[Sestak]

Right. Advocacy here.

This mostly brings the main metagame legislation in line with the Fifth Constitution.

The amendments to the FEA changes all references to "House" to "at-large Senate" and remove references to Congress and the Speaker of the House.

From the Census Act, we repeal the 180 day regional move requirement; I think there is no need to give Peebs the extra work of counting two separate requirements of different length, and the 56 day voting bar should have us covered with regards to strategic registration. The amendment to the Presidential Succession Act merely strikes the Speaker and House members from the line of succession.

Finally, an addendum is attached to the common market agreement assigning those residing in UK territory to subregions.

[Sestak]

Senate?

[Left Wing]

Does anyone have any issues with this or can we move to a final vote?

[SevenEleven]

This seems pretty straightforward. If I have time to double check later, I can.
