Southern Chamber of Delegates Thread-Introduce Legislation Here

[JustinTimeCuber]

Southern Right to Unionize Act (looking for another Southern citizen to cosponsor under Article IV, Clause 7 of the Southern constitution)

Given that - we don't want to become like Detroit.

Given that - Michigan is a right-to-work state.

Be it resolved that:

No legislation shall be considered in the Southern Chamber of Delegates which bans employers from requiring union membership for employees.

[JustinTimeCuber]

Bills must be proposed by current delegates, Justintime.

Article IV, Clause 7 of the Southern constitution clearly states that two Southern citizens can petition for legislation to be considered.

You can petition. I suggest getting NeverAgain to sponsor your legislation.

The Constitution give the same power to "the governor", "any representative", and "two Southern citizens" when it comes to introducing legislation. It says that if two Southern citizens petition to introduce [identical] legislation, it "shall first be considered in the South Legislature."

[JustinTimeCuber]

I don't think that's necessary. If he wants to sponsor it, then great, but I followed the procedure set forth in our Constitution and want the Chamber to follow those standards.

[JustinTimeCuber]

I don't believe that the politics of a similarly-minded Delegate and my motives behind this legislation are relevant, but I don't think a lack of response from Delegate NeverAgain implies his opposition to the proposal.

[JustinTimeCuber]

lol. Goodness gracious. First off, the bill is fine, I of course support the right to unionize and for working peoples to negotiate fair wages.

Also, to Ben's "point", we as Laborites are unique individuals who each agree and disagree on many issues. So stating that because both myself, and JTC are from the same party, we should agree on everything is extremely silly. I, of course, recognize that you have an issue with comradery and unity, so I wouldn't expect you to understand.

On the issue of the bill, I am more than happy to sponsor it, but I would prefer that Mr. Cuber do it when he is elected to the Chamber this weekend. We can now project...

I introduced, cosponsored, petitioned, whatever you want to call it, this legislation partly to point out the irony of a preamble clause of Speaker Ben Kenobi's legislation; however, I hope that the Chamber considers this bill as I believe the Southern Constitution very clearly says it should. I will withdraw my support from this legislation if a Delegate proposes similar legislation, but if I'm elected, don't expect me to back down.

Give me a break. Banning science from public schools!?

[JustinTimeCuber]

okay jesus christ we don't need an official beverage

[JustinTimeCuber]

This is literally the only thing we agree on lmao

I will 100% vote for this

[JustinTimeCuber]

Am I allowed to pre-file legislation?

If so,

Cuber and Jacobin are delegates so it doesn't apply to them. But if say, Peebs wanted to introduce legislation, Peebs would need a seconder.

Personally, I prefer that citizens confer with a delegate before introducing legislation, either federalist or labor, but that is my personal preference not a law. It is our duty as legislators to represent the citizens of the south.

We're technically Delegates-elect, so I think the same rules should apply to us as to every other citizen, except we should be able to pre-file legislation so that it comes up in the queue earlier. That's how most states, including MO, do it, allowing Representatives- and Senators-elect to prefile legislation. Peebs seconded them anyway so we're good lol

I'd like to co-sponsor this bill.

Thank you for co-sponsoring my beautiful, in-depth, detailed bill.

[JustinTimeCuber]

You might need an exception to be made. I can help with that:

I ask for unanimous consent to allow diptheriadan to continue to operate the Southern Chamber of Delegates Thread.

or maybe not, idk.

[JustinTimeCuber]

I move that the legislative queue be suspended, and that "Rules and Procedure of the Southern Legislature," sponsored by the Governor, be considered by the Chamber as S1 before any other Act or Resolution of the Chamber.

[JustinTimeCuber]

Look, I appreciate these memes, they are great memes, but they make me understand what's going on even less than I already do.

[JustinTimeCuber]

Siren's right, sometimes the speaker needs more discretion. The other delegates need to keep the speaker in check though.

[JustinTimeCuber]

If we want to do it fhtagn's way, I don't think we should do full 48 hour votes. I more agree with the Governor on this though.

[JustinTimeCuber]

Lol you think we don't see through your garbage plot? Keep wasting our time, and boom, it's May. Besides, the Chamber already had a de facto recess this week, and we've only got 5 weeks left.

[JustinTimeCuber]

Every week it's a new idea to stop us from doing anything.

I think we should wait to hear from all the actual delegates, Nev.

Hey Blair, maybe instead of making silly attack ads against DFW you can make one against the guy who is trying to vote himself some extra time off duty? Ben, I thought you were elected as a public servant. Given that you can argue on the internet right now, it appears that studying for those big exams ISN'T something that consumes literally every waking hour of your day.

Actually, Governor Never Again expressed his concerns about activity to me in a PM.

Many Atlasians are students. I don't see why we can't accommodate students with a week off during examinations.

Yes, because obviously all schools do it the second week of April.
Oh, they don't?
Let's just call off the whole session then.

[JustinTimeCuber]

Ben, why are you responding to this instead of studying?

[JustinTimeCuber]

To make it clear, I object to Ben's proposal.
