My issues towards re-introducing the presidency isn't a fear of the situation in the DSA devolving to that of before the cabinet crisis of 2019 nor that it is called the 'president', which apart from the name this legislation is re-introducing with some changes, the main issue in that it brings more hierarchy and a 'first amonst equals' in the council still remains however. I would however be willing to support a head councillor if these changes are made.

1. The head councillor / council supervisor would be elected/appointing by the councillors through a council vote amongst themselves. And that it would be a flexible position, the supervisor may be change or they may not be a supervisor at all.

2. That the powers / responsibilities of the council supervisor be limited to:

- Coordinating the activities and efforts of the Council
- Monitoring the Council for efficiency and effectiveness
- Executing the duties of vacant Council members
- Executing the reasonable recommendations of the Councilor of Domestic Affairs, Councilor of Foreign Affairs, and Councilor of Justice as they relate to Administrative Privileges without hesitation or prejudice

Furthermore interim appointments rest within the hands of the council collectively, and these provisions below be deleted to ensure there isn't a hierarchy in the council:

- The Council, when possible, shall be accountable to the Head Councilor and shall in earnest try to fulfill all reasonable requests made by the Head Councilor as they pertain to their respective duties.
- The Head Councilor shall be the presiding officer of the Council.

The council supervisor / council coordinator could also be made a department director, that way a councillor would not need to take on extra work if no one is available.

it would be better to elect someone to this posistion outright rather than to give more responsibilties to a Councilor on top of the others they already have to do. Imagine if the CoDA had to stimulate activity in the region as well as the Council at the same time. A Councilor should not have to take on more work than need be. And with that, I believe the choice of who should be supervisor should be left to Congress. The Council serves Congress, after all, with Congress picking every posistion in the Council. I wish to keep that and not give the Council more power than they already have

- The Head Councilor shall be the presiding officer of the Council.

They are given the named "Head Councilor" for a reason, in that they are organizing the Council for efficiency and effectiveness. This clause states that. They would be the head as they are the organizer. This is a necessary clause for the Councilor to be able to carry out their responsibilities.

- The Council, when possible, shall be accountable to the Head Councilor and shall in earnest try to fulfill all reasonable requests made by the Head Councilor as they pertain to their respective duties.

This I also feel is a necessary aspect to them being able to fufill their responsibilities. Of the two years I was part of the DSA Cabinet, under the infamous reign that people fear, this clause was never an abused thing. The President would lay out things that the Cabinet should do that were reasonable for their offices. A difference here is my inclusion of ", when possible, " to account for some Councilors being unavailable for IRL situations so that they would not be forced to be online when dealing with IRL things. To remove this would be to have the Head Councilor not be a Councilor but instead be an advisor

It would be odd for a department director to have access to Council-restricted channels so I would not support that move. If you are not a Council member, you should not have access to Council-restricted channels or be able to comment in Council-restricted channels
