[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

AN AMENDMENT
To establish a floor for the number of candidates to be elected to the House of Commons, and to expand the present number of seats in Parliament.

Section 1: Title

This legislation may be cited as the Parliament Enumeration Amendment 2.0.

Section 2: Amendment Text

Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Fremont is hereby amended:

Section 3. Every Parliament shall continue for three months from the first meeting of the House, and no longer, but may be sooner dissolved by the First Minister, pursuant to certain provisions as established in this Constitution. The number of members to be chosen shall be one less than the number of candidates for election. However, when the number of candidates is eight or more, the number of elected members shall be seven. no fewer than four, not counting the First Minister.  If seven or eight candidates declare, five will be elected.  If nine or more candidates declare, six shall be elected.  If, however, fewer than four candidates declare for House of Commons before a snap or general election, the election shall be postponed until at least four candidates have declared.

Section 3: Effectiveness

This amendment shall apply immediately upon ratification, and a special election shall be held the following week for the election of two (2) Members of Parliament.

I motion to suspend the rules and proceed to a final vote.  Members have 24 hours to object.

Otherwise, a final vote is now open.  Please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.

Aye.

[YE]

Aye

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

In total honesty, I'm not overly fond of this formula: but as I agree with the principle of expanding parliament to four members, and ideally would like to see that achieved as quickly as possible, I will vote Aye with the intent of refining this process further in the future.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

Need I say that ramming through a major constitutional amendment in only 12 hours is, in my estimation, a blatant repudiation of basic due process.
