Amendment to the House of the Representatives Rules and Procedures for Operation

Quote
Article 1 : Officers of the House of Representatives
1.) The Vice President shall be known as the President of the Congress

a.) The President of the Congress shall keep a ‘Congressional Noticeboard’, where the Speaker shall update this board with recent events on their respective chamber’s legislation.

b.) The President of the Congress shall also track the activity of legislation of both chambers, by posting an ‘Activity Tracker’ detailing his/her own Congressional threads, along with Rejected and Passed Legislation.

2.) The most senior Representative, known as the Dean of Representatives, (seniority shall be determined by length of continuous service) who isn't on Leave of Absence, or the Representative chosen by the Dean, shall convene the House of Representative to elect a Speaker on the first day of each legislative session and when the office of Speaker is vacant. The House of Representatives shall elect a Speaker from among its members by majority consent within a 72-hour period. All votes cast following the 72-hour period shall be considered invalid. This period shall not be extended except if quorum has not been reached by the end of the voting period. In these cases, the Dean may extend the voting period for 24 hours. The Dean may terminate the voting period early if all Representatives have already cast their vote. If the Dean fails to start the election of the Speaker 72 hours after the start of the session, any Representative can proceed with the Speaker's election. In the event of a tie, the Vice President shall be the deciding vote in electing the speaker. The most senior Representative, who isn't on Leave of Absence, or the Representative chosen by the most senior Representative shall retain the powers and prerogatives as Speaker until the election of the Speaker.

3.) The Speaker, after taking his oath of office, must appoint a successor should he or she fall inactive. This successor shall be named the Deputy Speaker, and will retain all of the powers of the Speaker, if the Speaker falls inactive for over 120 hours or is on an LOA.

4.) If the Speaker falls inactive for a period of over 120 hours, without appointing a successor, the responsibilities of the Speaker will fall to the most senior Representative in the House. In the case of either an inactive Dean of Representatives, or multiple members having the highest seniority, the President of the Congress shall serve as acting Speaker.

5.) The Speaker will be subject to a Motion of No Confidence should his peers decide it, said proceeding being initiated if at least four Representatives have sponsored a Motion of No Confidence, introduced in the Legislative Introduction Thread, against the Speaker citing the motives of why the Speaker should be removed from his office.

6.) The Dean shall open a thread and commence the debates. Debates shall last at least for 72 hours. After the debates have elapsed, the Speaker shall open a vote, which shall last for 72 hours. In order to remove a Speaker, a two-thirds majority of the sitting representatives is needed.

Section 2. Recognizing the Need for Reform

WHEREAS, legislative debate under the bicameral system has slowed to a crawl;

IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, that Congress must move towards a model of debate in which both the Senate and the House of Representatives debate legislation in permanent joint session;

FURTHER RESOLVED, that such a model of debate must originate from a package of rules jointly debated and approved by both chambers;

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the best way to reach broad consensus on a new rules package is through a special joint session of Congress.

Section 3. Working Towards Real Procedural Change

1. The President of the Congress shall preside over a special joint session of Congress for the purpose of modifying the rules and procedures of both legislative houses, and unifying their procedural governance under a single set of revised rules.
a. The revised rules shall take effect upon their approval in the special joint session by both houses of Congress.

This is against freespeech and the very concept of human liberty. I will fight this bill with all my heart and soul. Free speech is about speech that someone may disagree with but that doesn't mean that it should be banned or come with prison time as that is what CHina or north Korea does.

Yes, so once Im able to get to a computer and update the board we can take a look. If you check my post, I said sponsored on behalf of Politics Fan, who introduced it. A bill still needs a House member to sponsor when dealing with amendments and what not.

Constitutional amendment on special elections

Quote
Special Elections Amendment
Section 3 Article 5 of the Atlasian Constitution shall be amended to be
Vacancies in the House of Representatives shall be filled by the executive of the affected Party; but should a vacancy occur as the result of the death, expulsion, or resignation of a Representative not being a member of a major Party, then a special election that shall be held to choose a replacement to serve the remainder of the existing term.

Justification: The vacancies being filled by special elections are more democratic since the people have a voice in choosing their elected officials. This amendment also treats more equally people from a major party and people not part of a major party.

Can someone cosponsor this for me?

Quote
Joint Resolution
To provide for a one-time, temporary extension of budget levels to allow the budget to be posted and fully debated without a shutdown.

Be it Resolved in Both Houses of Congress Assembled,

Quote
Second Continuing Resolution to Avoid Shutdown
1. Funding for Atlasia's government will be maintained at current levels through February 28th, 2021 or until a Budget Resolution is adopted.


Since we are on the 27th and I am not sure if the House will manage to get the budget done in 4 days, here is a final extension, this time for only 1 month.

Motioning to suspend the rules and go to a final vote directly while we are at it, as well as posting this on the House thread too

No problem.

Would also urge the Speaker to get this on the floor pronto so we can pass it before the government shuts down on the 31st.
