| The '''Directory of Vardana''' ([[wikipedia:Armenian language|Vardanan]]: Տեղեկատու) is the nine-member committee that has governed the [[Vardana|Third Vardanan Republic]] since the signing of the constitution, on 18 June 1985. Collectively, the Directory serves as the [[wikipedia:head of state|head of state]] and of [[wikipedia:head of government|government]] of [[Vardana]].
| | '''Mehvesh Razmuni''' is a [[Vardana|Vardani]] politician and President-elect the Commonwealth of Zalpa. |
| | |
| The entire Directory is responsible for the federal government of Vardana, overseeing the administration of the nation. By direction of the constitution, all directors are of equal status; however, since 1992 the Directory has appointed one of its membership to serve as the [[Director-General of Vardana|Director-General]]. The Director-General, as [[wikipedia:First among equals|first among equals]], often fulfills the representative obligations traditionally carried out by a single head of state in other nations.
| |
| ==History==
| |
| ==1983 constitution==
| |
| The 1983 constitution was drafted during a constitutional convention following a [[wikipedia:Coup d'état|coup]] from within the [[Revolutionary Workers' Party (Vardana)|Revolutionary Workers' Party]]. The convention was chaired by future, and last, Paramount Leader [[Arman Boghossian]]. The constitution was drafted over the course of two months, and was adopted in July 1983, approved by national referendum in 1984. The constitution came into effect on 11 July 1985, exactly two years after the initial adoption. Article III called for the creation of an executive directory, partially inspired by the [[Tsurushima|Daitoan]] model, and deals with the function and duties of the Directory.
| |
| | |
| Article III, section 1 describes the Directory as the <nowiki>"supreme executive power"</nowiki> of the nation. The Directory is to consist of 9 members, one elected from each of Vardana's 8 provinces (including a director from the claimed province of [[Perateia]]) and one at-large, elected by nation-wide popular vote. Director terms are to last four years, with no regard to term limits; however, term limits have been imposed by provincial charters in all but two provinces (Ayrum and Corduene), with elections staggered to allow for 2 to 3 Directors to be elected annually.
| |
| | |
| Section 2 granted the Directory the power to:
| |
| *appoint judges, attorney generals, military officers, and other officers;
| |
| *fill vacancies resulting from death, resignation, impeachment, or other disqualification;
| |
| *correspond with foreign nations;
| |
| *serve as presiding officers in cases of impeachment;
| |
| *grant pardons and reprieves;
| |
| *ensure the enforcement of laws passed by the Assembly and signed by Directory;
| |
| *veto legislation;
| |
| *serve as commander-in-chief of the armed forces, or to nominate one among themselves to serve as sole commander-in-chief in times of crisis;
| |
| *etc.
| |
| ===Meeting place===
| |
| The constitution provides that the Directory is to be in session simultaneously with the National Convention. However, in practice the Directory sits year-round with no formal sessions. Directory meetings, and offices, are held at Tigranaberd Palace, in [[Kajnadzor]].
| |
| ==Directors==
| |
| ===Eligibility===
| |
| The Constitution of Vardana sets 4 major qualifications to become a Director. To serve as Director, one must:
| |
| *be a citizen of Vardana
| |
| *be at least 30 years old
| |
| *be a resident for the last 10 years
| |
| *not be married to a non-citizen spouse
| |
| ===Election and term limits===
| |
| Directorial elections are staggered with anywhere from 2 to 3 director positions elected every year. Elections are regulated and held by provincial electoral commissions, in elections featuring universal suffrage. Provincial charters vary on method of election, but many (including the national at-large directorate) utilize a [[wikipedia:two-round voting system|two-round system]]. Newly elected directors are sworn in a full month after their election by the President of the National Convention.
| |
| | |
| Term limits do not exist at the national level, though many provinces have enacted term limits within their own jurisdictions to restrict offices. The following provinces have a 2 term limit, allowing for no more than two consecutive terms: Armavir, Enetne, Iotopha, and Tsaghkadzor. The province of Mysia has a hard 3 term limit, while the provinces of Ayrum and Corduene have no restrictions on consecutive terms.
| |
| ==Director-General==
| |
| {{main|Director-General of Vardana}}
| |
| The Director-General serves as the presiding officer of the Directory, and undertakes representative duties typically associated with a single head of state. The office was established in 1992 out of Directorial gridlock and the need for a presiding officer not provided by the constitution. The Director-General is elected from among the members, originally the most senior member of the Directory, though this has not been the case since the Generalship of NAME. The Director-General also serves as the functional commander-in-chief of the [[Armed Forces of Vardana|armed forces]]. The current Director-General is [[Anastas Barkhudar]], of the [[Radical Party (Vardana)|Radical Party]].
| |
| | |
| The constitutionality of the Director-General has often been debated among constitutional scholars and lawyers in Vardana. The constitution does not provide for a presiding officer of the directory and instead relies on all directors to undertake functions of the head of state and government collectively. Some constitutional scholars have noted that the creation of the Director-General could be explained through the Directory's exclusive power to appoint other officers or fill vacancies. However, others still widely criticize this view and have called for the position to be abolished or officially created in a constitutional amendment to limit its potential powers and influence over the Directory as a whole.
| |
| ==Current membership==
| |
| As of January 2020 the incumbent Directors are:
