S13: Amendment to Article IV, Sections 1-3 of the Southern Constitution

[West_Midlander]

I have no issues with increasing the size of the Chamber, given that the South is large enough to support higher turnout and there is obviously a larger demand for candidates, but I am not sure how I feel about making the terms longer.

If someone can provide a good argument for why there should be fewer elections, I'm open to considering it.

Actually, my reasoning for decreasing the amount of elections was because I thought that it would allow the Chamber to do more. I was actually planning on introducing an amendment to the Rules or Constitution along with this that would have made it mandatory for the Chamber to go over and agree on the rules at the beginning of each session to avoid problems later.

I think a good allegory to our current situation would be the U.S. House. With elections happening every two years, they're basically campaigning/fundraising all the time. Making their terms longer would certainly help with that.

Aye

Does anyone want to add anything before a final vote? I mean I doubt it given that everyone seemed to be okay with the amendment.

I'm OK with a final vote.

If passed will we hold a special election to elect more reps or wait until July to have 7?

I would assume we wait, because we wouldn't have a mandated static number of delegates, just 5+.

As vern1988's question has been resolved, I second the motion for a final vote.
