I was thinking the judiciary would review laws while the nations get to make the final say. I am flexible though. Emphasis should be on referendums.

For now let's avoid using titles but refer to the positions by their names in the NS system (e.g. WAD, founder). It is less confusing.

Why is the Delegate not in the executive branch if they are being elected as President?

The founder should have an official title, what is that?

The Senate does not work UNDER the Executive. It works with it. The Legislative Council would include the WAD and they would make the laws and such.
Ask Swiss to explain it.

The judiciary has the final say in the law, but the people pass constitutional amendments or cancel laws passed by the legislature.

A slightly modified version:
Executive Council:
-The President (founder)
-Chancellor (WAD)
-Minister of Security (Defense and Membership)
-Minister of FA
-Minister of Justice (governmental attorney, and organizer of cases)
=This body meets separately to carry out its duties much as we do now but in a more organized fashion however here everyone is equal. To further check Senatorial power the Ministers serve as direct advisers in their respective areas by proposing legislation. The Chancellor will then serve as the 'bridge' being both a minister and a Senator. The President is given this position to substitute what is otherwise a boring job of only maintaining security/order. The Minister of Justice (below) serves as a check of executive power by being part of the judicial branch he however is not a Senate adviser, that power is given to the 'Second Justice'.
Senate (base level):
-Some number + Chancellor (a further check we already have in place)
=Must follow provisions allowed in Constitution or the Executive/Judiciary can respectively ignore/veto it and declare it unconstitutional
Judiciary (base level):
-Two justices and the Minister of Justice
=They alone may try the President, along with anyone else. In cases where the government is not a party, any judge may preside.

I'm fine w/ chancellor. But the name swap may get a wee confusing.

The WAD is in the Legislative Branch. He is like the "leader" of it.
