The following is inserted as Art. II, Sec. XIII, "Special Advisers":
Section XIII - Special Advisers
Clause I, in service to the Cabinet, a specially appointed member of the Congress can be made 'Special Adviser' to the government. Special Advisers must be members of Congress and must have a special expertise and experience in the regional government so as to be of extraordinary value to the Cabinet or at least certain aspects of the Cabinet. They must be established and respected members of Congress and be known to have a deep respect and commitment to the values, government and community of the region.
Clause II(a), members of Congress wishing to attain the position of Special Adviser solicit such by the Minister of Domestic Affairs, accompanied by a concise and relevant resume. The Minister of Domestic Affairs will in turn offer the question to the entire Cabinet during their meetings, where their majority vote will decide upon assigning or rejecting the post of Special Adviser. The Cabinet may set additional terms for awarding the post of Special Adviser.
Clause II(b), alternatively, a member of the Cabinet may propose a member of Congress to the rest of the Cabinet for the position of Special Adviser. In such a case, the proposed member of Congress does not have to issue a written request or a resume as described in Clause II(a) of this Section in order to be accepted; however, those terms may be part of any additional terms laid down by the Cabinet, which right remains reserved for the Cabinet.
Clause III, Special Advisers have a role which is supplementary to their duties as members of Congress. That additional role is to assist and advise the regional government where this is requested or can reasonably be expected to be desired or desirable. Practical assistance, such as altering aspects of the forums or issuing official messages, shall only be done by a mandate of the corresponding office of the Cabinet. Special Advisers do not have a vote in the Cabinet.
Clause IV, Special Advisers may be mandated to execute any function of the Cabinet and have regular access to the Closed Doors forum-section and similar deliberations of the Cabinet, so as to enable them to advise the government where this may not be explicitly requested but can reasonably be expected to be desired or desirable.
Clause V, Special Advisers have a duty to hold secret what is entrusted to them by the regional government, as well as anything else that can reasonably be expected to be sensitive information. Their access to the Closed-Doors section of the Cabinet affirms the importance of what is stipulated in Clause I of this Section.
Clause VI, Special Advisers may be relieved from duty by any member of the Cabinet, or a simple majority vote by the Congress, or by their own explicit resignation to the Minister of Domestic Affairs.
