On a serious note, something I noticed was you had Easter Monday, which may be the tradition in Europe. Round here though, we celebrate our Easter on Sunday. Perhaps go on recess Easter Weekend?

Perhaps it would be prudent to include in the bill a provision giving the Speaker of the Assembly or the Governor the authority to call an emergency session during a holiday?

Yall are a bunch of lazy bums! Wink

Sounds good.  Does anybody have any suggestions on requiring a quorum for a vote taken during an "emergency session"?  4 votes?  Or 5?  (Although this could change if we shrink the Assembly down to 3).

I think four votes should be required to form a quorum. After all, we don't want the Assembly to engage in official business while some members are still on vacation.

Can you change the quorum to 3? I mean if we have a crisis and two guys are on vacation that would prevent us from actually implementing something important enough to have an emergency session for.

I suppose as long as three members are still required to pass a bill, it doesn't really matter how many members are present during the debate over that bill. I'll change it.

Voting is now closed.  The AYEs are 4, and the NAYs are 0, with 1 not voting.  The AYEs have it, and the amendment is agreed to.  Debate will now resume for another 24 hours, after which, a vote will be held.
