Region Redrawing Act

[minionofmidas]

I was under the impression that the current map was listed in the Constitution itself, possibly not any more but I am sure it was at one point (same with districts map).

Forgive me for intruding; the regional map in effect is as in post #1 of https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?board=13;action=display;threadid=5715
Presumably it's the one approved by the public to serve as a temporary one until the Senate convened, as specified in Ammendment IV Section 2.
Further in that thread is an explanation of why that temporary map is unconstitutional now that the Senate is an established body.  The Senate was given the authority and the obligation by the constitution to adopt a map as Secretary Fritz specified, which thus far it hasn't done.  The Senate and President passing such a map won't require a supermajority or popular approval.  This bill is to comply with that constitutional mandate, not ammend it.

I thank the Senate panel for its indulgence.

Interesting, the maps were actually originally in the Constitution, I remember that clearly, seems Dan tweaked it at one point during the discussions way back when. Ok then, this is not a constitutional amendment.

Yes......yes I did tweak it. Because we needed to quickly pass the Constitution....and one of the main reasons it wasn't being passed quickly was due to many people bitching about how they want the regions this way, and someone else wants the regions that way. So.....I put that in there so the Senate could officially decide, which they never have....because we've just been using the same regions and districts that were suggest by Harry and...I believe someone else....way back in March.

After the regions are officially settled.....as well as the new districts....I will add the map to the constitution page....along with the bills and added amendments.

I'm that someone else.
