It's times like these we need UC so FF bills like this can get through quickly.

An amendment:

3. The boot shall hereby by named the National Footwear of Atlasia

4. The pig shall hereby be named the National Animal of Atlasia

For procedural purposes, count this amendment as my own, and we're now voting on it. Hopefully we get to vote on this bill for two whole weeks before moving on to final passage. Wouldn't that be crazy? Who would do that?

Please vote aye, nay, or abstain:

You proposed an amendment to, and voted positive to amend, a bill you want to table?

This Senate, I swear..

The amendment was a joke lol I don't think we actually need to debate this bill, do we? I mean, I know it's a joke and it's nice to have something to relieve the tension, but I think the joke only goes so far.

This isn't a joke to the millions of pigs in our nation that don't get the recognition they deserve.

Abstain.

I'm not a big fan of abstaining a whole bunch but if there was ever a bill that deserved it, this would be the one.

Still no definitive result either way in the vote here, amusingly enough.

I would like to amend the bill to read, in a new section, 'While the Senate remains committed to its place in the fundamental educational curriculum, we express sympathy and solidarity with those students who find it boring as hell.'

Due to a large amount of time passing, not an actual majority vote of Nay, the amendment failed. Tongue

I'll immediately just do Bgwah a favor and open up a vote to table this bill.


We are now voting on a motion to table. Please vote aye, nay, or abstain.
