Talk:Metal for President

This is a VERY good idea. I mean BRILLIANT, spectacular, genius!

However, the President of the United States of Antarctica isn't the most powerful creature in USA government. Technically, the real power lies in the Chief Justice of the United States of Antarctica (Judge Xavier), and even then, he doesn't get that much. After all, the actual power is in the courts.

The Chief Justice has the power to call forth (start) and dissolve (finish) the South Pole Council. He can make them convene whenever he thinks it is needed. The Chief Justice is in charge of the legislature and keeps it in order. As far as voting, he's just another member without any higher power.

In the judicial system, as Chief Justice, Judge Xavier can take a court case before himself and make an absolute (Supreme Court-style) decision that can not be reversed except by him. If the Chief Justice does not like the outcome of a particular case or thinks he should make the decision, he can make a case go to him instead of wherever it was supposed to go.

A good Chief Justice keeps his finger (flipper?) on the pulse of the court system. He is the model that all judges strive to be and he must excercise neutrality and impartiality in everything he does. He often is invited to speak to judges around Antarctica, giving them tips and advice on what to do in situations or what he would reccomend. He can often campaign for judges to be re-elected (USA citizens elect all judges except the Chief) or for a district to be drawn in a way he likes, but he can't actually do it himself, so he needs to be charismatic to convince others.

The President is a largely ceremonial position. His only real power is to create bureaucracies designed to execute the laws mae by the courts and SPC (but normally the courts). He is also Consitutionally guarenteed a primetime slot for a speech for any reason. Whenever the President wants to give a speech, he can, and television stations must drop their shows for him to be aired (Metal Explorer would likely abuse that).

Thanks. I'm glad you like it. I was originally going to have it be a Manny and Metal Episode, but I had a lot of ideas for it that I couldn't fit into a single episode. Also, sorry about the president error. I'll try and fix it later on. --Speeddasher

President?

Since this story hasn't been finished, I can't make any assumptions. I know it's supposed to be a story about a prank, but just in case you didn't know, Billybob is the USA's prez. ----Icmer In Nyc The best way to eat pie is to throw it at someone's face.

Don't worry, I know. This story is basically extreme editing Mayor McFlapp did as a prank for Metal. In the end, all of the trouble caused is rollbacked and only Metal and the Masters remember what happened. --Speeddasher
