What do you think?

If this is friendly, I can present an amendment with Part 2 replaced with this.

[Senator Cris]

I retire my amendment presented on September 3.

This is my new amendment, that is identical to the Adam's amendment, except the Part 2.

Adam, If you agree with my amendment, I think that you should retire your amendment in order to call a 48-hour vote on my amendment. If not, I will call a 48-hour vote on the Adam's amendment.

Are we ready for a final vote or anyone desire to present an amendment?

[Senator Cris]

I don't agree with the Governor for two reasons.

1) In the text, legal immigrants have the same rights as Midwesterns, except only the right to vote in the election and the right to be eligible for a period of only 2 years.
If you desire to abolish the part "Except the right to vote in federal elections and the right to be eligible for local and regional offices", you need also abolish Points 2 and 3 of Part 2, because if you want the same complete rights, you can't leave Points 2 and 3, because these points are a negation of the abolishment of "Except the right to vote in federal elections and the right to be eligible for local and regional offices".

2) I think that legal immigrants should wait 2 years to vote and to be eligible.

So, I'm against the Governor's amendment.

[Senator Cris]

Representative, what do you think?
I have intention to open a 48-hour vote on the Adam's amendment today.

[Senator Cris]

In effect, thinking better, Adam's amendment is right.

We have a tie, but in this case the Archduke is the tie-breaker.
So, the amendment has passed.

Representatives, are you ready for a final vote?

[Senator Cris]

Before opening a final vote, I think that all the Representatives (GAworth, RR1997 and Gass) should swear in.

[Senator Cris]

Accidentally clicked on this. Is Part 3, clause 3, legal? I mean as a regionalist, I will gladly forget I looked in here, but still.

Change the three years back to two years and then I'll vote AYE.

Sorry... my mistake. The final text is with 2 years, not 3.

[Senator Cris]

The text has passed the Althing!
