Balance in power in The Government of The House of the Silver Deeps
  •  The High Council of HSD will have vote on all subjects brought up by the Lower   Council.  In order for a vote to get passed, it requires a two thirds majority vote.
  • If the Lower council disagrees with a final vote by the High Council, it then has the option to vote against it.  It wil require a two thirds majority vote against the vote passed by the High Council, to cancel it out.
  • All members of the House of the Silver Deeps have the power to bring up a concern that has the potential to be voted on, during official house meetings.
  • In the event of the Lower Council rejecting a vote that has been passed by the High Council, the High Council has the right to call for a house vote.  In this case the vote needs a two thirds vote to pass between the entire house.  Though those voters that do not vote either way, will be considered in favor of it.
  • In the event that the Lower Council deems that one of the High Council should not rule anymore, a two thirds vote would then remove him from his position.  An election would soon be held to fill that spot.
