Senate Procedural Resolution

Section One-Definitions

Legislation is defined as any act, bill, amendment to a current act or bill, procedural resolution, or constitutional amendment.

Section Two

1) Clause 3 of Senate Procedural Resolution 1 shall be stricken, and replaced with the following clauses:

2) Each piece of legislation will be debated before a vote called. The debate shall proceed as long as it is necessary to discuss properly the matter in consideration.

3) If the debate has halted for longer than 24 hours, any senator shall be able to call for a vote on the legislation.

4) Debate shall proceed as long as a senator is speaking, provided intervals between different speeches are no longer than 24 hours.

5) However, after five days have passed since the opening of the debate, a motion with the concurrence of seven senators shall end the debate and the PPT shall call a vote on the legislation.


Cleaned Bono's proposal up a bit, and put it into a easier to read format.  Defined legislation and put his points into clauses. No substantive changes.


I urge the senate to pass the two resolutions on the floor.  They are needed badly. Also, a senator must introduce this.

Not really mine, it's Bono's with just clauses marked

This also has a majority.
