Misread the constitution, here's a fixed version with a fix for the 51% issue.
HEREBY revising the Liberalization of Autocracy Act (http://www.reddit.com/r/MtAugusta/comments/2kae3c/bill_result_liberalization_of_autocracy_act/);
RECOGNIZING that the will of the people has been to strengthen the central government and invest all power thereof into a holder of singular authority;
ACCEPTING as valid the premises of those concerned, in that the current state of the Autocratic System allows great potential for abuse;
CLARIFYING that this people do not consider themselves to be in danger from the current holder of this authority, but rather are acting to restrict future abuse;
The Augustan People,
CREATE a code of behavior that must be adhered to by the holder of any power over the democracy, should he or she* be referred to as Mayor, Fuhrer King Bradley, or by any other title besides:
The Mayor must uphold the Augustan Bill of Rights and may not alter it without the consent of the governed in a standard vote.
The Mayor may not violate the Criminal Code of Mt. Augusta in his actions, both public and private.
The Mayor must respect the decisions of the elected judges except as in that recourse provided to him by the law.
The Mayor must publicize all actions taken that exist outside the standard vote.
FURTHER RECOGNIZE that the nature of an Autocratic system is as such that the holder of singular authority cannot be held to an honor system;
ESTABLISH the following means to enforce this code of behavior on the Mayor, Fuhrer King Bradley, or whatever title as the holder of singular authority shall be called:
A popular impeachment of the Mayor, requiring at least a ¾ majority approval, passed as a bill which cannot be blocked by the current Mayor.
A popular referendum on any Bill passed autocratically by the Mayor, requiring a ¾ majority approval, which cannot be blocked by the current Mayor.
REAFFIRM the right of the Mayor to maintain all rights regarding the passage and denial of bills besides those specifically excepted from it in this law;
EXTEND the protection from mayoral repeal to this bill itself, so as to avoid a dangerous loophole;
MANDATE that the Mayor and all other citizens of Augusta abide by the contract of governance that this bill sets forth in order to create an orderly society for the benefit of all who are party to it.
REVISE Article V, Part B, to reference this bill with the following text:
v. The Mayor has the ability to pass bills through the Autocratic method as outlined in various passed bills. The mayor is restricted and forced to abide by this bill: insert properurl here
