Section 2: Standard Administrative Removal Process

To remove a lower-level Board Manager, Director, or Secretary for breach of duty or ethical code:

A minimum of 50% of the Administrative Board must vote to initiate a removal request to the Members.
The removal request is forwarded to the General Assembly. A 75% or greater supermajority vote from the Members is required to approve the removal.
Upon Member ratification, a final simple majority confirmation vote by the remaining Board members seals the removal.

Section 3: Presidential Impeachment and Removal

To remove the President from office for gross negligence or systemic misconduct, the system requires an 80% total system approval (requiring a completely unanimous vote from the remaining 7 Board members combined with a concurrent supermajority vote of the General Assembly).

Upon hitting this 80% threshold, the President is removed immediately.

[1]

ARTICLE IX: VOTING PROCEDURES AND AMENDMENTS

Section 1: Public Listing Requirements

All permanent structural advancements, server integrations, software upgrades, operational changes, and bylaw amendments must be publicly listed on BlessingFans.org for a minimum 5-day open voting window before ballots are tallied. Emergency safety or cyber-security votes may bypass this timeline only if authorized jointly by the System Operations Manager, Ethical Director, and President, with immediate notification sent to all Members.

Section 2: Legislative Flow

All requests for systemic changes or new platform rules must be formatted and submitted through the Secretary for formal Presidential review. The President may order additional research or request operational modifications. Once the President approves the structural framework of the proposal, the Secretary is legally bound to file the bill and present it to the Board and General Assembly for a formal vote.

Section 3: The 75% Supermajority Rule for Grants

All platform grants are engineered through a collaborative team union between the Grant Ministry Operations Manager and the Financial Manager. To protect the organization's funding pool, every newly proposed grant must secure a 75% supermajority approval vote from the board before any funds can legally leave the Treasury. This 75% threshold is calculated by splitting 40% of the vote between all board members, excluding the President and Vice President, alongside the remaining systemic thresholds.

Section 4: Amending this Constitution

Amendments to operational management rules, voting power allocation percentages, or these core Bylaws require a 75% supermajority vote of the combined system (Board block + General Assembly block). However, Article I (The Spiritual Mission Statement and strict USA-only operational boundary) is permanent and unalterable; any attempt to change the geographic boundary or mission requires a 100% unanimous vote of all registered active platform members across the United States and must adhere to all Laws and Regulations. Blessing Fans can not vote to Support any country outside the Geolocational area of the American hemisphere.
