===Executive Order - Instant rank ups abolished=== | |||
Michael J. Barclay wrote the Executive Order that abolished instant rank ups which was signed by President Honda on the 26th March 2022. In his White House Announcement, he stated: "''Why is this needed? Overtime more and more department leaders have gotten more lenient with their promotions. This has led to the devaluing of ranks and therefore people have lost their ambition to rank up through time and dedication, as they see someone else get a position instantly which would otherwise have taken them weeks, if not months, to get. I therefore expect this executive order to help boost activity within departments as players feel more incentive to play and perform to a high standard in the hope of receiving an appropriate promotion''." | |||

Throughout Michael J. Barclay's time as Vice President in the Honda Administration, he was a staunch supporter of '''declaring war on Lech'''. On the 16th April 2022 in White House Announcements he stated: "Myself and the Cabinet believe we should go to war with Lech to install a democratic government that pursues capitalism and the rule of law, as it is clear the Lech government has no respect for our law, with many of their own officials breaking it everyday", then holding a public poll on whether to go to war, which 25 of respondants voted in favour, with 5 voting against. While Michael J. Barclay continued to pursue a declaration of war on Lech, war was never achieved due to admin rejection. | Throughout Michael J.

Wrote the '''War Reemployment Act''' which was passed on the 21st April 2022 which legally established that any citizen in any job may temporarily leave their position to join the Department of Defense to help defend Vindex Nation during times of war or conflict, with a guarantee that once their time in the Department of Defence comes to an end that they may re-join their original position. Michael J. Barclay said in his White House announcement that "This act will fulfil a core goal of our administration, to increase activity in the Department of Defence and to give our nation a strong military defence" | Wrote the '''War Reemployment Act''' which was passed on the 21st April 2022 which legally established that any citizen in any job may temporarily leave their position to join the Department of Defense to help defend Vindex Nation during times of war or conflict, with a guarantee that once their time in the Department of Defence comes to an end that they may re-join their original position.

In his day as acting President, Michael J. Barclay abolished all taxes by lowering them to 0. This was only a temporary move to see if it would work over the long term. Taxes have never been re-instated since and remain abolished. In his White House Announcement, Michael J. Barclay stated: "As my first act as the acting President of Vindex Nation, effective immediately there shall be a temporary abolishment of taxes (lowering them to 0) for this week. This is following the success of the Vindex Lotto, a lottery backed by the full faith of the Vindex Nation government, providing the Treasury with a very healthy profit in a matter of 30 minutes - profit that would take us much longer to raise through traditional taxes. We are looking into how sustainable such alternative sources of revenue are, and if so, a permanent abolishment of taxes will be on the table." | In his day as acting President on the 14th March 2023, Michael J.

[[File:Quote.png|frameless|50x50px]] | [[File:Quote.png|frameless|50x50px]] | ||
* '''Transparency and professionalism''' - As President, I shall bring a whole lot of transparency to the actions I take, making frequent use of the #whitehouse-announcements in the White House discord to keep the public well informed. In that, I want to be a professional President. This may be a game, but President's of the past have not treated the office with much respect, I can go as far to say that some have abused the office and I can pledge that that shall not happen during my tenure. | *'''Transparency and professionalism''' - As President, I shall bring a whole lot of transparency to the actions I take, making frequent use of the #whitehouse-announcements in the White House discord to keep the public well informed.

* '''A well-advised President''' - Presidents of the past have ruled through tyranny, making decisions without any insight or consultation. As your President, I shall seek majority approval from cabinet in all major decisions that I make. I shall hear all sides of the debate before I make my decision, in order to ensure it benefits the many, not the few. | *'''A well-advised President''' - Presidents of the past have ruled through tyranny, making decisions without any insight or consultation.

* '''Server activity''' - Activity has greatly diminished in recent months, and while during President Honda's term the administration was hindered by the actions of staff in preventing events which we believed would bring about high levels of activity, such as war with Lech, I shall still do everything in my power to bring about more activity.

* '''Transforming the Department of Justice and Vindex Police Department''' - Throughout my time as a Police Colonel, SWAT Commander, and DEA Agent, I thrived off of determined leadership. Such leadership has deteriorated this year due to a lack of activity in the VPDL, it is time for that to change. If elected President, I shall appoint President Tadakatsu Honda as Attorney General to bring the experienced and determined leadership that the Department of Justice so desperately needs. I understand that the DOJ is at the core of Vindex Nation, so it will be one of my priorities to get it back on track. | *'''Transforming the Department of Justice and Vindex Police Department''' - Throughout my time as a Police Colonel, SWAT Commander, and DEA Agent, I thrived off of determined leadership.

* '''Competent Foreign Affairs''' - The foreign nations on this server play an important role in bringing depth to gameplay, so as President I will be engaging in diplomatic relations with both Lech and Wilden, with the goal of spreading Vinish values both home and abroad. The pursue of democracy and the rule of law are vital in the leadership of a nation, and the nations who share these values will be at the top of my list for cooperation and even alliance.

Fairweather to Secretary of State will demonstrate this commitment. | *'''Competent Foreign Affairs''' - The foreign nations on this server play an important role in bringing depth to gameplay, so as President I will be engaging in diplomatic relations with both Lech and Wilden, with the goal of spreading Vinish values both home and abroad.

* '''No tolerance of Corruption''' - As President, I will only appoint those who I have absolute faith in to perform their duties to the best of their ability in Cabinet. If anyone in my Cabinet commits any form of corruption or abuse of power, I will have no hesitation to seek their removal from office. There will be a no tolerance of corruption policy in all of my departments, and this will be achieved through an executive order to require Department leaders to immediately fire individuals found to be corrupt or abusive. I am open to giving skilled individuals a second chance, but only after they have received sufficient punishment. | *'''No tolerance of Corruption''' - As President, I will only appoint those who I have absolute faith in to perform their duties to the best of their ability in Cabinet.

* '''Housing and Development''' - The build team are doing a fantastic job at bringing about new sections of Viridis, and as President I look forward to seeing the release of a new addersfield during my tenure. While this is in the hands of the staff building team, I will do everything I can to encourage the continued development of Viridis, but to a somewhat limited extent as to not overload the nation with too many new properties. | *'''Housing and Development''' - The build team are doing a fantastic job at bringing about new sections of Viridis, and as President I look forward to seeing the release of a new addersfield during my tenure.

* '''Modernise the Judiciary''' - The judiciary is a vital part of Vindex Nation and the rule of law. Currently, it can take weeks, sometimes months, for trials to take place in game, making the current system highly inefficient and justice difficult to be served. As President, it will be my goal to implement a system whereby all stages of trials/cases can take place via discord. In game role play will always be encouraged, but understandably it’s difficult to organise a time for all parties to be online at one, which is why I believe this policy will greatly improve our justice system. | *'''Modernise the Judiciary''' - The judiciary is a vital part of Vindex Nation and the rule of law.

This policy idea is still in development and therefore open to improvement. A Government Credit system would be introduced, maintained by the Executive, it would give all government employees (Members of DOJ, DHHS, DOD, etc) a rating depending on how active they are and their performance. This would be beneficial for people applying for leadership positions in their departments, as a higher credit would mean a Department leader looking more favourably upon you - thus incentivising activity and performance. The Government Credit would increase in a number of ways and Department leaders can decide how to implement it with oversight from the President (or whoever they delegate this power to if they choose to).
