Hello there eKiwis! First off Id like to congrats the 40 special Kiwis who made the list as our Congressmen for the month of October/November. It is astonishing to see the results, oh and i must congrats myself, first congressional win! As life granted these individuals to the Congress of New Zealand, they now need a set of goals, rules, and stuff to keep them on task. I have devised a list for this called the Congressional oath of Office.
Let us begin

The New Zealand Congressional Oath

As a Member of a Congressional Office in the Country of New Zealand, I have power to decide laws and and make decisions on behalf of the people of New Zealand.

I hereby swear to use these powers for the greater common good, and not for Political Party Interest, or not for greater power.

I swear that I will actively participate in Votes to Pass or Decline Laws that have been brought up by another member of this Legislature

I will vote on these laws not for the better of my Political Party, and not on the President's Order, but on my better judgement and for what I and the people feel would be right.

"I will vote on these laws not for the better of my Political Party, and not on the President's Order, but on my better judgement and for what I and the people feel would be right."
Some things need to be voted on President's Order, which I suppose you could have meant in "I swear to respect the President's decision in Foreign Affairs, Economy, Politics, etc."
