As fhtagan's closest ideological successor, I'd like to sponsor this as well.
Now what? So, I guess I object to Thumb's and hope someone seconds my sponsorship?
BTW - where are the current House rules, so I can read up on them and not ask these stupid questions?
You can only sponsor one thing at a time so you'd have to choose to either sponsor this or the affirmative action bill. You also don't need someone to second a motion to assume sponsorship - so you can simply object then motion yourself.
That said, if you chose to sponsor this bill, then I'm fine with withdrawing my motion and letting you sponsor.
You can find the rules here: https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/House_of_the_Representatives_Rules_and_Procedures_for_Operation
I'll take the Affirmative Action Bill. You can have this.
