For the record, this will have to be passed as a Constitutional Amendment.

If we do decide this is a good idea, I propose going back to the original wording from the second Consitution; however, I am opposed to eliminating the 20 minute grace period.

You can go 40 seconds without it being detected. Still I believe it is impossible for some to be pressured into changing their vote and actually carrying it out in 40 seconds.

I thought it was a minute.  Now, I'm not sure if that means minute as in 60 seconds or minute as in within the minute of the timestamp it was posted (so if it was 12:12:01, it'd be 59 seconds; 12:12:57, then 3 seconds).

Debate having ended for more than 24 hours, this is now brought to a vote.  Members will vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.  This will be a 48 hour vote.

Voting has now ended.  The AYEs are 2, and the NAYs are 1, with 2 not voting.  The AYEs have it, and the bill is passed onto the Governor for his signature or veto.

Seeing as I am the only NAY vote, and I have no interest in this passing, there is nobody who can make a motion to reconsider.  This will have to get vetoed and reintroduced.

It would make it illegal to change one's vote.  Obviously this would be challenged in the courts, yadda yadda, gets overturned.  So, yes, essentially does nothing.
