Senate Committees Resolution [debating]

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

It would probably require the adding of a whole section to the OSPR.


Another concern, this bill lacks a sponsor and I think that may need to be resolved.

Mind giving us a time of reference on that so we know where to look BK?


A concern that should be noted about it's placement within the OSPR. The easiest location is at the end of the current document. The best location would be after or before the Article on Oversight Powers. However that would require editing numerous references to the subsequent articles to reflect an increase of one in the nomenclature for the Article reference. Especially the Article on overiding parts of the OSPR. It is currently numbered as 8 and has multiple references to it in earlier Articles and Sections.

Just something that should be considered.

Though I do agree that amending the OSPR in accordance with this bill would be tough.

You just gave me an idea.

We could rename this beast below and place a section on Committees within it. Then the Contempt rules can be altered to apply to both.

Might switch 3 and 2 around. Keeping 1 up to, avoids the committees from being limited to just oversight. I moved some other stuff around to spruce up an imperfect text wrote by some stupid freshman Senator named a Yankee back in ole 2009. Thoughts?

And just who the hell said I was available for "cleanup duty". My semester just started on Monday also and I got another new computer (I had to take the other back, it wasn't upgradable) to setup.

I fixed some of incorrect references over the summer, so it isn't as bad as it was. But, yeah, including such a line would definately be a big improvement. You would think that would go without saying that such references are to updated with just "all subsquent articles are renumbered...", though I could be wrong.

Who said anything about one's own initiative?

The corrections I made were part of "Massive OSPR Amendments" . You even put most of them on the OSPR page. Though I think I remember doing one of them on my last day as PPT in I think the 43rd Senate.


If the amendment said "all subsequent Articles, Sections and Clauses are to be updated according", which I beleive my Senate Oversight OSPR Amendment back in 2009 did, then I think it well within the purview of that power to update references to those same Articles, Sections, Clauses, in other parts of the OSPR. Otherwise, the OSPR looses functionality. For two years the OSPR said, "Look to Article Seven for overidding parts of this document, then you go down there and it is Senate Oversight procedures.

That might be an interesting idea.

Unworkable in its current form,


so Nay!


How Unfortunate!
