(To clarify, this is a bill concerning constitutional amendments,  in case the name confuses you)

Constitutional Amendment Bill


Clause One: The Senate As per stated by the constitution of the United States Election Atlas Forum, all constitutional amendments must pass through the senate gaining a two-thirds majority. Debate and voting shall be carried out according to the Senatorial Procedure Resolution. All constitutional amendments shall be given pride of place in the allocation of debate time on the Senate floor.

Clause Two: The Public As per stated by the constitution of the United States Election Atlas Forum, all constitutional amendments must pass a public poll. The public poll shall be administered by the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and shall last for a period of one week (seven days). During this time voters must post their vote on the amendment. The amendment will require a simple majority of the public poll to successfully pass and become a part of the Constitution of the United States Election Atlas Forum.

I had a thought about this earlier:

Do you want to bar the editting of votes so we don't get any changing of votes, etc.

Hmmmm, what would you recommend?

*bump*

This bill is intended for the next legislative session.

[JohnFKennedy]

I hereby open the debate on this bill, the first bill of the new legislative session.

[JohnFKennedy]

To confirm for all Senators, the basic reasoning behind this bill is that currently there is no official way to pass a constitutional amendment as the constitution is not explicit on exactly how it works. This is to clarify the method and make amendments to the constitution legal.

[JohnFKennedy]

I hereby open the voting on this bill, all Senators please vote yea, nay or abstain.

-------------

Yea

[JohnFKennedy]

Geez. How many constitutional amendments do you people pass on a weekly basis? It needs to be made, like, 90 times harder.

This isn't an amendment, it is a bill concerning constitutional amendments and the process of passage.

[JohnFKennedy]

With eight votes in favour to none against this bill has passed. I call upon the President to sign this into law.
