Second Amendment to the Consolidated Electoral System Reform Act (At Final Vote)

[DownWithTheLeft]

Ah, one of those amendments where we realized a huge gaping hole exists too late.  Although this little loophole put me in the senate, I support this amendment fully.

As the results of the election to replace you have been certified, you are no longer in the Senate.

Not true, I am in the senate until Bacon King takes the oath of office

Nope. Elections take effect immediately. We've had this debate before, when Everett never swore in. The conclusion was that Everett was a Senator and therefore had to resign or be booted in order to be replaced. Therefore, Bacon King is a Senator, he's just not sworn in yet.

Different set of circumstances, I was appointed to a vacant seat.  Therefore, I hold the seat until it is no longer vacant, which it currently is as Bacon King has not yet sworn in.

Seeing as there has been no further debate on this I am bringing this to a vote.

Please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.

There was debate?

[DownWithTheLeft]

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.

My bad, I just read "amendment"
