SENATE BILL: The 'DREAM' Act (Law'd)

[Oakvale]

Senator Hagrid's point is persuasive to me. Abstain.

[Franzl]

Also changing my vote to ABSTAIN.

[Niemeyerite]

I'm still an Aye. Not that I think his actions are OK, but I support this.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

So what's the verdict?

[Marokai Backbeat]

I'll switch my vote to Nay, if possible.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

So what's the verdict?

I haven't the slightest idea. I really don't track who voted what until the end. So until I dive back though and see who switched and what they were before, I am just as clueless as you.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Vote on President's Redraft:

Aye (1): JulioMadrid
Nay (4): HagridOfTheDeep, Marokai Blue, NC Yankee and Snowstalker
Abstain (4): Averroës Nix, Franzl, Oakvale, and Simfan34

Didn't Vote (1): Ben

The vote on the redraft has failed to achieve passage. The sponsor may either motion to send the bill back up to the President as is (basically what he already rejected) or motion to resume debate on the bill.

[Simfan34]

Send it back!

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

If sent back and vetoed, then an override becomes possible.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

[Kaine for Senate '18]

FTR, I voted Nay.

And I motion to send it back to the President, so we can override his veto.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Unless Nathan decides to let things play out as they will... Here's hoping.

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

I love you people.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

x Nathan

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Thank you Nathan!  This is truly a great victory.

[Simfan34]

Hooray for the Vice President!

[Speed of Sound]

Although I have some concerns which I have already expressed about the final text of the bill, it is ultimately a step forward and legislation that is certainly better than nothing. Given the controversial nature of this topic, the Senate has indeed scored a great victory in compromising enough to pass a bill, and the Vice-President has shown great prudence in signing a bill that is both helpful, and was to be law inevitably anyway, thereby speeding up our legislative process.

[Oakvale]

Nathan for President.

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

Thank you, Mr. Vice President!

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

If the Senators desire to exempt those veterans from the GPA requirement still, I have legislation already drawn up to do that? If atleast two other Senators say yes, then I will introduce it and add them as co-sponsors to it.

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

I am okay with exempting veterans from the GPA requirement.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Part of me wants to do a classic Gore line from joint session verifying the results after the 2000 elections about needing a Senator, but I don't have time.

Hey, this bill is my baby.

Or at least, it was before Ben adopted it.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I am ok with exempting veterans; I'll sign on.
