Bundestag and Council of Ministers Separation and Powers Act
Proposed by Squid Fuspris on July 19th, 2020, the Act defined the powers of the Bundestag and the Council of Ministers.
Under this Act, the Council of Ministers was no longer automatically given a seat in Bundestag, but instead was to have an appointed Chief minister who presented and voted on bills on the council's behalf.
The appointment and removal of all ministers, including the Chief minister, was to be administered by the Bundestag, the Chancellor, the Vice Chancellor, and the King. This act was repealed on July 3, 2022, under King Edward I
