in the world. In fact, every political decision made by the speaker of parliament, important committee members, and even senior officials of the ruling government will face a certain degree of "uncertainty of consequences";

If, due to the existence of such uncertainty, they have to be held to account indefinitely afterwards, then the future policies of the Republic will be uncontrollably biased towards extreme conservatism, which is not conducive to our sustainable development;

Therefore, we tend to regard the uncertainties faced by policies in the implementation stage as risks that must be borne, and the impeachment of policy makers needs to be carried out very carefully.

In this case, when His Excellency Nesta was making decisions, he was indeed in an unstable environment that required rapid evacuation, and the consequences of his actions did not cause irreparable losses to the Republic, so it is even more important.

Exemptions are made where appropriate.

For the above reasons, the decision made by this ‘temporary entity’ is - ‘not to implement impeachment’.]

In this regard, the hearing was closed to the satisfaction of all parties.

Representatives of various industries believe that they have successfully retained the pioneers and combated the dark psychology of some groups;

Members of the Assembly believed that they were satisfying the political mystique of the capricious Speaker while preserving his popularity;

Bystanders such as the ruling government and the military are happy that the republic is still the same republic and they have not lost their reliable supreme leader.

If anyone is dissatisfied, it might be Nesta who was declared 'not guilty'. He is a bit idealistic, but he actually doesn't like this conclusion;

However, Nesta is not a masochist after all. This time, there is no need to be as decisive as 'the body dies before the law is fulfilled'. Since he has seen the establishment of a general procedure, he has implemented it completely.

After one pass, it's almost enough.

Perhaps, just as it is written in the 'Reason Letter' that 'there is no perfect strategy in the world', this 'Impeachment Law' also needs to be slowly improved over time. It is enough to lead it to this step by yourself.

.

Moreover, some of the reasons in the "book" are indeed valid, and high-level officials do need to be relieved of some worries when making decisions.

Therefore, he just accepted the result.

And when the matter came to an end and the vast majority of participants felt that the great pioneer would continue to lead them as before, something unexpected happened again.

A month has passed since the end of the hearing. During this period, the Rune Council, driven by Nesta, formulated the "Voting Weight Plan for the Assembly Speaker Election", and this case became the one that Nesta participated in during this term.

One last decision;

On the third day after it was established, Nesta solemnly submitted his "resignation", thus once again causing a big wave among all parties.

~~~~~~~

Headquarters, inner ring rail transit vehicle;

"Have you heard? Your Excellency, the Pioneer, is resigning!" A fit and sexy elf girl in a short skirt with no apparent age asked the passenger next to her.

"How could you not have heard of it? Why do you have to go to the field if you are so good?"

Although he didn't know the questioner himself, he felt that the appearance he often saw around him in the past few days was somewhat familiar, so the young male elf who had already completed the advanced stage during his internship responded.

.

"Is there any conspiracy here? Like the intrigues between the races in the north?"

There was a scorching flame in the female elf's eyes, but she didn't know where it was burning. Is it the topic itself, or the interlocutor at this time?

And the male, in his sudden desire to express himself, brought a bit of heroism to his words,

"Hmph, it's impossible! Do you really think that our 70,000 compatriots are just living for food? If the guys above dare to look around, would I dare to put on armor and chop off their heads?"

"Bah~ That's nonsense. We will be doomed if we hold such thoughts like yours. Do you understand the rules? Do you follow the rules?"

The female elf cursed lightly, and along the way, the "braid" passed from the back of her neck to the front, and flexibly found a "connection" on the back of the other person's head;

After searching to no avail, the 'hair braid' drew a circle on his chest quite frivolously when he took it back, and teased again,

"You seem to have no armor to wear. You are still a little guy, right?"

Licking his lips, the investigator, who had just entered the vacation stage and had not tasted meat for a long time, revealed his true nature in a few words,

"Would you like to come to my house? I can lend you my sister's armor~"

"I" the other party felt a little moved, and nodded neatly and agreed, "Call me when you get off the car."

"Hey~ no problem."
