At dawn, Ed had already arrived at the residence of a federal independent justice and rang the doorbell.
The name of this justice is Eli Moss. He is 82 years old this year. He should have retired a few years ago, but Eli was so lucky that he encountered the era of widespread gene enhancement drugs!
As a result, after taking a tube of gene-enhancing potion, he is now full of energy, and his appearance has even returned to that of someone who is no more than 40 years old. It is said that he is considering having another son.
"It's you Ed, why did you come to see me so early in the morning?"
Looking at Ed being led into the house by the guards, Eli said with a smile.
"Old man, I'm here this time because of the presidential term!"
Ed's words immediately made Eli unhappy. A few years ago, Ed came to him and asked for his support in amending the presidential term.
At that time, he did not agree. Although he admitted that what Ed said had some truth, after all, the matter involved too much, and Eli believed that the time had not come yet.
Therefore, Eli taught Ed a lesson at the beginning, saying that he was too hasty.
In the following years, Ed didn't mention this matter again. Eli thought he understood it, but he didn't expect it to happen again. Did this guy really not understand it?
Now is not a good time and no one will support it!
"Old man, please don't rush to show me off. Please take a look at these documents first. These are all 3S level top secret documents! But don't worry, I have obtained authorization from the president and can give it to you.
Check it out!"
Ed said and handed over the document bag in his hand.
Although Eli was a little confused, he still took it and looked at it carefully.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, the more you look at it, the more your face will change.
"Are the contents of these documents true?"
Eli's eyes were fixed on Ed, as if he wanted to see evidence from his expression that he was deceiving him!
It's a pity that Eli is destined to be disappointed. Ed has no deception this time, so don't even think of seeing any flaws in his face!
"Old man, you understand now. If we want to go out, we must face the Babavi Empire. However, even if we can replace the Babavi Empire, we will be cleared out by the Vera Alliance!"
"The only way is to join the Xio Alliance, but in the civilized agreement of the Alliance, the clause on civilized leaders is a mandatory provision. What they are afraid of is that your policy is not sustainable!"
"Old man, you have to understand that we may now be the civilization with the shortest leader term among all the fourth-level civilizations in the entire galaxy!"
"Do you think the time is not ripe now? Do you really have to wait until the outdated system destroys the entire federation before the time is ripe?"
After finishing speaking, Ed sat there quietly and stopped talking.
Eli was lost in thought. He had to admit that Ed's statement was correct. A presidential term of just 10 to 30 years was indeed extremely unsuitable for the interstellar era.
Coupled with the current matter of the Theo Federation, no wonder he is so eager. If the leader's term of office cannot be passed in one day, he will not be able to sign a civilization agreement with the Theo Federation in one day!
Alas, I am indeed old and hesitant, and I no longer have the courage I had when I was young!
"Okay, I agree, but Ed, it's not enough for you to convince me, you have to convince at least 3 people to make it happen!"
"I understand! Then I'll leave first, old man. I have to convince you all in seven days today. After all, time waits for no one, and the Federation has no extra time!"
"Yeah, the Federation doesn't have any extra time to waste, okay, then hurry up and go!"
Ed's words gave Eli a great feeling. It was indeed what he said. The Federation had no extra time to waste. It was either life or death. There was no third way!
At 10 o'clock in the evening, Ed finally visited all seven independent justices. As for the results, what should I say?
Ed received verbal commitments from three justices, but three justices were still stubborn. As for the last one, he only said that he would consider it carefully, but did not give a clear answer!
The next day came, and under Eli's promotion, this federal justice meeting was convened immediately.
The topic this time is whether to change the presidential term to a lifetime term!
As for the process of the meeting, Ed also heard Eli talk about it decades later. It is said that there was a big quarrel in the meeting room and a vote was finally held.
Before the vote, Eli made a speech. According to him later, it was a speech full of threats. Eli was unwilling to say the specific content, and Ed never knew it.
What Ed knows is that the result of the vote that day was 5 to 2, and the suspension of the Presidential Law was passed, and the modification of the term of office was changed to a life-long term!
The so-called lifetime term means that unless the president himself resigns, is physically unable to continue to perform the duties of the president, dies, or the president is removed by a federal referendum, he is a completely lifelong president.
When the news came out, the entire federation was in an uproar.
As a representative of the justices, Eli also publicly explained the reasons for this modification. Of course, he would not talk about the part involving 3S top secret information.
After going through a series of explanations, most people still understood it. In fact, it was mainly because Lin Zhen and Lin Fan were so famous.
I took office during the crisis of the Federation's demise. I first pushed Liang Xingchen over against all opinions, thereby stabilizing the situation.
Later, he was the president who led mankind to counterattack the Oaks Empire and even opened up new territories for mankind. Therefore, many people jokingly called Lin Zhen the emperor of the ages because his achievements were so great that no other federal president could compare!
As for his son, he is even more powerful. He is one of the two great military gods of the Federation and has never been defeated in more than ten years. If you look at the battle loss ratio alone, he is even better than Liang Xingchen.
The most important thing is that the youth, longevity, highly developed brains, etc. that the whole people enjoy now are all brought by Lin Fan. It can be said that everyone in the federation owes Lin Fan.
Therefore, most federal people actually have no objections to Lin Zhen becoming the first lifelong president.
Besides, there is still an option to remove the president by referendum, so the people are not too worried.
Although there are always some objections, after all, the number of people is too small to make waves!
Moreover, the matter has become a foregone conclusion, and no matter how much they object, it will be useless.
On the same day that this matter was settled, Lin Zhen officially signed the Civilization Agreement of the Theo Alliance and officially became a new member of the Theo Alliance.
Of course, in this terminal, the current name of the Human Federation is confidential, and only the code name "047" is displayed.
