List of Topics to be Debated

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

HEADQUARTERS of the PRESIDING OFFICER
Jan 9, 2016

At the suggestion of Deputy P.O. Leinad, I have decided to create this thread as a way of keeping track of everything that is left for us to accomplish: a "to do" list of sorts for the new Constitution. It is intended to serve two purposes: to remind me of what needs to be done, and to keep everyone else from dozing off for want of direction.

✔ Accomplished      ☐ In Progress

✔ Ratification & Statute Reboot
✔ Finish Congress by Jan 15
✔ Finish the Regions by Jan 15
✔ Executive Branch (Pres., VP)
✔ Judicial Branch (Supreme Court)
✔ Bill of Rights
     ✔ Citizenship
☐ Misc. Provisions
     ☐ Amendment Process
     ☐ Supremacy Clause
     ☐ Relations between the Regions (Article IV of the US Constitution)
     ☐ Simultaneous officeholding
     ☐ Relationship between the Senate & the House

I will add that we need to really establish protocols for how the two chambers will interact. This is something I'm afraid many of us haven't considered. How will the vote/legislation process work? Who will break ties in the House?

The framework is in place, but there are some details that will need to be added to each section after the fact. I know there'll be a debate on how much should be in the Constitution for each section, but I really think we'll need to have things such as what was mentioned above included.

Generally speaking, I think most matters of everyday Congressional procedure should be left to Congress itself; however, certain matters (such as which house has jurisdiction over confirmation votes, etc.) definitely need to be addressed before we wrap this up.
