I envision two uses for this.

1. Questioning an official as to why they have not or will not do something.


2. Give officials an opportunity with which to put forth ways in which the Senate can improve the way there position operates or like lets say the SoFA finds a poorly crafted section in an electoral law, that could be improved. I would prefer however that small things be done outside this process, but use this proces for large overhauls of positions or changes that are very essential to them being able to perform there duties.

As for Contempt of the Senate, that would basically be intentionally lying or providing false information to the Senate via one of these hearings, or refusing to answer any questions at all(do note there are exceptions in the case of self incrimination), this is defined in Section 1 clause 4. I did not define punishments for Contempt as I would prefer to leave such a thing up to more experienced Senators and if someone offers an amendment defining this I will glady except it as friendly.

Also if there are any other simple non controversial changes that any Senator wants to make to the OSPR that is not included, such as shortening debate before PPT elections, I will except that as friendly as well.

I guess I will accept the amendment as friendly. However since Article 7 Sections 2 and 3 have been combined, wouldn't Section 4 be renamed Section 3?
