RL-039., THE VANGUARD ACT


Preamble:

ACKNOWLEDGING: that the Constitution of the Free Nations Region doesn't enables the Founder to appoint his staff

UNDERSTANDING: that the Free Nations Region Cabinet has faced inactivity from certain ministers before.

KNOWING: that Impeachment isn't always the solution since there may not always be a willing and active replacement available for the position.

FEARING: that the government work would be halted because of the lack of manpower.
