Speaker Stanisław Małachowski opened today's proceedings highlighting the importance of overcoming disagreements for the sake of national benefit. Today's heated discussion centered around the future of General Inspectors in the military.

In the debate, Senator Michał Walewski from the State of Sieradz argued for maintaining the offices and postponing the definition of their duties. Meanwhile, Representative Mateusz Butrymowicz from Pinsk questioned the qualifications of current General Inspectors, igniting a contentious discussion about their roles and merits.

Representative Paweł Grabowski responded by asserting that the king (The President), Stanisław August Poniatowski, had the prerogative to grant such positions as Civil Military Officers following a consensus. Butrymowicz persisted, querying the identities of these Inspectors, leading to a broader discussion of military qualifications and merit versus financial means for advancement.

Representative Aleksander Zieliński from the State of Nur expressed his concerns about the lifetime appointment of Inspectors, arguing for their temporary status and more efficient use of national resources.

In a passionate contribution, Prince Kazimierz Sapieha, Marshal of the Lithuanian-Belarusian Confederation, highlighted the distinction between legislative and judiciary powers, stressing the need to focus on the duties rather than the current holders of the general inspectorate.

When it came time to vote, senators and representatives discussed the appropriateness of lifetime appointments and the ramifications of removing these Inspectors from their positions without just cause.

After a prolonged debate, with multiple voices advocating both for and against the current Inspectors, the Congress agreed to maintain the lifetime status and pensions of the current General Inspectors while leaving future appointments to the discretion of the Military Commission.

With this matter temporarily resolved, Speaker Małachowski invited colleagues to continue discussions outside the formal session in hopes of expediting future proceedings. The session was adjourned until Monday. As debates on military reform persist, we witness the balancing act between preserving institutional tradition and invigorating The Union's defense capabilities.
