With the failure of the Old Glory Act (and apparently having another spot available), we can finally begin to bring new legislation to the floor.

I hereby open debate on this resolution.

I don't really have much else to say other than that Jake's version of it is excellent and has my full support.

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.




This shall be read "can end the debate", not shall end the debate.

"Shall end" and "can end" mean basically exactly the same thing in this context.

It's my resolution. throw me a bone.

Actually, come to think of it, I think that "shall end" is better, sorry to say. Smiley  "Can end" sort of sounds like, "It can end the debate, but it may not."

Given that debate has halted for 24 hours and given that there seems to be nothing left to debate, I motion that this be brought to an early vote.

Me to. But remember it's can, not shall.

I still maintain that they're basically the same, but since it's your bill, we'll go with can. Smiley

Not yet; we still need two more senators to end debate.

Given that you seem to be ready to vote, I'll take you as one of them. Smiley

With four senators concurring, I hereby declare debate closed and voting open.

All senators in favor, vote "yea"; all opposed, vote "nay".

Yea.
