Be it resolved by two-thirds of each chamber that the Constitution be amended, as follows, upon ratification by the regions

Quote
SECTION 1.

1. This Act may be cited as the "Forced Labor Isn't Good Amendment”.

SECTION 2.

Article I, Section 6, of the Fourth Constitution, is amended to read as follows:

Quote
Neither slavery, nor involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crimes of which the accused has been duly convicted, shall exist within the Republic of Atlasia, nor in any place under its jurisdiction, nor may any draft or other form of compulsory service be instituted, unless approved by a public referendum in all three regions with a sixty percent threshold.

HOUSE RESOLUTION
Condemning and censuring PiT, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court

Quote
Whereas, Justice PiT has expressed reprehensible views about women, stating that "We men need to control reproductive access to one or more females to pass on our genes."

Whereas, Justice PiT has tainted the impartiality of the Supreme Court on which he serves, claiming "the left" is "a suicide cult" "tearing down society," and that he "pretty much" agrees with another Atlasian citizen that he "hates them, and [is] not being hyperbolic. [He] hate, hate, hate[s.] them and everything they stand for."

Resolved, that –
(1) the House of Representatives condemns and censures Justice PiT for conduct that disrespects the Atlasian people in a way that is not befitting a member of the Supreme Court; and

(2) Justice PiT will be censured with the public posting of this resolution by the Speaker.
