SECTION III: TIMING

This law shall take effect immediately.

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

After careful thinking, I have decided not to sign. While the apology did honestly come across as fake to me (which is why I sent it to fhtagn because I was mad and I do stupid things when mad), I don't think a removal is necessary at this time. It is true we all make mistakes and ultimately this was a huge one to make, but jimmy is human as am I. I believe Jimmy should remain speaker at this time and reaffirm my support for him as speaker and as VP. Hopefully this will be a catalyst to be better as a body and for us to come together for more compromises.

Jimmy is a human? News to me!

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

Filing/prefiling/just don't want this to get lost between Congresses if we don't get to this before the end of session.
