Can I change MAS's vote or is that set in stone? I'm rather sure that I cannot change it as it was made by a prior Senator but I just want to be sure.

Presumably, his vote is erased by the fact that he has left the Senate.

Does that mean that I can now vote on this amendment since MAS left?

I don't think we have any rules for this. IIRC Mas abstained (could be wrong).

Yes I believe he did.

My assumption would be that if a current Senator resigned/left/impeached/expelled and he had placed votes on bills/amendments that were still open for voting, then those votes would be invalid.

In the same way, there is nothing in the OSPR that mentions anything about the bills MAS has introduced.  Are they removed, unless another Senator takes over sponsorship and how long does a Senator have to do this?

There is nothing in the OSPR that mentions either situations.  I'll think about adding some minor clauses that clarify this in the next revision/addition.

Yeah I defintely think this should be cleared up to avoid any legal messes.

If my vote does count I will vote NAY on the amendment.

If people give me alot of flak about this then I'll just let MAS's abstain stand.
