My main issue with giving the delegate powers to suspend treaties is that it could easily be abused, and it's a lot of power that could single-handedly change our participation in a major conflict based not on regional opinion, but on the opinion of one person.
Â
The cabinet should be just as capable of acting in emergencies as the delegate. I don't exactly understand why you think we need to risk putting power in one person when we have a capable executive voting body at our disposal. They are completely capable of responding to emergencies, and putting power in the delegate alone opens the door for important decisions to be rushed or unrepresentative of regional opinion.
