[s-b] A proposal: let a President Veto proposals


I submit a Proposal with the Title of "Yes, a President."

Body:

{Add a new rule, titled "The President". The text of this rule is:

"The Office of the President is a Game Object that is held by at most
one Player. The Player, if there is one, that holds the Office of the
President is called the President.

A Presidential Candidate is defined as either "Nobody" or "the Player
X" where X is the name of a Player. There is an Attribute called
Presidential Vote with a scope of all Registered Voters; a range of
"None" and all Presidential Candidates; and a Default Value of "None".
Any Player may, as a Game Action, change their Presidential Vote to
the value of their choice. The Strength of a Presidential Candidate is
defined as the sum of the Vote Powers of the Registered Voters whose
Presidential Votes are that Presidential Candidate. If the Strength of
a Presidential Candidate becomes higher than the Strengths of all
other Presidential Candidates, that Presidential Candidate is Elected
President. If "Nobody" is Elected President, there becomes no
President. If "the Player X" is Elected President, the player whose
name is X becomes President."

Amend Rule 15 to add the following text under "The most recent Vote on
a proposal by a Registered Voter is called that Registered Voter's
Final Vote on that proposal.":

"At any time, the President may, as a Game Action, Veto any Open
Proposal that he has never Vetoed before. When this happens, all
Players are considered to Vote ABSTAIN on the Proposal and it becomes
Pending."

After this Proposal is passed, there is no President.}

If a Proposal is found to have a problem that nobody has yet realized,
hopefully we can call upon the President to Veto it. This just gives
voters or the author a chance to correct their mistake; the Proposal
can still be Passed just as easily.
