Introducing this amendment:
Quote
A BILL FOR AN ACT
Establishing a legal threshold for federal party status

BE IT ENACTED BY THE SENATE RESOLVED.
Quote
Section 1, TITLE.
i. The title of this Act shall be, the “Proportional Party Majorness Agreeable Gateway Act.”
ii. This Act shall not be referred to using the title's acronym.

Section 2, THRESHOLD.
i. A federal political party shall be considered a "major party" when the party in question either obtains a membership that consists of at least 10%5% of the federal electorate or has a member of their party place at least third place or higher in the most recent race for president.

Section 3, ENACTMENT.
i. This bill shall take effect starting with the first census held after either signature by the President or a veto override.

With this change I think the bill is far more reasonable, and also allows Peebs to not have to deal with a new reform party popping up, getting 3 members and falling apart.

Got it. Anyway, nay on the amendment, personally I’m fine with the status quo but if Peebs is having trouble (which seems to be the case) then the 5% threshold makes more sense to me.
