The Political Power Act is the primary set of procedures for all Mileth Officials. Its guidelines over-rule all other laws, with the exception of the Mileth Town Charter.

I. Holders of Office
Officials are defined as aislings who have taken office with a valid sponsorship as defined by Mileth Law. 

There are two branches of office: Judiciary and Legislative

In the list below, the values determine ranking. Officials of higher rank are considered superiors of those officials who are of lower rank; conversely lower ranking officials are considered subordinates. Officials who are the same rank are considered peers.

Judicial Officials:
1) Guard
2) Guard Captain
3) Judge

Legislative Officials:
1) Demagogue
2) Burgess

Common Officials:
0) Respected Citizen
1) Knight*

II. Substitution
Under various circumstances substitution of officials may be required. In all cases at least two officials are required. To establish superiority over another official, the rank values must add together to be greater than the rank value of the official in question. In order to utilize actions of another office, the ranks must add together to be at least equal to the rank of the office in question; Judge, Burgess, and so on. An official from the branch that the case is related to, will act as the lead official. 

If ordering actions required is possible only by the opposite branch, it is preferable to at least one official from the opposite branch. If this is impossible, it may be ignored.

In cases where there are insufficient available officials in one of the branches, the highest available rank in descending order of either branch, may substitute or become the lead for officials of the opposite branch instead, based on their rank. It is permissible to substitute officials from the opposite branch in emergencies, time sensitive situations, bias, lack of officials, etc. The senior ranking official in either branch may increase their rank value by one should it help break any stalemates. 

The lead official must collect sufficient proof of support. Should one of the assisting officials refuse/fail to participate, they may be replaced. 

In cases where an investigation involves substitution, the lead official will bear responsibility. If misconduct charges are established, the remaining officials who assisted may be charged with a demerit or probation.
