was there a Constitutional amendment allowing for this? if not, I don't even see how FL 40-8 is constitutional, let alone this.

I would support something like a runoff between the next two highest ranking candidates.

Can't believe I'm about to say this, but Napoleon is absolutely right. That amendment is cuh-razy. Didn't Bgwah just recently pass a Constitutional Amendment allowing regions to fill their vacancies by special election? And now he wants to change at-large vacancies to appointments?

I really really hope that amendment is stopped.
Really it was my idea, and bgwah wasn't the most enthusiastic about it though he voted in favor.

This law has been passed by the Senate and was just signed by President Polnut.
Here is the text:Section 1, clause 2 is the part in question. Is it really constitutional for a political party to appoint a Senator for a full term? The constitution states:
Article I, S 4, c. 5

I believe that the "concession" does in fact, constitute a vacancy. Certainly this is he case if the seat is not filled by the start of the new Senate. Does anyone agree that a suit against this law may be in order?
