[Pyro]

The Executive Branch should not have a role in the Constitution amendment process.
I still see no reason why the present procedure needs to be modified.

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

What is the point of this? Also, the "clearer" amendment is not clearer.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Given the failure of the previous version and the general lack of enthusiasm for this version, asking consent to table this.

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

I'll withdraw sponsorship of this amendment.
