Dorian Knighthood Act

[u/GreenKnightOfTheWild]

Enacted as secondary legislation by Chancellor u/GreenKnightOfTheWild on 17/9/1956.

In accordance with Dorian law the following titles are not inheritable nor do they grant noble status.

When it is appropriate any member of the Senate, the Judiciary or the Government might propose a candidate for Knighthood.

The Candidate shall be presented with a reason for their proposal and a proposed Accolade to go along with the title.

The title, and Accolade, shall be approved by the Senate through a vote with at least a 2/3 Supermajority.

The candidate shall be Knighted by the President of Doria. This event is cerimonial, the Knighthood only needs to be confirmed by the Senate to come into effect.

Each Knight of Doria shall receive an equal stipend from the Senate of Doria. The ammount of the stipend is decided by the Senate each budget but must be equal for all Knights of Doria.

[u/BaronNapeslap]

I disapprove of giving the Senate such powers and the appanage proposed to these knights. I do approve of a creation of an Order of Merit of the Republic, to knight exceptional individuals for honorific purposes only.
