Emergency Resolution Addressing the Pacific-Midwest Situation

[Everett]

Abstain. I honestly don't care about this dumb Internet conflict anymore. It's the Internet, for crying out loud.

[Ebowed]

The amendment passes.  We'll now vote on final passage:

Emergency Resolution Addressing the Pacific-Midwest Situation

Recognising the periliously dangerous situation in New Mexico, the Atlasian Senate calls upon the President to act towards achieving a peaceful resolution with the respective parties through dialogue and negotiation.

Further, the Senate condemns all acts of violence and calls upon all parties to move towards peaceful dialogue in the resolution of these difficulties.

This resolution has enough votes to pass.  Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.

With 6 ayes, this resolution has passed.  It is presented to the President for his signature.

I thought Resolutions didn't need to President's signature.

They don't. It passes automatically.

[Ebowed]

They don't need a signature if they address Senate rules and procedure.  This is not the case on matters of national security and the like.  The proper handling of resolutions has just been ignored by most Senates in the past.

After roughly seven days of executive inaction, the resolution has become law.

It's a resolution, you didn't need executive action.

My reading of Article I, Section 3, Clause 3 seems pretty clear.

"For any Bill or Resolution to pass the Senate, it shall have gained a majority in a valid vote. Before the Bill or Resolution becomes Law, it shall be presented to the President of the Republic of Atlasia, unless it be concerning the rules for the proceedings of the Senate. If the President approves, he shall sign it, and it shall become Law."

In the past, I remember resolutions expressing soley the Senate's view needed no signature from the President.

Yes, but as far as my reading of the constitution goes, this was incorrect procedure.
