Aye on the Amendment. 

Since I lived in Texas, I know a little about the importance of this amendment.

If anybody doesn't have any more resignations or would like to continue to debate on this bill I would like to motion for a vote. If someone posts that they would just ignore the motioning. Smiley

Well I am very leery about this bill. I do not want to force statehood upon those who do not want it. If the Puerto Ricans, in other words the GM, finds themselves in favour of this resolution then I see no reason to vote against it but if the opinions of the Puerto Ricans are not taken into account, again this is GM territory, then I am against this bill.

MAS' amendment that just passed requires a majority of Puerto Ricans to be in favor of statehood for this to come into effect.

I'm guessing that would have to be simulated by the GM for that to take affect then?

I'm not really sure how that work work, actually.  Given that no actual Puerto Rican vote for statehood is coming up, it seems to me that having the GM do it would be akin to having the GM just make stuff up.  However, I don't know of any other way of doing it, so I don't know.

I was mainly waiting to see if Colin Wixted had anything more to say, but it appears he doesn't, so okay, I'll call a vote on this bill.

The bill's final form is as follows:

2005 Puerto Rican Statehood Bill

I. After a majority vote of the citizens of Puerto Rico voting in the affirmative for statehood in a referendum administered by the territorial government of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is hereby entered in the Union of Atlasia as the 51st state under the name of Puerto Rico.
II.   The Senate shall vote on which region/district Puerto Rico shall be designated into.
III.   The State of Puerto Rico shall be given full rights from whichever district/region it’s placed into and be under full jurisdiction of the Atlasian constitution.

All senators in favor, vote "aye"; all against, vote "nay".
