*[[President of the Federation|President]] [[Zachary Hudson]]'s intention to remove the limit on his term in office has caused a deep rift among [[Congressman|congressmen]] and voters alike. Political correspondent Sofia Trevino analysed the situation in The [[Federal Times]]: "Ever since the 77th amendment to the [[Federal Accord]] was ratified in 2594, no president has remained in office for longer than eight years. This is why the Hudson Contravention, as [[Federal Congress|Congress]] officially refers to it, has turned up the heat on the simmering political division within the [[Federation]]. Members of the Cabinet and other leading Republicans have argued passionately that only Zachary Hudson has the experience and fortitude to guide the Federation through this eventful period in history. His supporters point to successes such as curtailing the [[Federal Rebellion of 3307|secession crisis]], ending the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] threat and introducing greater security via the [[Proactive Detection Bureau]]. However, others insist that repealing this amendment could pave the way from democracy to dictatorship. Two former presidents – [[Antonia Madison]] and [[Jasmina Halsey]] – have publicly condemned the Hudson Contravention as unconstitutional and dangerous. There are expectations that [[Shadow President]] [[Felicia Winters]] will move for a vote of no confidence. Political analysts suspect that after several controversial leadership decisions from Hudson last year, he would be unlikely to win over a majority in Congress."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/620b988f5b9f5e24ee291872 GalNet: Federation Divided by Hudson's Proposal]</ref> | *[[President of the Federation|President]] [[Zachary Hudson]]'s intention to remove the limit on his term in office has caused a deep rift among [[Congressman|congressmen]] and voters alike.

*[[Federal Rebellion of 3307|Many factions have seceded]] from the [[Federation]] in recent months, but recent polls suggest the likelihood of further withdrawals is waning. The [[Federal Times]] published an update on the situation by political correspondent Sofia Trevino: "Some negative reaction to the [[Proactive Detection Bureau]] was anticipated. But it's unlikely that [[Federal Congress|Congress]] foresaw nearly forty systems abandoning the [[Federal Accord]], as their governing factions declared [[Independent|independence]]. Fears that this would spiral into mass rebellion now seem misplaced, however. This is partly thanks to the PDB's recent role in preventing [[Jupiter's Wrath]] from committing terrorist acts. Although that group is hardly in the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA's]] league, evidence that communications surveillance can save lives seems to have convinced some Federal citizens to reconsider their opposition. [[Zachary Hudson|President Hudson's]] efforts against the breakaway factions were hailed by his supporters and decried by his opponents. But the [[Federal Diplomatic Corps]] remain displeased that Hudson suffered no repercussions for violating diplomatic immunity when attempting to capture [[Yuri Grom]]. [[Felicia Winters|Shadow President Winters]] continues to call for the PDB to be shut down to prevent the Federation from becoming an authoritarian police state. But many accuse her rhetoric on civil liberties to have triggered the secessions in the first place. Meanwhile, many Federal factions are carefully observing those who did become independent. Their future success or failure may well determine whether or not this rebellion continues."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61828975d49fa06f4261a0d7 GalNet: Demands for Federal Rebellion Decline]</ref> | *[[Federal Rebellion of 3307|Many factions have seceded]] from the [[Federation]] in recent months, but recent polls suggest the likelihood of further withdrawals is waning.
