===ARTICLE VI: THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL===
===ARTICLE VI: THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL===
# The EC shall be composed at all times of five voting members ���?? four flag officers, and one Captain At Large. If at some future time the group has grown to the point where fairness and demographic considerations suggest additional members, the number shall be increased by amendment of this CONSTITUTION in accord with article IV.
# There are a maximum of five seats available on the EC, however, only three seats need to be occupied for the EC to function, providing a Captain at Large participates in all votes. As such the EC shall be composed at all times of minimum four members, and may be structured in any of the following ways:
## Three Flag Officers, and one (voting) Captain at Large.                                                                         
## Four Flag Officers, and one (voting) Captain at Large.
## Five Flag Officer, and one (non-voting) Captain at Large
# If at some future time the group has grown to the point where fairness and demographic considerations suggest additional members, the number shall be increased by amendment of this CONSTITUTION in accord with article IV.
# The Membership of the EC shall be composed only of flag officers, or by captains with at least one full year of service at that official rank.
# The Membership of the EC shall be composed only of flag officers, or by captains with at least one full year of service at that official rank.
# While all members of the EC must be flag officers, not all flag officers shall be members of the EC unless the EC is expanded or an EC member retires or is expelled.
# While all members of the EC must be flag officers, not all flag officers shall be members of the EC unless the EC is expanded or an EC member retires or is expelled. All flag officers and captains with at least one full year will be considered if the EC is expanded or if an EC member retires/is expelled, however, providing the EC is functioning within the requirements of Article IX, part 1 (above) then the EC is not required to fill an available EC seat until a suitable candidate meets the EC’s requirements (chosen at their own discretion depending on the UFoP’s demography at the time).
# Once a flag officer becomes a member of the EC, he shall remain a member of the EC until such time as he shall be removed in accordance with Article VIII hereafter or until he retires.
# Once a flag officer becomes a member of the EC, he shall remain a member of the EC until such time as he shall be removed in accordance with Article VIII hereafter or until he retires.
# Except as specifically related herein otherwise, all votes of the EC shall be by majority (3 of 5) and no vote shall be deemed valid unless at least three voters have participated.
# In the event that a stalemate is created through the votes of only four members, and after all due diligence the fifth member cannot be contacted to so participate, the vote of the CC member at large shall be disregarded, thus breaking the tie. If the CC member at large has not voted, then the vote of the least senior member shall be disregarded. Only in these events will votes be disregarded.
# Captain At Large:  
# Captain At Large:  
## The EC shall appoint during each year a "captain at large" (CAL) from the Captains Council. This shall occur by a deliberation of the Executive Council members, and upon a decision, an offer shall be extended to the chosen captain. A majority vote shall be used if a decision can not be reached.  
## The EC shall appoint during each year a "Captain At Large" (CAL) from the Captains Council. This shall occur by a deliberation of the Executive Council members, and upon a decision, an offer shall be extended to the chosen captain. A majority vote shall be used if a decision can not be reached.  
## The CAL shall retain his position on the CC and so perform his duties therein.
## The CAL shall retain his position on the CC and so perform his duties therein.
## The CAL shall hold the right of one vote on both the CC and EC councils.  
## The CAL shall hold the right of one vote on both the CC and EC councils (as restricted in Article VIII).  
## No CAL shall serve in such office more than two years in five as a captain.
## No CAL shall serve in such office more than two years in five as a captain.
## The CAL should seek to do what's best for the captains, although this action may not necessarily what the captains would vote.
## The CAL should seek to do what's best for the captains, although this action may not necessarily what the captains would vote.
# Reserved Powers: The EC reserves to itself the following powers which can be exclusively exercised only by the EC by majority vote or by other such vote as may be called for elsewhere in this CONSTITUTION:
## The CAL is bound by his duty requirements as outlined by whatever procedural documents are presented by the EC, and approved by the CC.
## Vote viability of the CAL:
### When the EC is composed of five Flag Officers and a CAL, the CAL is present as an observer with full discussion rights but without voting rights. The Captain at Large may always vote, however, his vote will never be counted unless the fifth EC member has failed to vote. Thus in the event that a stalemate is created through the votes of only four members, and after all due diligence the fifth member cannot be contacted to so participate, the vote of the Captain at large shall be counted to break the tie. If the Captain at Large has not voted and neither he nor the fifth permanent EC member can be contacted, then the vote of the least senior member shall be disregarded. 
### When the EC is composed of four Flag Officers and one (voting) CAL, the vote of the CAL will always be counted.
### When the EC is composed of three Flag Officers and one (voting) CAL, the vote of the CAL will be counted, unless a stalemate occurs. Should an unbreakable stalemate occur, the vote of the CAL shall be disregarded to break the stalemate.
### Only in these events will votes be disregarded.
