The assembly seems to be in hurry to proceed on final vote on legislation. A bill or constritutional amendment has been adopted in less than 48 hours. That is less than the standard 72 hours of debate.

If I understand the assembly procedures, it can cut the 72 hours of debate time by a motion for a final vote.

I don't see the votes for cloture in the threads. The speaker says 24 hours to object, nobody objects and then it goes to a final vote. If the majority of the assembly needs to vote for cloture, shouldn't assemblypersons actually vote?

Also about the amendment process the procedures on the wiki says:

Has the explanation been done ? I see advocacy but no specific formal explanation. Is it requires so it is posted on the ballot with the amendment like an explanation for federal amendment?

I have been looking and haven't found that many changes to the SOAP. In March the assembly went with fous slots for legislation. Then in May it was replaced with L 11.3.1 with an unlimited number of legislation on the floor. I think it also allows the assembly to vote to get a proposed legilsation on the floor.

For many actions like cloture it calls for a majority vote of the assembly. Right now the assembly has proceeded without holding a vote. (and to think it caused problem when someone asked on Discord if the assembly was ready for a vote)

The role of the Speaker is to try and follow the rules. You have been dismissing procedure on the pretense that all has changed.
