Baatrynsentii - Commentators and news reporters licked their fingers in the last few days as the most intense debate in the modern Supreme Congress caused spectacle and suprise. Parliament debated the government proposed "Check and Balance Act", a law that would use several loopholes within the constitution to further strengthen checks and balances on the executive branch. It would make it easier to remove the president, require confirmation votes on a whole variety of presidentially appointed positions and increase the influence of congressional committees.
The bill was heavily oppossed by the official oppossition, led by former President Yeke Anarba, who argued that the world was quickly becoming more uncertain and that a strong executive was required to lead New Verham forward. His ADK party accused the Bukha government of "a personal vendetta against the system created by his long time rival, our leader, Anarba."
Bukha in turn rejected these claims, reffering to several instances of corruption and nepotism in the last few years that warrant more oversight over the executive branch. He further reiterated his promise of a "transitional presidency", pushing ahead with the idea that his main goal this term is to strengthen New Verham's democracy.
During the last day of the debates, hours before the bill was set to be put to vote, ADK lawmakers attacked their KAN counterparts with sticks and chairs, wounding several. NOM and VPP lawmakers left the chamber in protest, before the brawl was put to an end after several minutes by Congressional Police. In the days preceding the brawl, a ADK lawmaker had tried to fillibuster the bill, but was also removed by the CP after he took a sip of his water which was considered to be an end to his speech by the President of the Supreme Congress. Other ADK lawmakers had managed to stall proceedings by using towels to block handles on doors into the chamber, as well as using chairs and closets to further block entry after congress sought to return following lunch. But all was in vain. After several days of debate, and even without the NOM and VPP lawmakers, a quorum was present, resulting in the passage of the CBA late today.
President Bukha thanked his party for "the tremendous work to further strengthen our fragile democracy." Anarba called the passage of the CBA "a dark day in New Verham history" and promised his supporters "to continue fighting for the strength and progress of our nation." President Bukha signed the bill into law within the hour, also putting forth nominees for several positions that now require a confirmation vote. As promised, he will not replace all Anarba era officials, instead choosing to only replace high ranking military officials, two High Court justices and a variety of lower administrative officials. It is expected that confirmation hearings and votes will take place within the month.
