4.5 should specify that a special election doesn't have to occur if the vacancy occurs when the normally scheduled election is only a couple of weeks away.

Also, the line-item veto process in 3.4 should be redone. I've always thought it weird that the Senate can't return to debate without first voting in a manner that allows the bill's sponsor to decide between reopening debate and sending the original back to the president.

In this case, BK's first recommendation would be one of the edits best suited for this period (BK, do you have a recommendation for language?)

I'll look it over and think of something, yeah.

Also, Verin, I don't think this is the proper venue to propose such a radical shift. This Convention was convened in the manner it was (quickly and with a small number of delegates) so it could perform the basically custodial task of tidying up the Constitution. If we attempt too much of a controversial change here, we risk having the voters throw out our proposed document, leaving the Constitution in the exact confusing state it was before and nothing having been accomplished.

I recommend that you look at this "new" Constitution as a cleaned template for you to later apply potentially radical amendments onto, if you so desire. I'll even introduce something in the Senate for you after the Convention, if you so desire.

Oh, and I also agree with putting terms in plain English wherever possible.

Just wondering, but do you want to write some sort of Question Time thing into here next to the state of the union?
