Creation of a National Public Radio Bill

1. The President, when applicants are available, shall appoint a Head of the National Public Radio Station.
2. The position is responsible for recording events that happen in Atlasia without bias or opinion.

(Sponsor: Speed of Sound)

[Verily]

I like the idea of this bill. However, I would like to be certain before we pass it that there are people (preferably multiple people so as to allow for future replacements, but at least one person) interested in running the Atlasian NPR.

[Verily]

We are now voting on the following amendment. Please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.

3. The nominee for Head of the National Public Radio must be confirmed in the Senate by a simple majority.

Aye

Senators have seventy-two hours to volunteer to assume sponsorship.

[Verily]

For a reason like that, I object to Senator Jake taking sponsorship, which prevents him from assuming sponsorship. My reading of 4.1.8 in the Senate Rules, Regulations and Procedures would suggest that this results in the immediate withdrawal of the legislation from the floor, but I'll leave the remainder of the 72 hours open in order that such an action be seen to be fully in compliance with the spirit as well as the letter of our regulations.

[Verily]

With (well over) twenty-four hours having elapsed, this legislation is withdrawn.
