Signing statement
Well, quite funny that the first bill I sign will be one to repeal a bill I wrote. But, well, we all make mistakes and I fully admit that I was ignorant of the legislative history when I first wrote this way back in my first Congress as a Senator. I'm glad it's been caught and that it can now be fixed.

Signing Statement

While I don't personally see this bill as really changing anything - its provisions should follow directly from the Constitution, and I of course hope capital punishment is never reinstated in Atlasia  - I suppose it is good to still have this on the books.

These bills as well, Mr. President.

Quote

Quote from: Final House Version
A BILL
To protect the wellbeing and rights of Atlasians with learning disabilities

Be it enacted by the Senate and the House of Representatives in Congress assembled,
Quote
SECTION I: TITLE
1. This legislation may be referred to as the Stop Abuse of DNACPR Notices and End Waitlist Situations (SADNEWS) Act.

SECTION II: DEFINITIONS
1. For the purposes of this bill,
   a. "Vaccine" shall refer to COVID-19 vaccines that have received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
   b. "Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) orders," also known as "Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders," shall refer to medical orders written by doctors instructing healthcare providers not to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if a patient's breathing stops or if the patient's heart stops beating.
   c. "Learning disabilities" shall refer to clinically diagnosed conditions adversely affecting a person's ability to receive and process information, manifested by significant difficulties in the acquisition and use of listening, speaking, reading, writing, reasoning, or mathematical abilities.

SECTION III: FINDINGS
1. The Atlasian Congress finds:
   a. That, as presently defined, DNACPR orders are vulnerable to abuse by medical practitioners, administrators, or institutions;
   b. That COVID-19 patients with learning disabilities suffer an injustice when inappropriate DNACPR orders are issued for them without their consent;
   c. That, as a result of numerous environmental and bureaucratic obstacles to accessing treatment, people with learning disabilities are more likely than the average person to die of COVID-19 if they contract the disease and should be included among the highly-prioritized for COVID-19 vaccinations forthwith.

SECTION IV: RESTRICTIONS ON DNACPR ORDERS
1. DNACPR orders must not be issued in blanket form to any group of people.
2. Medical officers shall be required to notify the patient (if possible) and any relevant family members, legal guardians, or healthcare advisors before issuing a DNACPR order for the patient.
3. DNACPR orders shall not be issued without the patient's explicit and official consent to the decision, provided the patient is able to give such.
   a. If—and only if—the patient is incapacitated or otherwise unable to consent, their family member(s), legal guardian(s), or a previously designated healthcare professional (if any) may make the decision on their behalf.
4. The presence, or lack thereof, of learning disabilities shall not be grounds for consideration or issuance of DNACPR orders for patients.


SECTION V: IMPLEMENTATION
1. This legislation shall take effect immediately upon passage.


By a vote of 9-0-0, this bill passes the House.

People's Regional Senate
Passed 5-0-0-1 in the Atlasian Senate assembled,

It has been over four years since our current national flag was adopted, and I have for a long time found it...lacking and somewhat uncanny. As a result, I am ordering an effort to solicit proposals for a replacement flag. I am appointing Speaker and Former President MB to lead the specifics of this effort.

Quote from:  Executive Order 52-006
EXECUTIVE ORDER
to make provisions for the adoption of a new national flag

It is hereby ordered that an effort be undertaken to solicit proposals for a new national flag and make final recommendation(s) to the President and to Congress. MB, of the state of the Northern Mariana Islands, is hereby named to head this effort and conduct public proceedings for it as he deems necessary.
