Senators have 24 hours to object to the Amendments.


I didn't have time to verify who picked this up last night. It was indeed TJ, who posted as such on the last page of the legislation introduction thread. This was introduced way back in December and that is the page linked to in the Noticeboard.


TJ has 24 hours from now to speak on this bill.

I am tacking on nine more hours to the objection time because I called it before TJ have "sponsor feedback". That way a full 24 hours will have lapsed after his having responded on the matter.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Isn't that an issue for the parties to decide?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Amendments passed.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Any other concerns or desired changes?

Any other concerns or desired changes?

^ I actually need an answer to this. I wasn't just shootin the breeze here.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Let me phrase it like this. Are we ready for a final vote?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

What is the situation here?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

When Senators talk about bills, it disrupts the processes and forces me to start over. A senator can call vote a final vote and I can open it at any time debate has expired for 24 hours.  When I ask the question and someone responds, I treat the response as a request for a final vote. But when you responded to Napoleon it voided the previous call for a final vote by Scott.

And responses to procedural questions that count as final vote requests don't count as "content debate" and thus don't violate the 24 hour rule.


Final Vote in Next Post, Please don't say anthing till it is up.
