Quote from: Senator Scott, PPT🍂 on June 20, 2017, 03:03:17 PM
I authored this amendment after a dispute regarding how houses of Congress act on rejected legislation that had been amended by the other chamber.  The status quo dictates that a chamber automatically have a revote on bills prior to that chamber's amendments.  This, to me, makes little practical sense.  If one house of Congress felt that amending a bill was necessary, why should it be required by the Constitution to hold a revote on the unamended version?  This amendment to our Constitution changes this process.

Should this amendment reach ratification, I will introduce subsequent legislation amending the rules of the Senate to reflect this change.

     Speaker Yankee is officially the sponsor now, and I would like to thank him for advocating for this bill.

Dear Mr. Speaker, I believe that this reform on how to handle rejected legislation is sorely needed.

This bill looks like a decent reform to smoothen our legislative process and make it more logical.

     This amendment seems to be pretty uncontroversial. If there are no objections, I can open the final vote in 24 hours.

Um, guys...

The text in red should read "by the other house." Were the amendment ratified as written, the Senate would gain the power to adopt legislation unilaterally by passing a procedural resolution, and the House would never be able to reconsider Senate bills previously passed with amendments. 

I object to the motion for a final vote and propose the following amendment:
