Don't see how this could be amended. Tongue I think we can call a final vote and see how it ends up.

To those who hesitate, I have a couple of things to say. The purpose of this bill is to recognize the work of people who, to the general opinion, have served Atlasia with dedication. I think one of the reasons why so few people really do productive things is lack of reward for the merits of everyone. Well, even if symbolical, this is a reward for people who deserved it. I could add that those people should serve as examples for their successors, that we must encourage them to be worthy of what those people did. So yeah, of course there is a point in letting officeholders choose the names of their offices, but isn't it better if we make it clear we want more people like the "folks" this bill is honoring ?

While I think this bill has great intentions, I'm hesitant to sign this. One of the great perks of getting a cabinet position is getting to name your own building, and we've certainly seen some creative and funny names over the years.

Is that worth a veto ? I don't think the President should veto any single bill he isn't fond of, just those he honestly thinks he has the moral duty to prevent from passing because he feel they are a danger for the country.

Not necessarily saying I'd veto it, I'm still not sure. I just don't think this bill is very beneficial, and I think both Shua and Bgwah have raised very strong points on why this should not be passed.

It's fun.  It's the equivalent of an IRL officeholder getting to put up a portrait of whomever he/she desires.  I love the tradition, and think we should continue it by defeating this bill.

Sorry, I was about to reply to Oakvale ("you're such a moderate hero"), but accidentally posted just a quote.

My vote is still aye, obviously.

I saw that, but I still wanted to respond to you.  I'm not as clueless as I often am/appear Tongue

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


Final votes last for seven (or is it five) days, or until a majority has voted one way or the other.

Nay.

I see no reason we should be wasting a legislation slot on worthless legislation like this for weeks on end.

I will not support any frivolous bill in the senate regardless who writes it.
