UMP Governing Charter

Preamble

We Establish this United Monarchist Party of America (UMP) to advance and advocate for the establishment of an executive monarchy in the United States, promote the understanding and application of traditional monarchy and monarchism, dissolve the rigid stigma that has been set against monarchy, and assure and secure the survival of extant monarchies and dynasties.

State Chapters

All the States in the Union can have their own chapters which are subsidiary organizations of the overall UMP. The State Chapters are required to submit quarterly reports to the executive administration of the UMP on the 1st of April, the 1stof July, the 1st of October, and the 1st of January respectively. The first Quarterly report will be submitted at the beginning of the second full Quarter after establishment. There is only a required 3-person limit to starting a chapter, but a minimum of 25 members required to keep it active after the first 2 years of its existence and so on moving forward. Chapters are responsible for in-state administration and organization; in-state party outreach and promotion; in-state gatherings, celebrations, and formal functions. The State Chapters are allowed to have whatever administrative structure they choose, but if the overall chapter deems it necessary to change the structure they can with a no-confidence vote of a required 2/3 majority.

Regional Chapters

The Regional Chapters are larger subsidiary organizations within the UMP that oversee the development and progress of the various State chapters within their jurisdiction. Regional Chapters are responsible for ensuring each State chapter is directing its efforts most efficiently and that they be granted all resources or council necessary for them to obtain their full potential.

**Transformation Article**

When this party has carried out a successful campaign to establish a monarchy of these United States, the Interregnum council called and deliberated, the candidate offered the Imperial and Royal dignity and position and having accepted, then this party and movement will have fulfilled its duty and will thus be dissolved in its current form and structure effective immediately upon the accession of said Imperial and Royal person and family. Thereafter, will it transfigure itself into the Kings Party, the official Royalist Party of these United States, to act as support in the legislature for the Monarchy and be a check against potential rival parties and destabilizing forces.

This future Kings Party will not maintain the administrative structure of this current Monarchist Movement and will instead adopt a more decentralized committee structure.

The Chancellor will be nominated by the federal committee members from among their ranks to be the presiding officer and speak on their whole behalf. The federal committee is an assembly of one member from each of the States of the Union who in turn have been elected by the committees of each of those States. The State committee members are an assembly for each State based on State populations, with a required 100,000 persons per each member. The State committees in turn, like the federal committee, can appoint a State Chancellor to be the presiding officer and speak on their whole behalf.
