SENATE BILL: Pacific Deconstruction Resolution (Passed)

[Fritz]

Would this precipitate a situation where we'd have two regions, two Senators, and 1 regional government?

It's possible, but we'd need to pass an amendment allowing that to be the case.

I don't think it would.  In fact, I don't think the senate even needs to be involved for this scenario.  The 2 regions would agree to combine their regional governments, and remain separate for senate representation.  Simple. 

I would be in favor of such a plan (in fact I proposed it once, a few years back.)

Never mind, I just got it. Would the RG still treat the regions as separate?

Yes.

Taking a quick look at the Constitution:

So I was wrong- the senate must consent to this first.

Why would the Midwest and Pacific regions want to give up one of their senate seats?  That would be like a state in the USA voluntarily giving up one of its reps in Congress when it wasn't required to do so.
