Signing statement
Again I appreciate the chance to give and receive feedback on game mechanics bills like this one. Given the offhand comment by Forumlurker on Discord it is less of a worry to me than it would be otherwise for this or future teams to safely recuse themselves from potential regional conflicts without compromising the current writing arrangement. Sometimes you gotta split the baby.

How was this the bill the Senate as a whole chose to spend the most of its energy on this session? Am I missing some dimension in this? A variable with solution equal to zero, or something?

That was a statement of deep confusion about the willingness of Senators to cover themselves in glory arguing about this for five pages. Just had to get it out there.

EXECUTIVE ORDER
To clarify and focus the legal scope of a very strange Act
1. Given that the term non-human animal as listed in (I)(2)(E) of the Preventing Degeneracy Act is vague, to add greater clarity, the Office of the President, and any subordinate Office or Department thereof shall hereby interpret non-human animal to mean and be interchangeable with the term non-sapient animal, provided however that no species of Pokemon shall be deemed to possess sapience.
2. To ensure the best, most impactful, and efficient use of Justice Department Resources, it is hereby ordered by the Office of the President that the Attorney General and Department of Justice, that prosecutions for committing violent sexual deviancy as defined in (I)(9) of the Preventing Degeneracy Act shall in all cases prioritize convictions of violent sexual deviancy as defined in clauses (B)-(E) of (I)(9), as well as violent sexual deviancy as defined in clause (A) in which no affirmative consent has been given by a participant in such violent sexual conduct. Prosecutions for private, non-commercial violent sexual conduct in which all participants have given affirmative consent shall not be deemed a priority and are hereby determined to be an ineffective use of Justice Department resources that would be more impactfully used in prosecuting the more serious violations identified herein.
3. This order shall take effect immediately and shall remain in force in perpetuity unless otherwise modified by a subsequent Executive Order or law.
Joseph Cao, President of the Republic of Atlasia
