Article. I.

Section. 1.

All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Directorate of the Incorporated States, which shall consist of an Executive Board and a Supervisory Board of trustees.

Section. 2.

The Executive Board shall be composed of members chosen every fourth year by general election of the people of the Incorporated States. The board will consist of a President and Chief Executive Officer, an Executive Vice President, chief departmental officers, and representatives from each state and incorporated city. Each must have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Executive Board. The President of the Incorporated States shall be the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Executive Board.

No Person shall be a board member who shall not have attained to the age of twenty five years, and a Share Owner of the Incorporated States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state in which he shall be chosen.

After the general election, but no more than ninety days after, board directors shall be nominated and appointed by majority share owner vote in general meeting. Board Directors, other than the President and Vice President, shall be nominated and appointed as the following: Chief Finance Officer, Chief Justice Officer, Chief Foreign Affairs Officer, Chief Officer of Homeland Security, Chief Agriculture Officer, Chief Commerce Officer, Chief Officer of Labor, Chief Officer of National Defense, Chief Officer of Health and Safety, Chief Officer of Housing and Urban Development, Chief Officer of Transportation, Chief Energy Officer, Chief Officer of Education, and Chief Officer of Human Services and Welfare. Each Chief Officer’s vote shall count as three votes.

Members shall be apportioned among the Major Share Owners of the Incorporated States, according to their respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole number of share owners, including those bound to service in all branches of the Uniformed Services, and excluding those insolvent, and not taxed by reason of sale of all Share Owner voting rights. The actual enumeration shall be made within three years after the first meeting of the Directorate of the Incorporated States, and within every subsequent term of ten years, in such manner as they shall by law direct. The number of members shall not exceed one for every fifty thousand Share Owners, but each state and incorporated city shall have at least one member. Each member’s vote shall count as one vote.

When vacancies happen in the Major Share Ownership from any state, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies until the next election cycle.
The Executive Board shall choose their Speaker and other Officers not included among the appointed Board Officers, and shall have the sole Power of removal of any Executive Officers.

Section. 3.

The Supervisory Board of the Incorporated States shall be composed of three members from each state, chosen by the Supervisory Boards thereof for six years; and each member shall have one vote.

Immediately after they shall be assembled in consequence of the first election, they shall be divided as equally as may be into three classes, one member in each class for every state. The seats of the member of the first class shall be vacated at the expiration of the second year, of the second class at the expiration of the fourth year, and of the third class at the expiration of the sixth year, so that one third may be chosen every second year; and if vacancies happen by resignation, or otherwise, during the recess of the Supervisory Board of any state, the executive thereof may make temporary appointments until the next board meeting, which shall then fill such vacancies.

No person shall be a Supervisory Board Member who shall not have attained to the age of thirty years, and a Share Owner of the Incorporated States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.

The Executive Vice President of the Incorporated States shall be President of the Supervisory Board, but shall have no vote, unless they are equally divided.

The Supervisory Board shall choose their other Officers, and also a President pro tempore, in the absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the Office of President of the Incorporated States.

The Supervisory Board shall have the sole power to try all removal proceedings. When sitting for that purpose, they shall be on oath or affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice Officer shall preside: And no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the members present.

Judgment in cases of removal proceedings shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the Incorporated States: but the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment, according to provisional law afforded Major Share Owners.

Section. 4.

The times, places and manner of holding appointment boards and elections for Executive Board Directors and Members of the Supervisory Board shall be prescribed in each State by the legislature thereof; but Directors of the Executive Board may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of chosen Directors.

The Executive Board shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by law appoint a different day.

Section. 5.

Each Board shall be the judge of the elections, returns and qualifications of its own members and directors, and a majority of each shall constitute a quorum to do business; but a smaller number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the attendance of absent members, in such manner, and under such penalties as each board may provide.

Each board may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and in the Supervisory Board, with the concurrence of two thirds, expel a member. For the Executive Board, removal proceedings must be brought up for the President, Vice President, and Chief Officers, but the concurrence of two thirds may expel State Share Owner members.

Each board shall keep a journal of minutes of its proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such parts as may in their judgment require secrecy; and the yeas and nays of the members and directors of either board on any question shall, at the desire of one third of those present, be entered in the minutes.

Neither board, during sessions shall, without the consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other place than that in which the two boards shall be sitting.

Section. 6.

Board directors and members shall receive a compensation for their services, to be ascertained by law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all cases, except Treason or Felony, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective boards, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any speech or debate on either board they shall not be questioned in any other place.

No Board Director or Member shall, during the time for which he was elected, be appointed to any corporate office under the authority of the Incorporated States, which shall have been created, or the emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no person holding any office under the Incorporated States, shall be a director or member of both boards during his continuance in office, except that the President of the Incorporated States shall be the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Executive Board, and the Executive Vice President of the Incorporated States shall be President of the Supervisory Board.

Section. 7.

All Bills for raising revenue shall originate from the office of the Chief Finance Officer; but the Executive and Supervisory Boards may propose or concur with amendments as on other bills.

Every bill which shall have passed the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board shall, before it become a law, be presented to the President of the Incorporated States: If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his objections to that board in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such reconsideration two thirds of that board shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent, together with the objections, to the other board, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that board, it shall become a law. But in all such cases the votes of both boards shall be determined by yeas and Nays, and the names of the persons voting for and against the bill shall be entered on the minutes of each board meeting respectively. If any bill shall not be returned by the president within ten days after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a law.

Every order, resolution, or vote to which the concurrence of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board may be necessary (except on a question of adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the Incorporated States; and before the same shall take effect, shall be approved by him, or being disapproved by him, shall be re-passed by two thirds of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board, according to the rules and limitations prescribed in the case of a bill.

But neither the Incorporated States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

The status of Share Owner, and the ability to vote in any election, both on the state and the Directorate level, shall be maintained by compliance with both state and Directorate law and this Charter of the Incorporated States.

The Executive Board shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this addendum.

Why?

Did you not read the OP?

Sailor, I think that your version is too inline with what is currently in place. If said society is strictly corporate, then I would think that a lot of the freedoms would reflect that. For instance, what is the biggest corp, and why wouldn't they run things until they got bought out or had a big drop in stock for some reason? And if the biggest corp was in charge, then wouldn't their products be the sole game in town? Think Taco Bell ala Demolition Man. Just my thoughts, take them as you will.
