Start With the Budget?

[Defarge]

Distinguished Senators:

The time has come to determine whether we should complete the Atlasian budget now, or later.  By constitutional mandate, we must make the budget our first order of business after confirmations.  However, we can waive that rule by a 2/3rds vote. 

Therefore, I open for debate the following:
The Senate hereby waives the requirement toapprove the Budget before considering any bill or constitutional amendment.

Unless someone comes out in favor of delaying the budget, we will begin the process of passing the budget tomorrow.  Al, if you want to do it, feel free.

[Defarge]

Would any Senator like to introduce a bill declaring war on a random nation in order to evade the balanced budget requirement?  If so, we must get a 2/3rds majority to delay working on the budget, then get a majority on bumping the war bill up in the agenda, then pass the war bill.

That is, of course, if we follow the rules

If no senator would like to start a war, I will proceed to begin all the work neccesary to start working on the budget
