2.) If the Speaker determines that a piece of legislation is functionally impractical, frivolous, or is directly unconstitutional, they may, in a public post on the Legislation Introduction thread, remove said legislation from the House queue. The sponsoring Representative of the legislation shall have seventy-two (72) hours to challenge this action in a public post, and with the concurrence of one-third (1/3) of office-holding Representatives in the affirmative (excluding the Speaker), may override the actions of the Speaker.

  Resolution condemning Fast-Food Burger and Pizza Restaurants (Wulfric) - frivolous   


I hereby CHALLENGE YE's frivolous declaration of the following resolution:

Quote
Resolution condemning Fast-Food Burger and Pizza Restaurants



The Congress Hereby:

- Recognizes that fast-food Burgers and Pizza are typically made with grease, ingredients designed to add fat, and/or inordinately large amounts of toppings, and typically served with ridiculously unhealthy french fries.
- Recognizes that Restaurants, including but not limited to, McDonalds, Burger King, Five Guys, Wendy's, In-And-Out, Chuck-e-Cheese, Pizza Hut, and What-a-burger, that serve fast-food burgers and/or Pizza serve little purpose other than to make people Obese.
- Hereby Condemns all such fast-food burger or pizza restaurants for being the biggest cause of obesity in the region, and urges the populace to never eat at such places.

This is distinctly different from the rejected Ban McDonald's Act as it does not change current law. Instead it merely expresses the sense of Congress that fast food is bad. This should be a commonsense resolution that we can all get behind. I thus urge two other representatives to sign onto this petition, such that it can reach the floor.

I don't see a post in the Legislation thread declaring a bill frivolous so not sure what happened.

If someone wrote a bill and waited for it to reach the floor, I think it's preferable to let the sponsor advocate for it and debate.
