SENATE BILL: The Glorious Airport Renaming Act of 2014 (Vetoed)

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Motion to table - I see absolutely no logical reason why this topic should even be discussed, especially when we have so many important items behind it in queue.

I object

You can't object to a motion to table, but you're more than welcome to spell your case on why this Labor-backed piece of garbage deserves to remain on the floor over other bills that are much more worthy.

What's the point of Atlasia if we can't do crap like this every now and then?

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

X, I highly doubt that amendment will win this bill any Federalist support...

I just thought Maxwell deserved an airport, same as Griffin

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

On the John Engle Memorial Act:

Absurd, wanting to table this.

I would propose turning this into a resolution, removing clause 2, and instead of a museum, rename an airport after him or something grand like that. We owe our thanks to Governor John Engle.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Mr. X, do you wish to revise this amendment to reflect the changes made by Tyrion's or do you prefer to proceed with reversing such?

Yes, it can be revised to reflect the changes.  I also object to the amendment removing Griffin's name.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I don't think it's the Senate's job to rename locations to boost some senator's friends ego.

That's not why we're doing it.  Besides, its not like this is even unrealistic or anything.  After all, there are many airports named after politicians (ex: the JFK International airport ).

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Nay

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I object to the amendment.

Seconded

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

AYE

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Actually, yea, can we even rename these? I was going to redraft to include a more balanced bill, but the question now is whether this is a job for the regions or a job for us?

Do the regions staff their own TSA molestors? If not, I don't see why they would feel entitled to name the airports.

I don't see how the TSA has anything to do with it. Most commercial service airports are publicly owned by local or state governments - the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority is perhaps the only one where the Senate can claim jurisdiction. Houston's owned by Houston, Dallas by the Cities of Dallas and Ft. Worth, Atlanta by the city, Tampa by the county, Orlando by the city and county, Miami by the county, Ft. Lauderdale by the county, Charlotte by the city - none of it's owned by the feds.

Right, so do we even have authority to rename these airports without putting them under federal control?

I certainly won't sign anything that doesn't give me an airport somewhere either.

So put them under federal control in the redraft.
