Election Ship
Questions for candidates - procedures and authority
<snip>
Scenario 3 (Louis - please answer this question first; other candidates can answer after Louis):
A CO vacancy has come up. The FComm has narrowed it down to two candidates, but is struggling between those final two candidates. One is the ship’s long-term XO. The other is a former CO with a lot of experience who is wants to be a CO again. After some discussion, you and your FComm ultimately agree on the second option, and you post an edict to that effect. It just so happens, though, that the CO you selected is also your VP and very close friend in STF. The rejected candidate is furious and believes you are playing favoritism over what is best for the ship. The rejected CO asks you to “come clean” in Command about why you made your decision in order to be “transparent”, otherwise will be asking EGO to review your decision.
What is the mechanism (if any) to review the President’s decision in this situation?
<snip>
Just to clarify (because I’ve been asked) - in all of the above scenarios you are answering as if you are the President. (If you are currently running as VP, assume you had to take over as President due to the President being absent or having stepped down - which I can say from experience is something you will potentially have to deal with.)

Not sure if Louis missed this, so I’m bumping it for his attention…
