I was confused by the text "This rule takes precedence over any rule
that would provide another mechanism by which an Agoran decision may
be resolved." in R208.

If that text means other rules can't define mechanisms for resolving
Agoran decisions, that might mean it overrules R2466, acting on
behalf, since that effectively defines a mechanism for someone other
than the vote collector to cause the decison to be resolved.

But I guess there's no reason to think that it rules out defining new
mechanisms, and that sentence just means other power-3 rules can't
e.g. waive conditions 1-4 from R208.

It still works by the first paragraph of the acting on behalf rule,
which says in part "If the enabling rule does not specify the
mechanism by which the agent may do so, then the agent CAN perform the
action in the same manner in which the principal CAN do so, with the
additional requirement that the agent must, in the message in which
the action is performed, uniquely identify the principal and that the
action is being taken on behalf of that person." So e has to do
whatever the vote collector has to do, and also say e's doing it by
acting behalf.

Yes, acting on behalf is secured at power 2.0.

It worries me that this doesn't say how the decision is resolved.

Also is power 2 high enough to do this?

Sorry, didn't notice this until reviewing proposals to vote on.

They're essentially synonyms used in different jurisdictions. I did
"vobis" because the decision to use the writ comes from the PM, not
from the court.

Is this specific enough to prevent the issuance of different types of
Cabinet Orders within the same week?

Should this include the line-item veto conditional on the passage of
Murphy's proposal?
