There was debate?

Barely. It's not my job, as PPT, to make people debate. I'm just here to set things in motion and open up votes.


Aye

This bill has enough votes to pass. Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.

Nay, of course. Is this even constitutional?
How can a constitutional amendment be unconstitutional?

It's not a constitutional amendment but an amendment to the Consolidated Electoral System Reform Act, a federal statute.

Sorry about that. It'll be introduced as soon as possible.
