Be it enacted by the Senate and the House of Representatives in Congress assembled,

Status: Debating

[SevenEleven]

I move to sponsor on behalf of the President. 24 hours to object.

[SevenEleven]

I am in favour of regional registration and activity requirements being tied to federal ones, but I am pretty sure this would be a big intrusion into the rights of the regions?

How so?

[SevenEleven]

Can't support this bill. While I'm favorable to its intended goal this will have to be pursued at the regional level.

I urge the governments of Fremont, Lincoln, and the South to take this up immediately. 

How is this a regional issue? The Census is maintained at the federal level...

[SevenEleven]

Amendment is friendly, 24 hours to object.

[SevenEleven]

Is it possible for a Representative to assume sponsorship of this and move it out of the Presidential slot?

Is that even allowed?

I guess I’ll sponsor and motion to suspend the rules then. 24 hours to object.

I'm already the sponsor.

[SevenEleven]

Any more input here?

[SevenEleven]

What's the status of YE's amendment? I assume it's passed but a confirmation would be appreciated.

The amendment has been adopted without objection.

[SevenEleven]

I move for a final vote. 24 hours to object.
