SENATE BILL: Shut Yo Face Resolution (Passed)

[Napoleon]

I wont sign this attack on free speech in any form. Sorry.

[Napoleon]

VETO

[Napoleon]

Actually, I take that veto back after re-reading the text. It says "recommend", so it is a resolution and not a bill. That is what I get for trusting Marokai's post.

Still, my administration will not pursue these recommendations.

[Napoleon]

I oppose the creation of a formal welcome thread, but I don't oppose the sentiment expressed. I had opposed the penalties however. This isn't a very big deal to me.

[Napoleon]

On second thought, this is within my power to veto, and is hereby vetoed.

[Napoleon]

Wait, so if the President can veto resolutions, does that mean none of the Senate committees should basically exist because the resolutions that created them were never signed into law?

No because those are specific to the rules of the Senate.

[Napoleon]

The Constitution states that in order for the Resolution to become law, it had to be signed by the President. So if a piece of this resolution contained something seeking to be entered as a law, then the whole thing would need his signature. However, this entire resolution merely states recommendations by the legislative branch, and doesn't seek to become law, therefore it wasn't transmitted to the President for that reason.

I guess if the the Constitution says he can veto, he can, but it has no practical affect at all because you can't stop a bill from becoming law, unless it was aimed at becoming so in the first place.

Yeah I don't think it really matters either way at this point- I think the clear opinion among Atlasians is that a welcome thread would be unnecessary and redundant.
