Well, that signature on the library card is old and cheesy
Back to what this thread was started for (albeit under the wrong account,) I was thinking that maybe I could become the Constitutional Scholar for the Midwest. I thought I’d do this because I really look up to the Atlasian Scholars that I know of, Peter Bell and Ernest. I have the amendment, and I was trying to integrate them into the Constitution. The first was easy, but the second one I just can’t do
so if someone wants to help me integrate them, I’d be eternaly grateful
Here are the two amendments:
Section I, Article I, IV will be replaced by 'Polls will open Friday at noon, Central Time, and close at noon on Sunday, Central Time. Elections will be held using Instant Runoff Voting.'
Section I, Article I, VI will be replaced by 'If the final preference count is tied, then the winner is determined by the candidate who recieved the most first place votes. If that is tied, then the winner is determined by an instant runoff between the tied candidates. If that is also tied, then the winner is determined by a majority vote of Senators representing states in the Midwest region that have registered voters residing within them. If that is tied, then one of the votes is randomly discarded by an impartial judge (that judge to be decided by the Senatorial panel). If it manages to be tied after that, votes are randomly discarded until it is no longer a tie.
This amendment will take effect by the December elections.
________________________________________________Section I, Article I, III will be replaced with 'Gubernatorial elections will be held on the second to last Friday of the month, with the exception of December, where the election will be held on the second Friday of that month, and last until the following Sunday.
Section I, Article I, VIII will be stricken.
A new Article in Section I, to be placed between the current Sections I and II, will be titled "Section II: Election Procedure". The current section II will be renamed "Section III: The Powers of the Governor".
Article I will contain the following clauses {is that what they're called?}: Section I, Article I, II, III, and VII, with VII being renamed to IV.
The new Article II will contain the following clauses: Section I, Article I, IV, V, VI, with the clauses to be renamed III, V, and VI.
{Note: All Clauses will still be referred to by their new title in this amendment, to try to make the change more apparant. If this is confusing, tell me, I'll refer to them in their old form }
A new Section I, Article II, I will be created, and it will read, 'The election will be administered by the federal Secretary of Forum Affairs, or the Chief Justice of the federal Supreme Court, according to the wishes of the Governor. If the Governor does not choose, the election will be held by the federal Secretary of Forum Affairs.'
A new Section I, Article II, II will be created, and will read, 'The filing deadline to be placed on the ballot for the office of Governor will be 24 hours before the election is to begin.'
Section I, Article II, III will be amended to read, 'Polls will open Friday morning at 12:00am midnight, Central Time, and close at 12:00am midnight on Monday morning, Central Time. The elections will be administered by the rules set forth in Section I, Article II, Clause IV'
A new Section I, Article II, IV will be created, and will read, 'The election will be held by instant runoff voting (IRV). No write-in candidates will be accepted. You must preference all candidates. If both of those provisions are violated, the ballot will be considered spoiled and will be thrown out. If only one of them is, the ballot will be placed aside in case of a tie.'
Section I, Article II, V will be amended to read, 'The governor-elect will be sworn in the following Thursday of their election by the Chief Justice of the federal Supreme Court. If the Justice of the federal Supreme Court is not present or has been elected Governor, the Governor-elect is given the permission to swear themselves in.'
Section I, Article II, VI will be amended to read, 'If the final preference count is tied, then the provisional ballots from people who had one error with their ballot will be counted as normal ballots. If that is tied, then the winner is determined by the candidate who recieved the most first place votes. If that is tied, then the winner is determined by an instant runoff between the tied candidates. If that is also tied, then the winner is determined by a majority vote of Senators representing states in the Midwest region that have registered voters residing within them. If that is tied, then one of the votes is randomly discarded by an impartial judge (that judge to be decided by the Senatorial panel). If it manages to be tied after that, votes are randomly discarded until it is no longer a tie.'
