Third Constitution of the Republic of Atlasia

[Colin]

Nay, too short a time to make the Senate anything other than a rubber stamp.

Good Senator this is an amendment proposed to remove that clause from the Constitution as it stands.

NAY

a bill should clear both houses and be signed by the President before becoming law!

Make that an Aye, since I misread the amendment.

Have you even read the Third Constitution? Have you even read the amendment correctly?

[Everett]

Aye.

[Ebowed]

This amendment has passed.

This amendment has passed.

And the wiki has been updated.

So...  Any more debate to be had?

Amendment
That Article VII, Section 2, Clause 2, Sub-clause 3 be removed and the subsequent sub-clause be re-numbered accordingly.

(I think the various party's should be allowed greater flexibility in deciding on their lists for submission.)

I also would like an amendment introduced so that an impeachment of certain officials can be carried out, as there seems to be no prescribed method of removing a Supreme Court judge, for example. Any help would be appreciated.

Jas, youo're correct.  One area I forgot to include is impeachment.  I believe that impeachment should occur as it does in the actual US government.  The original trial should be in the National Assembly, requiring a majority vote to impeach.  Then, the Senate must convict the person with two thirds of the vote.  The Chief Justice will preside over the preceedings in the National Assembly and Senate.  If the Chief Justice is being impeached, the senior Associate Justice presides.  Can someone put this into amendment form?

[Ebowed]

Vote on this amendment: That Article VII, Section 2, Clause 2, Sub-clause 3 be removed and the subsequent sub-clause be re-numbered accordingly.

Here's the amendment for impeachmet.  I'm not sure which article to put it under, so I don't know the Section number, but here you go:

Section X: Impeachment Procedures

1. All civil Officers of the Republic of Atlasia, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
2. Impeachment proceedings may begin when any member of the National Assembly bring charges against any civil officer of Atlasia.  Impeachment shall be added to the possible agenda, as set by the Prime Minister, however if five members of the National Assembly petition for impeachment proceedings to occur, the Prime Minister can be overruled and the impeachment proceedings shall be moved to the top of the agenda.
3. If a majority of the members of the National Assembly shall consent, the charges of impeachment against any civil officer, the said civil officer shall be impeached.
4. The Senate will then vote on the articles of impeachment, requiring a two thirds majority to convict any person accused of the aforementioned crimes.
5. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Atlasia shall preside over all impeachment trials in the National Assembly and Senate, unless the Chief Justice is the subject of impeachment, in which case the senior Associate Justice of the Supreme Court shall preside.
6. Any member of the National Assembly or Senate accused of impeachment shall not be eligible to vote on his own impeachment.

Could someone introduce it?  Also, I'm not sure about the language.

We have to pick an article for it to go under.  I'm really not sure since it deals with all impeachments.

[Ebowed]

The amendment that we began voting on like a week ago has passed thanks to sheer inactivity.

We will now vote on the following amendment:

Impeachment Procedures

1. All civil Officers of the Republic of Atlasia, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
2. Impeachment proceedings may begin when any member of the National Assembly bring charges against any civil officer of Atlasia.  Impeachment shall be added to the possible agenda, as set by the Prime Minister, however if five members of the National Assembly petition for impeachment proceedings to occur, the Prime Minister can be overruled and the impeachment proceedings shall be moved to the top of the agenda.
