Untangling the future

Hi everyone,
Tomorrow is Presidential election day. Win or loos this election, this would be one of my objectives/suggestions i would like to see occur.
After much deliberation, Grimstone and I (And we did spend quite some time looking at all angles) have concluded what we believe the best possible solution for the constitution revamp. At the moment we not currently making much progress with the new constitution draft and the consensus from the public is that a new streamlined and effective constitution is was eSA needs. Therefore this is what we propose:
We propose putting a team of knowledgeable, objective, proactive and passionate people together to draft a baseline constitution to present to the public and allow public input to formalize and further construct the constitutions with the help of the average citizens of eSA. Then this formalized constitution is then taken into national assembly to be further discussed and vetted by the eSA congress and then voted on.
A task such as this is a delicate one and there is no way to fast track it. We have a workable constitution in place currently and would make no difference if we were to use it for a few more weeks whilst everyone constructs our new constitution.
What we would like to see is the following. This is all based on the premise that the aforementioned people are interested and available to draft the baseline constitution
The team we feel would be a perfect fit to construct the basic constitution is:
Shiloh DeGreat
Al Kazar
Oprah Winfrey
Frank Furglar
Belea2008
Martin Warmonger
1 Representative from each eSA political party.
Now i am sure you will agree that, there is a perfect mix of people that will offer a wide variety of ideas which represents a variety of opinions. We hope that this task will allow some common ground whilst construction the basic constitution and at the same time offering some bonding time. We all know that for us to succeed we need to be on the same page striving for the same goals.
After the basic constitution has been written the public and eSA congress will be allowed to view it and further add or amend it. This then allows the opportunity for public ideas/suggestions which ideally is the most important factor for our constitution.
Finally, it will then be taken to the eSA congress to be voted on and hopefully passed into law.
This as president would be one of my objectives but as a citizen one of my suggestions.
Thanks for reading

As the president this is none of your business. The role of the presidency is to run the country in accordance with the law and not to formulate legislation. That is what congress is for. That an at least half that list have no idea of what a constitution actually is. Just saying.
That said, I do respect the suggestion coming from Krimpie the Caring Citizen.

Those that do know what a Constitution actually is, know that it is a set of fundamental principles that are the supreme law of a country, that all other laws or conduct inconsistent with it are invalid, that the obligations imposed by it must be fulfilled, and that all arms of government and all citizens of the country are bound by it.
The drafting of a Constitution is therefore the business of each and every citizen, and of all of government, including the Presidency. Even though Congress, as the legislative arm of government, has to ultimately vote it into law, a Constitution is not the exclusive domain of Congress.
Most if not all of the team suggested have a very good idea of what a Constitution is and of what we would really need in a Constitution.
I, for one, would be interested, available, and honored to serve on this team.
It seems you're suggesting we start a process that we are already well in to.
"After the basic constitution has been written the public and eSA congress will be allowed to view it and further add or amend it. This then allows the opportunity for public ideas/suggestions which ideally is the most important factor for our constitution."
We're already on that step: http://forums.erepubliksa.com/ccr/the-skeletal-constitution/
Better that you give suggestions for improving things as they are.
Good luck to everyone involved, rather you than me, lol
