The government of Wheatlandia shall be a republic consisting of three branches: the Executive Branch, the Legislative Branch, and the Judicial Branch.

Each branch shall be separate and distinct, with checks and balances to prevent the abuse of power, ensuring that the dignity and rights of all people are protected.

The Executive Branch

The President

The President shall be the head of state and the chief executive officer of Tritikona. His term of office shall be 10 days, with no President allowed to serve consecutive terms. A President may serve unlimited non-consecutive terms.

The President shall lead the nation in accordance with Christian values and shall take an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution of Tritikona.

The President may issue Executive Orders, but each Executive Order must specify the law it enforces before it takes effect. These Orders must align with the principles outlined in our Constitution and Bill of Rights

A citizen is permitted to run for President in Tritikona but must have a minimum of 4 signatures to appear on the ballot

The Vice President

The Vice President shall serve as the President of the Senate and shall have a 10-day term, with no consecutive terms allowed.

The Vice President shall have a tiebreaking vote in the Senate and shall be selected by the President as his running mate.

The Vice President may be an ordinary citizen of Tritikona and not necessarily a member of the Senate.

Powers of the President and Vice President

The President shall have the authority to appoint Supreme Court Justices, issue Executive Orders in line with the common good and most importantly serve as the Commander in Chief of Tritikona's armed forces.

The Vice President is first in the line of succession to the presidency in the event that the sitting President is removed from office or dies during his term. The Vice President has the power to solely present bills to the Senate for discussion and a vote.

The President may veto any bill passed by the Senate. A 2/3 majority vote in the Senate is required to override the veto.

The Legislative Branch

The Senate

The Senate shall consist of 12 members, two from each of the six districts of Tritikona

Senators shall serve a 10-day term. Unlike the President and Vice President, Senators may serve consecutive terms

Senate candidates shall be nominated by their party members 5 days before the election. The Senate shall vote on bills proposed by the Vice President and passed through committee.

Election of Senators

Each party may nominate candidates to run in districts held by opposing parties, as long as the candidate is a resident of the district in which they are running.

Just like Presidential elections, Senate elections shall be held every 10 days, and absentee ballots may be requested for those unable to attend in person.

Impeachment and Expulsion

The Senate shall have the authority to impeach the President, Vice President, or Supreme Court Justices for acts of misconduct. A majority vote in the Senate is required to begin impeachment proceedings.

The Senate shall not vote on removal from office until they have heard both the prosecution and the defense. In impeachment trials, a special prosecutor shall be appointed by the Senate. After testimony the motion will go to a vote.

A 2/3 majority vote is required to remove any official from office. Senators may also expel members who have committed wrongdoings. Expelled Senators shall be prohibited from holding any Senate seat in the future or serving as a Supreme Court Justice.

The Judicial Branch

The Supreme Court

The Supreme Court shall consist of 3 Justices appointed by the President. The term of each Justice shall last 20 days or two Presidential terms.

At the end of their term, each Justice shall be subject to a public vote to decide whether they should remain in office. If a Justice is not retained, the new President shall appoint a replacement(s).

The Supreme Court shall have the authority to interpret the laws of Tritikona, ensuring that they align with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Impeachment of Justices

A Justice may be impeached for serious misconduct or failure to uphold the law. The Senate shall hold impeachment proceedings, and a 2/3 majority vote is required for removal. A removed Justice may never return to the Supreme Court but may run for Senate or the Presidency.
