The Imperial Dominion of the South's Legislature

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

     I was thinking, it would be interesting if we allowed people who were waiting to move to the region, like Ernest, to vote in the region ahead of actually moving here. That would require an amendment, though.

No, I disagree. That would allow people to announce they will be moving, vote ahead, and then not come. That cant happen.

I agree, unless we want to retroactively discard their vote, which might make entire elections hard to calculate. Unless we could make it so that they had a certain time limit after an election to fully move, that may make people think it not worth their time to fraudulize an election.

I think they should actually have to wait a few months or sit the first election out that comes after their move here.

     That would also require an amendment. As is, the regional Constitution is quite clear that any person who is a registered citizen of the Imperial Dominion of the South is entitled to vote in any of its elections. The original bill passed on the matter actually said that a person had to be included on the regional rolls to be able to vote in regional election. I changed it to say that they had to be eligible to be included on the regional rolls, because the original language is blatantly unconstitutional.

     Assuming that we interpret ChairmanSanchez's earlier statement as proposing an amendment to eliminate Section 4, I think now is the time to move to a final vote on this bill.

Aye!

[Dancing with Myself]

Aye

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I'll pretend that the subsequent sections were re-numbered.

[CatoMinor]

aye, sorry for the late arrival

[Mr. Taft Republican]

It's unanimous, passes, awaiting signature!

[Associate Justice PiT]

     On the Imperial Registrar Protocol Bill: by the powers vested in me as Emperor of this region, I thus sign it into law.

     Be it resolved, X Emperor PiT

[Mr. Taft Republican]

Please discuss this amendment.

SOIL Amendment Bill

1. All instances of the word “Senator” or “Senators” in the Southeast Legislature Standing Rules are hereby amended to read “Legislator” or “Legislators” respectively.

2. All bullet-pointed sections under each rule in the Southeast Legislature Standing Rules shall be allotted a section number equivalent to its position amongst the sections underneath that rule, except where it is the only bullet-pointed section underneath that rule.

3. In the newly numbered Rule 3, Section 4 of the Southeast Legislature Standing Rules, “it shall be ascertained that a quorum does not exist and not present” is hereby amended to read: “should it be ascertained that a quorum does not exist”, with no other changes made to the text of that section.

It looks good, it was my fault that I did not change it to begin with

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I won't push for a final vote now since ChairmanSanchez is still on leave, but in general we are taking too long to discuss bills these days. It shouldn't take 11 days to pass a simple consolidation bill.

[Dancing with Myself]

Not my fault

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I'm not trying to point fingers here. Just saying that we can do better.

Is there any new bills?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I believe we still need to vote on the old bill.

[Mr. Taft Republican]

This amendment was put forth by Darth Jbrase, enjoy.

Introduced on behalf of our Emperor

[CatoMinor]

I ask that becuase of the growing STD epidemic on college campuses within the IDS, we bring up the Trojan Act before the SOIL Amendment

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Sure, why not?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

May I ask-what is the Trojan Act?

[CatoMinor]

May I ask-what is the Trojan Act?

It is all in the Legislation intro thread, just a short little bill to help counter STD's
