Constitutional Convention Resolution

[MasterJedi]

This is bumped up and in the 5th slot as it's an important part of forum affairs.


Constitutional Convention Resolution


Whereas, the Mideast, Southeast, and Pacific Regions have applied for a Convention to amend the Constitution:

1. The Senate advises and consents to the calling of a Convention to amend the Constitution.
2. The President of Atlasia and the Governors of the Regions shall each appoint three delegates to the Convention.
3. The Convention may, with a two-thirds majority, expel a delegate for inactivity.
4. The Convention shall discuss the system of government (parliamentary vs. presidential), election rules and voting rights.
5. If the Convention decides to adopt a parliamentary system the Senate urges the Convention to use the system found here: https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/User:Pete_bell/Parliamentary_system along with an interim period.

Why would we have a convention that only discussed one issue? I thought it would be restricted, but a parliamentary system can be easily handled through the senate since it i just one topic. 

It was already discussed in the Senate and voted down but some people want it here so here it is again. And there is also election rules and voting rights to be discussed.

I hereby open up the final vote on this resolution. Please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.

[MasterJedi]

Aye

[MasterJedi]

The motion can't be stricken now.

There's 3 Ayes and that's it.

[MasterJedi]

It shouldn't matter--I don't think that the Convention is required to treat the relevant section of the resolution as binding.

It doesn't, as it says it's just a request, nothing has to come of it.

[MasterJedi]

There are 4 Ayes on the final vote of this.

[MasterJedi]

This resolution has enough votes to pass. Senators now have 24 hours to change their votes.

[MasterJedi]

With 6 Ayes and 1 Nay this resoltution has passed.
