[MasterJedi]

Global Treaty Organization Expansion Bill

1. The Senate hereby approves the expansion of the Global Treaty Organization treaty entered into on July 17, 2006 with the Governments of Australia, Brazil, Colombia, Germany, India, Japan, South Africa, and the United Kingdom to include the Governments of Argentina, Canada, France, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain and Sweden.

2. The President and other officers of the Atlasian Government shall take such actions, and enforce such regulations, as may be necessary to implement the provisions of the treaty with these new member countries.

3. This Act shall have effect only with respect to those countries which have ratified or approved the treaty, and which continue to comply with its provisions.
Spon: Sen. Hashemite

Supported but I'd also support the inclusion of South Korea and Norway, since you'd like to include Sweden.

[MasterJedi]

yeah, the GTO wasn't actually meant to replace the UN.

Well True Democrat actually wanted it to replace the UN eventually, at least that's what he told me. So maybe we snuck this by you back in the day.

Ok, so here's my amendment then to include countries, hopefully accepted as final with no other countries added that will make everyone happy: The following countries are added to the bill: South Korea, Norway, the member nations of the EU, Israel and Chile.

[MasterJedi]

Modified on Happy's request. And no one should hardly find it a surprise that I support Israel. And well even if you don't support Israel that much they are a major player and it would at least be interesting to see if 4/5ths of the nations would approve.

Since Hashemite doesn't seem like getting invloved with the amendment I introduced I'll do something different later. I'll open up a vote but have everyone cast a seperate vote on each different country.

[MasterJedi]

What gives you the power to do that?  No such vote has been proposed.  I object.

Ok, fine. I withdraw the one big amendment that I introduced before and re-introduce it as each country seperatly. 24 hours from now I'll open up the vote I described early. Thanks for wasting our time again like when you were too stubborn to withdraw the cloture vote on the healthcare bill so I could open the final vote right away. -_-

[MasterJedi]

Oh, don't be so touchy.

Follow proper procedure, Mr. PPT.

I do, I just get annoyed when uncontroversial things delay votes. Proper procedure would have been followed if you would have withdrew your cloture vote, and it would have sped up the vote.

And this was my amendment, I don't think anyone would care that I broke it up that way, it's not like I would do it with someone else's.

[MasterJedi]

I didn't withdraw the cloture motion because it took you three days to address the damn thing.  You were the one slowing things down, not me.

I gotta get to work.

The internet was out at my apartment. I asked if there would have been any amendments and then I would have opened it up early the next morning when I had access. You called the cloture vote and wouldn't withdraw it. So that took time. That took time which was not my fault since I had no internet while you did. I did what I could and you wouldn't work with me. I can't help that when circumstances were out of my control. But whatever that was in the past and you won't believe me.
