The Political Infidelity Amendment

1. A political simulation (polsim for short) is defined as any online or real life simulation of politics, not including the governments of countries internationally recognized by the UN.

1. Any diplomat or foreign minister may not hold any high office in another political simulation.

1. In Section III, Article VII, it says, “Council members may not hold governmental positions in another subreddit. This is considered treason.” This article will be removed upon this bill’s passing.

1. Council members who hold a high office in another polsim may not go on any diplomatic missions, and they must vote abstain on any treaties or deals between TG and any polsim they hold a high office in.

1. In Section IV, Article IX, it says, "The president may not hold a governmental position in another sub. This is considered treason.” The word "sub" will be replaced with "political simulation", and the word "treason" will be replaced with "political infidelity."

1. Breaching Sections 1, 3, or 4 is considered political infidelity, and can be punished with impeachment from the perpetrator's TeenGovernment position.

MinecraftGuy7401's arguments in support of the bill:
"Other polsim users would likely be the most interested in TeenGov, for example the DoR, DoD, or UoR, but if we force them to one side, do you think they'll choose the new polsim (TG) that they just joined, or do you think they'd choose the polsim that they've been in for weeks, maybe even months? Plus, members of different polsims who want to try out TG wouldn't be allowed to hold office in TG, and would be pushed away, even if they have more experience than a lot of only TG members. Multi-polsim users have been proven beneficial, with the most evident examples being Magma and Detom. And why would it even be called treason that doesn't make sense. They simply hold power in multiple places. However, I will agree that there are some limits, the president and anyone who works with foreign affairs. For the president, they're too far up and they oversee the entirety of TG, including foreign affairs. And for the foreign affairs people, it's pretty obvious, they can't be making treaties and deals and then approving the treaties and deals as someone who votes on them, that would be obvious bias and wouldn't give the other polsim the same power in deciding on the deal."
