TRANSCRIPTION: CITIZEN POTAWATOMI NATION [color seal on original] RESOLUTION # 03-09 A RESOLUTION DECLARING THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF THE CITIZEN POTAWATOMI NATION SHOULD HAVE SEPARATE LEGISLATIVE, EXECUTIVE, AND JUDICIAL BRANCHES WITH CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTIONS FOR THE AUTHORITIES OF EACH BRANCH WHEREAS, the Citizen Potawatomi Nation is a federally recognized tribe of American Indians with the constitutional authority under the Oklahoma Indian Welfare Act of June 26, 1936, (49 Stat. 1967); and WHEREAS, the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, the largest of the Potawatomi Indian Tribes, has, through a history of organized self-government since time immemorial, sovereign powers inherent in Tribal tradition and recognized by treaties with the United States and in the United States Constitution; and WHEREAS, the Citizen Potawatomi Nation Constitution and By-Laws provide that according to Article 7, Section 2, "Subject to any limitations in this Constitution, and except for those powers expressly reserved to the Citizen Potawatomi Nation Indian Council by this Constitution, or delegated to another entity by this Constitution, the Business Committee of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation is empowered to enact legislation, transact business, and otherwise speak and act on behalf of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation in all matters on which the Nation is empowered to act now or in the future", except those relating to trust fund expenditures, trust land indebtedness and claims or treaties with the United States; and WHEREAS, a conflict of language exists in the tribal government structure described in the Tribal Constitution that has been the cause of disagreement and litigation between the Business Committee and the Tribal Chairman and has created a lapse in effective supervision and operation of tribal affairs, and RESOLUTION # 03-09 PAGE # 2 CITIZEN POTAWATOMI NATION WHEREAS, the language of Article 6, Section 2 of the Tribal Constitution grants authority to the Tribal Chairman and Vice Chairman as his designate for "general supervision of the affairs of the Council and of the Business Committee"; and WHEREAS, the language of Article 7, Section 2 grants the Business Committee authority to "enact legislation, transact business, or otherwise speak or act on behalf of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation in all matters of which the Tribe is empowered to act now or in the future" and then limits that authority by stating an exception for "powers expressly reserved to the Citizen Potawatomi Nation Indian Council by this Constitution, or delegated to another tribal entity by this Constitution,"; and WHEREAS, the Tribal Chairman contends that the Executive Officers described in Article 6 of the Constitution is the "tribal entity" to which the power of "general supervision" of tribal affairs have been delegated; and WHEREAS, the Business Committee has adopted legislation that denies the authority of the Executive Officers to hire or fire the directors of tribal programs and other key tribal employees without approval of the Business Committee, thereby inhibiting his ability to exercise the constitutionally reserved authority of "general supervision" granted in Article 6, Section 2 of the Tribal Constitution; and WHEREAS, the opinion of the Tribal Supreme Court in Citizen Potawatomi Nation Business Committee vs. John A. Barrett, Jr., Tribal Chairman made implicit references to the Court's authority to hear only "appropriate cases"under Article 11, Section 3 of the Tribal Constitution wherein the Tribal Court can rule on the constitutionality of Business Committee legislation, stating that the present conflicts of language in the Constitution are not "appropriate cases" and are best resolved by a vote of the Tribe on an amendment to the Tribal Constitution; and WHEREAS, effective tribal government requires "checks and balances" that protect against a too powerful or too weak Executive, and a too powerful or too weak legislature, and a judicial branch that can resolve the differences between the two without legislating or supervising tribal operations from the judges' bench, all of which is only possible when the Tribal Constitution creates separate and distinct Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of the tribal government; and RESOLUTION # 03-09 PAGE # 3 CITIZEN POTAWATOMI NATION WHEREAS, the opinion of the Tribal Supreme Court in Citizen Potawatomi Nation Business Committee vs. John A. Barrett, Jr., Tribal Chairman stated that separation of the branches of the tribal government is not clear under the present Constitution because the Executive Officers also serve as members of the Business Committee, which acts as the legislative body of the tribal government; NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that a Constitutional Amendment should be adopted by a vote of the people of the Tribe to resolve the conflict of language that exists in the Constitution, and that Amendment should create separate and distinct branches of the tribal government which reserves the power of the Legislature of the Tribe to control appropriated ["d" added in ink pen on original] monies of the Tribe by approving budgets and rules for tribal operations, and also reserves the authority of the Executive Officers of the Tribe to supervise the day to day affairs of the tribe including the essential right to hire and fire and reward performance by salaries within a budget approved by the Legislature, and allows the Tribal Court limited power to decide disputes between the Legislative and Executive branches when an act by either branch violates authority granted under the Tribal Constitution; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that by act of this resolution, the Business Committee of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation hereby authorizes the appropriation of $5,000 from the account of Tribal Government or Indirect Cost funds for the drafting, legal review, and submission for review and approval to the tribal and federal government, of a constitutional amendment as described in this Resolution, by the Tribal Chairman or his designate.
