I agree most with Nix here. We won't impeach the two, so there is no harm done; but it definitely doesn't hurt if we have something left should we really need to impeach our President one day...

Your proposal seems sensible, BK. I could see myself supporting this.

I echo Mr Griffin's comments. We cannot just do away with the amendments because we have had a few (okay a lot, we now have a vacuum-cleaner in the Senate Tongue) impeachments that were a bit of an overreach, the mechanism in general is sensible, and we need a "backup plan" should something happen.

I don't think many want to wipe them out completely, and certainly we need to keep a tough standard for the judges and executive branch in some form through impeachment.

The Senate already has its own backup and had one before (hardly a backup considering the original purpose behind Senate Expulsion versus Impeachment, more like a primary alternative).

Okay, yeah. But still, this bill as such does not make sense in the current version, as it's doing away with everything. Maybe just amending the current version, so to strike the Senate parts, but keep the Executive and Justice parts?

The senate rules give me no leeway in what comes to the floor when, and unfortunately windjammer has introduced a lot of bills and some of his are on the floor at the moment, so Bacon King's take precedence.


Didn't you cosponsor the amendment to the constitution in question?

That's true, but I posted that before looking over the rules and they are quite clear that co sponsorship is no longer a thing:

and this governs how bills come to the floor:

Oh okay, now we see again what happens when I put my commentaries in things I don't know particularly much about Tongue
Thank you for clarifying it.
