They cannot however pass resolutions that will override the power or decrees of the Grandmaster and the Grand Chancellor.
Article 19 [The Prince Grandmaster]
The Prince Grandmaster is the supreme leader of the order and therefore he is the chief executive of the order with some legislative powers. However, if the Grandmaster deems it rightful, he may pass his executive powers to the highest elected official. The order and its constituents are subject to the decrees of the Prince Grandmaster once his executive power is restored. His decrees cannot be overturned or overridden by either the Senate or the Grand Chancellor.
a. Executive Order- Since the entire order is under the authority of the Prince Grandmaster, all constituents of the order must respect his decree unless his decree does not conflict with the order’s principles, Code of Chivalry and the morals of human society. This official order must be made public and announced to all the members of the order. Disrespect and neglect of the Prince Grandmaster’s decree would result in the appropriate punishment which will be decided by the Senate or the Grandmaster himself.
b. Emergency Power- The order is also the keeper of peace. In an event where chaos and public disorder has erupted and if all possible efforts for negotiations have failed, the Senate may be dismissed to give the Prince Grandmaster absolute control of the order. However, this must only be enacted if there is a clear threat to society or the order’s peace and stability.
Article 20 [Grand Chancellor of the Supreme Council]
The Grand Chancellor holds executive power within the order in trust from the Grandmaster. He may issue Grand Chancellorial decrees with the consent of the Senate or the Grandmaster. His actions are made on behalf of the Prince Grandmaster's name. He may accept, expel, deny and promote members in the name of the Grandmaster. His decrees bear the same power as the Grandmaster's although his decrees can be vetoed by the Grandmaster.
Article 23 [Ammendments]
Ammendments of the constitution or decrees can be made through petition and majority vote of the Senate or by Grand Chancellorial Decrees or Executive Orders.
