[Napoleon]

So the SRC has more time and completed its task. Before we start voting on the report,  which may take a few days to debate, I'd like to put this on the floor.

Resolution for a Constitutional Convention


The Assembly of the Northeast hereby authorizes a Constitutional Convention to prepare a document by the 10th of June, to replace or modify the existing Constitution in accordance with current amending procedure.

I also motion to shorten debate to 24 hours. We shall now vote on the motion, aye or nay.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Aye

[homelycooking]

Aye

To be clear, Napoleon, the SRC hasn't finished its job yet. We'll be finished when the report gets approved by its members.

[Napoleon]

Aye

To be clear, Napoleon, the SRC hasn't finished its job yet. We'll be finished when the report gets approved by its members.

Aye and you're right, my mistake.

[Napoleon]

The motion has passed so we shall proceed to a final vote.

AYE

[homelycooking]

Aye.

[President Mitt]

Nay

[Napoleon]

The Northeast Assembly has authorized a Constitutional convention.

[Napoleon]

Resolution Thanking Rowan Brandon

The Northeast Assembly hereby thanks Senator Rowan Brandon for his invaluable service to the Region and we on this day declare him Atlasia's greatest senator in modern history. The Assembly also hopes that his service to Region and Nation will continue as the nation's President.

We will now begin debate on this bill. The sponsor, Giovanni, has the floor.

[Napoleon]

Very inappropriate and undeserved.  Motion to table.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Very inappropriate and undeserved.  Motion to table.

Seconded.

[Napoleon]

We will now hold a vote on tabling this frivolous bill.

Aye

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Aye.

[homelycooking]

Aye. Let's move on to more pressing matters.

[Napoleon]

This bill is banished to the tabled-zone.

[Napoleon]

The time has come for us to review and vote on the report by the SRC.

We will have 48 hours of debate, which will be extended if deemed necessary. I expect full participation, Representatives.

[Napoleon]

Right off the bat I'd like to state my disapproval of #3. We shouldn't undo the liberalization of sex laws in this region.
I also think #14 needs to be a 24 hour nomination period followed by a vote rather than a three day waiting period.

In 24 hours, a "majority of all Assembly members" may not be present for a vote. Perhaps we should replace time-restricted language with "until such time as a majority of the membership of the Assembly comes to a consensus regarding its choice for speaker"?

Agreed on number 3. While I agree with the changes that it makes, the SRC report is not the place for it. Since it is not an issue of quality or clarity, it ought to be considered as separate legislation.

[Napoleon]

I mean a 24 hour nomination period, which would be followed by a 24 hour vote.

[homelycooking]

I mean a 24 hour nomination period, which would be followed by a 24 hour vote.

So you would suggest changing three to two in #14?
