If so, I support this, even if, in my opinion, there should be a better check of power. Even so, this is a modest push forward for fair checks and balances.

To be honest, I can't see anyway in which to increase the checks and balances on the Pharaoh.

Idk, like, the Pharaoh should get approval either from the Guardians or Scribes?

I would be okay with prior approval by the Council of Guardians for a regional state of emergency, provided the approval requires only a majority of Guardians, and not a supermajority.

I would be less okay with approval by the Council of Scribes. The nature of the emergency could involve a group of multiple citizens, as was the case with the recent state of emergency involving the Grey Wardens. A possible compromise would be approval for a regional state of emergency by the Council of Guardians, and then empowering the Council of Scribes, rather than the Council of Guardians, to end a state of emergency by two-thirds majority vote.

If that's what the Council of Scribes wants, that is. I don't see a pressing need to drastically limit this emergency power, I think the limited oversight Treize has proposed is probably sufficient. But if the Council would rather another level of checks and balances, I would assent. At the end of the day, the community belongs to all of us, and as long as I don't believe compromise would risk Osiris' security I'm willing to compromise.

State of Emergency isn't permanent, either...
But the discussion is great :3
