Congressional Discussion Thread
Mr. Reactionary:
Did Congress make Juneteenth a federal holiday in game?
FT-02 Senator A.F.E. 🇵🇸🤝🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦:
If we're gonna make changes to legislation we've already passed such as repealing them, can the authors of those bills at least provide the link(s) to that piece(s) of legislation they're trying to change?
Poirot:
Does it take a constitutional amendment to have a new state in Atlasia, Greenland for example. It seems the Senate can admit new state but the list of regions, subregions and states is explicitly described in the constitution.
So if the Senate approves a new state, can it do it without constituional amendment?
Mr. Reactionary:
Per the Constitution:
"The Senate shall have the power, except where limited elsewhere by this Constitution,
...
to admit new states and territories to the Union;"
and
"New states may be admitted by the Senate into this Union, and apportioned among the several Regions as may be appropriate; but no new state shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the Regions concerned as well as of the Senate."
Both clauses here suggest a new amendment is not required. When Labor gave 3 new States to Fremont, 1 to Lincoln, and 0 to the South in 2020, they did so by statute without an amendment. Since the South was cheated out of any new states in 2020, allowing the South to pay for the privilege of adding one is more than fair and appropriate. And geography is not a factor considering Lincoln includes the Virgin Islands.
Poirot:
On the judicial reform amendment...
Amendment is adopted without a word. No debate. Nobody speaking for or against it. It's disappointing.

This is going into parrallel universe. The court should be for real people.
The amendment is getting worse. In the latest version there is no reappointment possible so basically it is to kick out most of the justices. This is against the term of the contract when they were appointed.
