Preamble

We, the penguins of the United Servers of the Rebel Penguin Federation, in order to construct a more perfectly unified nation: ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare of our citizens, and secure our blessings of liberty within our nation borders. These four goals are what will establish our Constitution of the United Servers of the Rebel Penguin Federation.

Articles: I, II, III

Article I [Legislative Branch]

Section I

All legislative powers (namely: governors, the Head Warlord, Warlord, Head Generals, and senators) are granted as the Congress of the United Servers of the Rebel Penguin Federation, which will include the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Section II

The House of Representatives of the United Servers of the Rebel Penguin Federation will be composed of the primary Vice-President, Head Warlord, Warlords, and Head Generals, (thus comprising of all congressmen from the “army”). To be in the House, one must be at least a Head General. Once this requirement is made, one will be official. The primary Vice-President is the Head of House by default, and can only be removed from this legislative privilege by a two-thirds majority independent vote (of this House). He/she may assign a “Head pro tempore” if he/she wishes not to fulfill the duties temporarily due to personal or executive reasons and/or priorities.

Section III

The Senate will be composed of the Governors, and secondary Vice-President of the USRPF. To be in the Senate, one must be elected as a governor of a Server of the USRPF. Once this requirement is made, one will be official. There are 12 designated Members. The secondary is the Head of the Senate and cannot be replaced by a two-thirds abdicating vote.

Section IV

The entire Congress of the United Servers of the Rebel Penguin Federation will be assembled for meetings whenever the President posts a time. These assemblies will be about how to strengthen our great nation with our four goals of this Constitution. However, separate meetings may be called as well. The Head of Senate is the secondary Vice-President, Furbur27, by default. The Head of the House of Representatives is either the primary Vice-President, or another Member of the Lower House, if he/she receives two-thirds of the House’s votes. Due to a sometimes existing lack of attendance, the House of any House of Congress may propose a ONLY bills without a meeting. Every member of the House must have been confronted with it within 7 full days of its origin time. If both Houses fail to finish the Bill by the end of the frenzy, it will be automatically rejected. A simple majority of the entire Congress is needed to pass a bill. The bill may be reviewed by the Judicial Branch if an absolute majority is not met. This requirement to pass a bill is however with the anticipation that the Executives passed the bill. An absolute majority will be needed to override the Executive powers.

Section V

All members of the USRPF Congress have the right to judge the leadership of the President and his Silver Generals, Head Warlord, Warlords, and Head Generals freely. This is not for his impeachment, but to secure the blessings of our liberty to have freedom of speech. (See Amendment I).

Section VI

The members of the Congress of the USRPF will be paid with trust. The more influential members will be recognized for their decisions for our stable nation. Failure of the congressmen and/or any other government official to keep this secrets within “safe hands” for a stable government can be impeached for a “Constitutional offence [according to Article I, Section VI, U.C.].

Section VII

All bills will be made by the entire Congress of the USRPF. The House of Representatives will make bills for USRPF servers and forces stationed there. The Senate has the right to be seated in the “Grand Congress Hall” for a co-joined meeting at any time, if the Chief of Congress is present. All bills will be passed by them. For a bill to become a law, they must present it to President Commando717 for approval of the bill to become a law.  The Prime Minister, Lpg123 needs to sign it as well. When he agrees to it, he will approve it and it will be an official law; though the judges have to make sure it is constitutional. If he does not want to approve it, the Congress has the right to override it. An absolute majority of the entire Congress is required for a bill to become a law without the President’s, Prime Minister’s, or the Supreme Court’s approval. Congress may NEVER be suspended, or it is against Amendment I and this Consitution.

Section VIII

The Congress of the USRPF has the right to provide organizing for the RPF Military, Navy, Marines, Airforce, and Coast Guard. They, however, have no concrete/direct influence on the army’s actions itself.

Section IX

The migration or importation of ANY army must be granted permission to settle on our soil. Any army that is already settling our soil was already given permission to settle on our borders.

Section X

No server of the USRPF will be granted as a more noble server. Every server of the United Servers of the Rebel Penguin Federation will be treated as equal as its oneself. A USRPF server cannot declare war on an invading army unless getting permission from the President and approval by the Congress. Once permission granted, the server may defend its territory. It can only defend itself to the point of necessity, if permitted by the Server Governor. If the situation is critical, the President has permission to override the Congress in time of emergency to get things done, only if permitted by the Prime Minister AND Chief of Congress.

Section XI

The Chief of Congress, alias Speaker of the Houses, is the supreme official of the Legislative branch, granting him the same authority and privileges in the Legislative Branch, as the President is granted in the Executive branch and army. The Chief of Congress may reserve the right to act for the President in Congress, if he/she is absent. When a bill is proposed and agreed upon both sides of Congress, The Chief of Congress must inform the President of the news. The Chief of Congress cannot veto a bill all together, but he/she has the equivalent voting tally of 25% of all congress votes (that currently being 4). His privileges grant him to be the second most influental government official in the USRPF. The President can still override him in times of crisis, as declared by the Prime Minister, Chief of Congress, and the President himself. If the status of situation cannot be determined by this “best-of-three” voting format, the Congress will be asked to vote on the status in a “phase two” discussion. The Chief of Congress also monitors the Constitution and has the initiative right to propose any Constitution revisions in written format [blog post] at any time. His proposal MUST be introduced into Congress discussion.

Article II [Executive Branch]

Section I

The Executive Power will be commanded by the President, with the Prime Minister also playing a key role as the 4th member. The current count of two Vice-Presidents will assist the President, or benefit from the experience of standing next to the President. Each penguin in the Executive Branch has a limited term of office, which will be explained below in each section. If a penguin of this branch is leading in a such unconstitutional way, he/she will be impeached and the next penguin in succession will take over the impeached official’s position temporarily until another election takes place. For a penguin’s impeachment, it must be approved by the Legislative Branch and the Prime Minister, whose responsibility is to act “under the International Law” [german: "völkerrechtlich"] and to make sure the State also runs according to that International Law. An impeachment of any Executive can be determined by a simple two-thirds majority of the Legislative Branch. If the President is not re-elected or retires from office, the Prime Minister must nominate a new candidate, who will be voted upon in Congress. Re-elections for any office in this government branch will be determined by the Chief of Congress (who is also the Chief Electoral Officer in these situations).

Section II

The President will have complete control of all RPF Armed Forces. He has the power to form treaties with other armies, unless Congress vetos, and an official treaty will be created. He has the power to schedule meetings, or any type of activity (excluding warfare unless congress agrees). He also has the power to promote ranks of existing RPF troops, give ranks to new recruits, and demote ranks of existing RPF troops. He has the power to appoint penguins for the position if need be. The Congress is usually asked to “let the President decide”, but always has the right to question his politics in questioning period.

Section III

The President can whenever he wants reveal to the Congress secret information. This information will be for the Executive, and Legislative Branch, only, but can later reveal, little by little, information or intelligence to the rest of the nation, if agreed by the Congress. Only information that the President wants to give out due to secrecy may be published to the public.

Section IV

The President has the power to declare war on ANY army or nation, unless the Congress vetos.

Section V

The other “key” member of the Executive Branch is the Head of State – the Prime Minister. He/she must be confirmed into office by the Chief of Congress. The Prime Minister is nominated by the President. It requires an overall two-thirds majority of the Congress to undo the Chief of Congress’ appointment. The Prime Minister must ensure that the Nation and Army is run “according to the International Law”, as mentioned before. The Prime Minister supervises the President’s actions, and if it violates this Constitution or the International Law, the Prime Minister can veto any laws affecting the State, and can also call for an Impeachment with the Congress. The Prime Minister may be removed from office if the President wishes this to happen; a two-thirds simple majority of agreement must be formed by the entire Congress for this to happen. Prime Ministers serve for up two two terms of four months. He/she may award people with prestigious awards recognized by the Government and State. And lastly, he/she has the right to confirm a President with a minority in all 3 electoral attempts. He/she may dissolve Parlament if: the President only gets a relative majority – a majority that does not meet the written requirements; or the President wishes to dissolve Parlament to re-build it – to be confirmed into office. The Supreme Court may review if the Prime Minister is aware of the President’s proper use of this dissolving power or abusing it. He/she must have spent six months in this Army with a rank of General or above (the past-used “Marshal” counts) and have had the rank of Warlord; whether it be current or past rank. The Prime Minister may replace the President for absence if: wished so by the President (probably has specific reasoning), and there is only 1 “official” Vice-President. In any such situation, the “official” Vice-President and the Prime Minister divide up leading power evenly. If there are two Vice-Presidents, the privilege of the Prime Minister is effectively void.

Article III [Judicial Branch]

Section I

The Judicial Power of the USRPF will be taken place in RPF Supreme Court Chat. The 3 judges will run the Judicial Branch in both important or minor cases or interpretations for any law to ensure it is constitutional.

Section II

The Judicial Branch may extend to ALL cases, in law and equity, stated in this Constitution, the laws of the USRPF made, treaties made or will be made. The trial of all crimes will be by jury. The jury will be consisted by ANY RPF troop and a total of 5 RPF troops will be recognized as a fair and complete jury. Each judge will trial together in any and every case.

Section III

Treason (betrayal of the RPF) will only consist declaring war on them and his/her followers. The Congress has the power to declare a punishment for a treason, unless agreed by the President, and approved by at least 3 of the judges.

Article IV [The Servers]

Section I

Full faith and credit will be given to each USRPF server for public acts and records. Any act or record must be approved by the Local Senate/Governor. Only if an issue is deemed “Federal”, must the Server Government await the decision of the Federal Congress.

Section II

All RPF troops and citizens are entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in ALL USRPF servers.

Section III

The Server Governor has the power to make all needful rules and regulations toward every server within USRPF borders. All servers must follow those regulations (again, any decision made by congress must be approved by President and least 3 judges to analyze).

Section IV

The United Servers of the Rebel Penguin Federation shall guarantee to every server in this nation a Represenative-Democratic form of government and will be protected against any kind of enemy invasion.

Section V

The Congress of the USRPF shall create amendments to this Constitution. When the absolute two-thirds majority of Congress and the Chief of Congress agree, revisions may be made to the amendment. Any amendment can be repealed or changed, unless it gets the right regulations above.

Section VI

The treaties and laws made in this Constitution will be the supreme law in all USRPF servers. The Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branch must make an oath to follow and support this Constitution.

Section VII

The approval of all USRPF servers will be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution.

2. Amendments

Amendment I

USRPF Congress will make no law abusing any RPF right to freedom of speech, press, assembly, and petition.

Amendment II

No person shall be held to answer for an infamous crime, unless on a presentment or of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger, nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy.

Amendment III

All RPF troops have the right to vote in any situation whatsoever and cannot be denied by the USRPF government due to the RPF troop’s character or rank.

Amendment IV

The President may revise the Constitution at any time – unless the entire Congress or the Supreme Court disagrees. If the Leader feels he should deserve more power, he may consult the Prime Minister, and together their actions cannot be rejected by ANYONE.

Amendment V

Never shall the Founders of the Federation, namely Commando717 and Kyle Cease, have the right to overrule a decision by the active Government, as the two founders are, in context of their own statement, “retired” – the exact contrary of “active” or “in action.”

Amendment VI

To ensure the stability of leadership and government, any one Leader/President who retires from service is not entitled to a term after their retirement. They have chosen to retire, and the effect of their decision is permanent.

• Citizens’ Comments to the Government are read first, while Residents’ Comments are read after

Other Roles include: Member of the Government Cabinet; Participation in The Offices of Government Agencies; Member of The Army (No-Brainer!); Member of The Agency For Foreign Affairs/Being an Ambassador.

6. History

The Rebel Penguin Federation was founded on May 8th, 2007 by founder and previous leader, Commando717. The RPF was created during WWIII, when the UMA, Underground Mafias Army ruled over Club Penguin. The RPF was created during a civil rebellion inside UMA. Commando717 was a high ranked soldier who was given the power to run Tuxedo and given around 25-30 troops under his command. He later finds out how and why UMA is evil so he and his faithful soldiers make the most random, courageous, and probably the most risky act ever: they rebelled against the monopolized UMA from such low number of troops. This rebel UMA group, that was named the Rebel Penguin Federation, was successful in taking away Tuxedo from UMA, that is today capital of the USRPF. Within around a day or two, RPF was then the most talked-about army on Club Penguin. Major armies such as the ACP, Army of Club Penguin, witnessed the RPF’s courage to fight. Supreme Commander Oagalthorp of the ACP, now a retired leader, agreed to an alliance to stop UMA. Weeks went by, and finally the allied armies, including RPF, defeated UMA in WWIII. RPF became the most grown army in such short amount of time in Club Penguin history. Many other events happened after that: alliances with larger armies like Nachos, IW, WW, BB, etc. took place. Then, around 6 months later, the United Servers of the Rebel Penguin Federation was established. 3 months later, Kg007 became leader over RPF at Commando’s retirement. For about a month, Kg did not fulfill is duties and then left to join the ACP. The RPF had control over the 2nd page of servers, back when CP didn’t have an update. But around 2 months ago, a huge CP update in the servers on different servers were switched around, creating confusion on where other armies’ servers were. The RPF then considered ACP an evil army and the alliance was broken for about the week and former leader Kg wanted to engage war on RPF. Ziehen, elected in July as leader of the RPF, made a last minute alliance. Upon that however, the RPF accepted defeat and agreed to have all servers taken away except Tuxedo, Tundra, Yeti, Yukon, and Vanilla. RPF was then lacking in troops and a select few participated. Then, around 1 month ago, the Tundra Union was established. Tundra would be owned by the RPF, WW, and BB. Tundra has many wars and these armies and the RPF bonded together to ensure peace to its residents. Ziehen soon retired on 31 December, 2008. In place, the now legendary Founder of the RPF, Himself, Commando717 took back the leadership posistion as the now fourth leader of the Rebel Penguin Federation. Today, RPF is improving in recruiting troops, making treaties, etc. If you haven’t, join the Rebel Penguin Federation to protect CP and Fight The Good Fight.

7. Rules To All Armies

Below is the list of rules that all armies: allied, neutral, or hostile toward us can and cannot do:

1. Armies Cannot Settle On USRPF Servers Without Permission- It has been CLEAR that the RPF have the rights to boundary our servers part of nation. Settling within our servers without permission will give us the assumption that you are an enemy and we WILL attack you on sight. We do this because we care about our residents and citizens. You can; however, apply for a land grant to settle on ONLY 1 server of the USRPF (excluding Tundra). You will be allowed to use our resources, rooms, etc. without any problems with us. If we witness or suspect that you are abusing your grant, we will cancel your grant and deport you out of our nation. We do this because for the protection of our servers and people.
2. Armies That Break Treaties With Us will Not Be Tolerated - We make treaties because it insures that you will protect our residents and we will protect your residents. We have your back, you have ours. It is a win-win scenario. However, breaking an alliance for no reason cannot be tolerated. You have made a verbal commitment to us. Now if you are found to have a GOOD reason, we will do our best to correct the problem so that we can live with peace together.
3. Armies Cannot Be On Any RPF Chat With Meeting Or Session Present- The RPF likes to have our privacy, just like you. Unless you are a member of the RPF, you are welcome to attend meetings, sessions, debates, and trials. If you are a leader, second, or third command of an army, but is a member of the RPF, you cannot join our meetings because you have an army and nation of yours to run. If we invite you, then yes you are welcome to our meetings. We do this to prevent spies and spammers. Now, when the meeting is over or if a meeting or event on any type of RPF Chat is not engaged, you are always welcome to come on and socialize.
4. Armies Cannot Spam On Our Blog - If you are a citizen of the RPF, or given special permission, then you are welcome to post a link on a comment. If you are not a citizen of the RPF, your URL links that post on a comment will be marked as spam. We want you to comment, but do not want you to spam or commit the above rule.
5. Armies Cannot Take Any Material Off The Blog- All armies cannot take, without permission, anything written or prewritten on the blog. This is a criminal act called plagiarism. We want you to be creative your own way on what we’ve written on our blog. If you commit this, we will notify WordPress to delete your blog, we are not kidding. If you were in college and you did plagiarism on a paper, you would be given a 0 in that class and be booted out of that college if it was real life. Anything written by us is important to us. Unless you ask or already a citizen, you cannot copy and paste our exact wording.

Now, if you are an APPLIED citizen, you are protected under this Constitution and are given more freedoms and rights than anyone else. We don’t make these rules to be mean, but these rules are made to protect our blog, members, and residents.

8. Government System

We do not want our allies mad at us. All intelligence work is allowed to be conducted in any allied, neutral, or hostile army. This group does not spy or collect any information on current or past RPF Citizens. Their assignments are for other armies only.

10. Conclusion

In conclusion, this is the USRPF Constitution, created by the RPF and USRPF. This constitution will maintain what the RPF/USRPF can and cannot do. This sacred document is also for other armies what they can and cannot do to USRPF servers. This was created so that the RPF/USRPF can create and maintain a perfect unified nation,  to insure domestic tranquility,  to provide for the common defense, to promote the general welfare of our citizens, and to secure our blessings of liberty within our nation borders. Any rule broken in this sacred document from ANY RPF member is and will be for treason. May this constitution lead and maintain the RPF/USRPF for its golden age. This constitution proves that we, the Rebel Penguin Federation / United Servers of the Rebel Penguin Federation, was, is, and will be Fight(ing) The Good Fight.
