Drylands Precedent
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The Drylands Precedent was an archaic Gallifreyan law that was never repealed. It was established after a rebellion began, giving the President the power to create a militia.
President Rassilon "dusted off" the precedent to dissolve the Chancellery Guard and establish the Interior Defence Unit without the requirement of a vote of the Joint Council. (AUDIO: Havoc)
