Never tease a weasel!
This is very good advice.
For the weasel will not like it
And teasing isn't nice.

> His Majesty proposes to change kingdom law as it pertains to the selection of

> 
> Current Law
> 8.3.10.1 The Principal shall be chosen, by election, from within the
> order. The Crown shall conduct this election every two years, when the
> members of the order petition the Crown for an election, or when the
> Principal resigns from office. Election responses will be sent by
> order members directly to the Crown and shall not be collected locally
> in any fashion, nor shall they be forwarded to the Crown via any third
> party.
> 
> 8.3.10.1.1 Each Principal shall continue in his/her capacity for a
> period of no longer than four years.
> 
> Proposed New Law
> 8.3.10.1 The Principal shall be chosen, by the Crown, from within the
> order. The Principal serves at the pleasure of the Crown. The Crown
> shall conduct a polling every two years, or when the Principal resigns
> from office. Polling responses will be sent by order members directly
> to the Crown and shall not be collected locally in any fashion, nor
> shall they be forwarded to the Crown via any third party.

> Personally, I object to this change, and have been in conversation with
> His Majesty about this. I'll not bore y'all with the details. However, he seems
