Hadn't caught that. Thanks then. The Amendment seems to have decent support among current senators.

F***

And I tried to check more carefully this time. This legislation is turning into a trainwreck.

This vote is, yet again, cancelled. A vote is instead to be held on Ilikeverin's amendment, which can be found after the line.


Section 1: Consent
The Senate of Atlasia hereby gives its consent to the President of Atlasia to call a Constitutional Convention.

Section 2: Delegates
a. 20 delegates will be selected from the regions proportionally to the population of each region.
b. Regions are required to choose their delegates using some form of popular vote.
c. Vacancies, should they occur, shall be filled by the Governor of the region in which the vacacy occurred.

Section 3: Orders of Business
a. The first order of business of the Convention will be choosing from among its membership a Presiding Officer, who will have the power to break ties should they arise during the Convention.
b. The second order of business of the Convention will be establishing the rules of order of the convention.

Section 4: Timing and Location
a. The Convention will begin immediately after the final certification of delegates from each region.
b. A Child Board will be requested for the Convention to operate in. If the request is not made then the Convention shall conduct it's business in the Atlas Fantasy Government sub-forum.


Vote Aye or Nay, etc. You know the rules by now.

The amendment seems OK, but I might change my vote, if someone explains why it isn't or what it does. Until then:

Aye

Subsequently, depending on how my amendment goes, I'd like to propose either adding a separate section to DWTL's version or a new clause to the end of Section 3 of my version with the text:

The next order of business will be a vote on whether the new Constitution will abolish the federal government or the regional governments of the Republic of Atlasia.

I think that's pretty clear. The amendment should be voted on.

If it's not, I might seek redress in court. Tongue
