AN AMENDMENT
To House of the Representatives Rules and Procedures for Operation
Article 3, Section 2 is amended as follows:
2.) The presiding officer shall allow 24 hours for objections to an amendment following its introduction. If no objections are filed, the amendment shall pass. If any objections are filed, a vote shall be held. This vote shall last until a majority of sitting Representatives have voted to either approve or reject the amendment or until 3 days, i.e. 72 hours, have elapsed. No representative may change his or her vote once the voting period has concluded.
When an amendment to legislation has enough votes to pass or fail, the office in control of the legislative slot may announce that he or she will close the vote in 24 hours and that any Representative who wishes to change his or her vote must do so during that interval. The Vice-President shall have the ability to break tied votes. If a tie has not been broken within 72 hours of the end of the voting period, the tie shall be automatically broken in favor of the nays.
By a vote of 5-2-1-1, this passes.
