Oops. You're right. I amend my proposal to read as follows:

<proposal>
<title>You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some
watery tart threw a sword at you</title>
Append the following "Help! Help! I'm being repressed!" delimited text to
rule 32
"Help! Help! I'm being repressed!"
If the Administrator is not a player, e may veto a proposal by stating that
e does so on a public forum. If a proposal is vetoed in this manner, but at
least 3/4 of the votes counted for it were affirmative, the veto has no
effect. Otherwise, the proposal is deemed to have failed.
"Help! Help! I'm being repressed!"
</proposal>
