Democratic Republic Act

Whereas, the Republic of Atlasia is a democratic republic, where citizens directly elect Senators to exercise legislative power; and

Whereas, under the Atlasian Constitution, any exercise of legislative power must be subject to a vote of the democratically-elected Senate; and

Whereas, the shifting of legislative power from the democratically-elected Senate to unelected NPC bureaucrats is lazy, unconstitutional, and a betrayal of The People;

1. Now therefore be it ordained that the Regulate Regulatory Regulations Act (SB 116-44/ 2023) is hereby repealed.

2. This act shall take effect immediately.

[Deep Dixieland Senator, Muad'dib (OSR MSR)]

Persuant to Senate Rule, Article I, Section 4, I initiate a Motion of No Confidence against acting PPT LouisvilleThunder for the following reasons:

1. For improper conduct as Deputy PPT. During SB-117-18: Stop the Harassment Act, LouisvilleThunder acting contrary to the Senate rules, attempted to illegally count an amendment vote that was at least 9 hours late to influence the result to his desired outcome (turning a defeat of the amendment into a tie). As Deputy PPT he had to be overruled, and cannot be trusted to act as an impartial PPT.

2. For displaying partisan hubris unbecoming of a PPT.

3. For not resigning his position as acting PPT in order to restore Wulfric to the positon of PPT, when Wulfric only lost the position and he only gained it due to two seperate technicalities.

Should this motion be successful, I intend to nominate Wulfric as PPT.
