Well, it appears this is a non controversial bill. That's why I'm using the Article IV Clause 2 of the senate rules in order to speed the process. (I would be able to open a vote in 24 hours).

Senators have 24 hours to object. I hereby ask unanimous consent.

Well considering that Hagrid seems to have concerns with this bill, I withdraw my request.

Aye.
If the amount of money has to be lowered, I might support it though.

Quote from: Senator North Carolina Yankee on March 23, 2015, 04:30:30 PM
The absence of a sitting Senator as sponsor for this creates significant problems. I was under the impression that some Senator would volunteer to act as such for the citizens who proposed legislation. No changes were made to the rules as part of the act and thus Windjammer would literally have to waive the rule on sponsorship like he did on the minimum wage act when I departed from your midst for now on every one of these.
I had thought about this potential problem and fortunately, nothing dramatic will happen Cheesy.

2 cases are handled by clause 7:
- if a senator wishes to withdraw his sponsorship
-if a senator leaves the senate.

FORTUNATELY, the current situation doesn't apply to clause 7 because Barnes hasn't asked to withdraw his sponsorship, or this bill has no sponsor after someone has left the senate.
So, I DONT HAVE TO SUSPEND THE RULES Cheesy.

Well, maybe we should contact the GM about which costs need to be effectively needed.

This has enough votes to fail. I let 24 hours for the senators who haven't voted yet to vote.
