NE2: Amending the SOAP (Passed)

[pikachu]

Basically fixing a few oversights from the last Speaker's elections. First, an extension in the nominating period in case people don't know what's going on after a Speaker randomly resigns. The second change is to clarify what happens after a write-in vote is made.

I am also fine with two days.


Just wondering, are Amendments to the SOAP any different from laws in how they get passed (go through Assembly, signed into law by Governor)? What about Constitutional amendments?

They'll get voted on by the Assembly, and (I believe) it requires a public referendum to pass. I'll double check though.

It only requires the majority of the Assembly to pass it because it's only related to the Assembly's internal workings.

Alright, this would have passed 3-0, though, since cinyc has yet to post the results, I'm not sure whether any of us are still part of the Assembly.

The new term doesn't start until Friday anyway.
