User:Imperial Misanthrope/Vote of Overturning

The Vote of Overturning is a political device used by the ISE High Council.

Synopsis
The Vote of Overturning is used when either the Arbitrator or the Imperial Admiral of the ISE wish to declare war. To officially declare war, both the Arbitrator and Imperial Admiral must agree to it, made law under the Writ of Clarification. However, a sub-section of the law states that in the case of an indecision, the individual wishing to go to war may come before the High Council, and personally request a Vote of Overturning. Simply put, the High Council is then allowed to vote amongst themselves whether or not to go to war, instead of the decision being up to the Arbitrator and Imperial Admiral.

In cases where the High Council is unable to decide, no war is declared until either another Vote is put forth, or the Arbitrator and Imperial Admiral make a unified decision.
