The Alliance of Chartered Corporations shall be governed by a Council of Charterers.
The Council of Charterers shall consist of Councilors, which are in the same as the Chief Executive Officers of the Chartered Corporations.
Decisions affecting the whole of or a part of the Chartered Corporations shall be reached by a majority vote of the Councilors.
Decisions that affect only an individual Corporation shall not be deliberated by the Council of Charterers, but rather by the governing body that is defined by the same Corporation.
On a majority vote, the Council of Charterers may establish a House of Representatives, which shall consist of no more than two Representatives from each of the Chartered Corporations. Representatives shall be chosen through a popular vote from within their respective Corporations, shall hold a term for six months, and shall not exceed tenure longer than twelve months without a period of six months in which they do not hold office.
Representatives are charged with presenting proposed Bills and Amendments to the Charter, from the Pilots of their respective Corporations, to the House, which shall deliberate, upon majority vote, elevate the proposed Bill or Amendment to the Council of Charterers, whom upon majority vote, will ratify the Bill or Amendment to the Charter, or upon disapproval, will return the proposed Bill or Amendment to the House of Representatives, with their objections. The House of Representatives will revisit the proposed Bill or Amendment, with the objections, and upon majority vote, ratify the Bill or Amendment to the Charter.
If the proposed Bill or Amendment does not pass after the Council of Charterers has returned it with their objections, the Council of Charterers may elect to turn it to the Pilots of the Chartered Corporations for a popular vote, and upon a majority vote, the Bill or Amendment shall be ratified to the Charter.
The Council of Charterers exclusively holds the right to veto any proposed Bill or Amendment to the Charter that has been presented by the House of Representatives and must present a valid explanation for the reason of the veto.
The House of Representatives shall elect one of their number to the position of Arbiter, who shall oversee the proceedings of the House of Representatives and report the same to the Council of Charterers. The Arbiter shall hold tenure of twelve months and shall not hold tenure of two or more consecutive terms.
The Corporation from which the Arbiter was selected shall elect a new Representative from their Corporation to hold seat in the House.
The Arbiter shall not cast vote during deliberation, except on occasion to cast a tiebreaker.
The Arbiter shall be present on the Council of Charterers to represent the House in the matters of deliberation, but shall not cast a vote, except on the occasion to cast a tiebreaker.
Upon such an occasion that a Corporation is unable to provide the House of Representatives with two Representatives, the House of Representatives shall be dissolved and the Representatives shall be absolved of any responsibility granted to them by the Chartered Corporations.
Upon dissolution of the House of Representatives, the Arbiter shall serve the remainder of their tenure and, upon completion of said tenure, a popular vote shall be had to select the Arbiter from the Pilots of the Chartered Corporations.
The Council of Charterers shall, upon majority vote, dissolve the House of Representatives at any time, abiding by the procedures outlined above.
In the event that the Council of Charterers elects to not establish a House of Representatives, Councilors are charged with representing their individual Corporations during deliberation within the Council.
If the Council of Charterers elects to forgo a House of Representatives, an Arbiter shall be elected in accordance with the proscribed procedures above.
