[SOM] Deputy Provost Tweaks

@Mangegneithe

For the record, this is just a codification of accepted general practice – every Provost that I’ve seen take office has “re-appointed” Deputies from previous terms, so it seems like everyone assumes they’re not Deputies anymore anyway.

This was more so towards the situation where a Provost has been removed or resigns rather than at a regular election.

@Mangegneithe

until the next Provost takes office the new term has not yet begun.

3.1.1. has in it before the end of the Provost’s three-month term
This does functionally mean that the Provost cedes their authority after three-months have elapsed.

@Mangegneithe

So are you against the system Lucklife and I discussed as well?

Can you elaborate/summarize what you have discussed with Lucklife / how you envision the discussed system to work?
Also, how have you determined your 2-4 week time-frame until the removal of a Deputy can occur?

How I see this working out is that a situation gets to a point where the Magi believes to remove an official appointed by the elected Provost, then the Provost should also be subject to removal at that point too.

A. Magister petitions Provost to remove Deputy
B. Provost refuses
C. Vote commences amongst the Magisterium to confirm or override the decision to keep the Deputy

@CyberiumShadow

Each vote is a week – the vote to remove the Provost and the vote to elect the new Provost. Depending on how heavy discussion is, each might last a week extra – or even more.
