SENATE BILL: Regional Legislative...Authority Act of 2013 (Law'd/STR)

[MaxQue]

I support this besides the attempts to give legitimacy to a nonexistent governing document.

The document is considered legal until struck down by the Court, even if you don't like it.

[MaxQue]

A constituent has suggested to me that requiring a majority of a region's citizens to sign a petition requesting that a new convention be held might be too high a bar to set. As an alternative, we might consider replacing that requirement with "a number of signatures greater than half the number of votes cast by citizens of the region in the last presidential election."

I'm not quite sure which is best. What do the rest of you think?

That's better, since voters that missed the last three elections and are about to be deregistered won't bother to sign a petition.

[MaxQue]

Do you care to share why? A regional senator is a elected by the Region in question and thus carries that authority of having been elected by the people who are to be effected.

That's true, I just don't think Senators should be given responsibilities outside of the Senate, you know? Would you support giving it to the SoFE?

Perhaps we should ask to the SoFE if he is interested, first of all.

[MaxQue]

Aye
