And, with that, I'll butt out of your affairs, mostly

I'd like to see Xahar's concern about a state of emergency addressed, along with the current two amendments at vote to be added to the new constitution, provided they pass, but that's all up to y'all now.

Good luck everybody!

Thanks Tyrion! Good luck in the Senate!

It doesn't seem like anyone else wants to collaborate.  For the sake of having further discussion here, what's the reasoning behind not allowing recall elections?

Is there any way we can get terrorist organizations exiled from the Pacific or sent to a high security prison in a rural swath in the desert or the tundra?

Oakvale said he didn't like the idea of consistently having recalls for the sake of politicization, and recalls have functioned to slow down the legislature of the Pacific multiple times.

I'm sure he has more to say than that, but that's the gist of it.

Well, you could try to pass an anti-terrorism law or something. I'm not sure why you'd have to make the jail in the middle of nowhere, though. Also, this definitely should not be written into the constitution.

Aye

bump!

SEATOWN

[Cincinnatus]

I change my vote on the amendment to Nay.

[President Tyrion]

Ah, Cinci taking one for the team in order to move things along.

I suggest you add the Women's Rights Amendment and the Amendment about Vacancies at Governor to the constitution, and perhaps strike the clause about special elections and recalls if you don't like it.

[PJ]

I change my vote on the amendment to Nay.

Thank you Cinci!

The amendment fails.

[PJ]

Okay so here is what we have on our agenda for this amendment:


1. @ Flo: According to Pacific law, San Francisco is our capital.

2. @ Flo: We need your amendment on impeaching councillors who miss 5 votes.

3. @ Flo: We need your amendment on public smoking.

4. @ Flo: We need your amendment on consenting adults marrying.

5. @ Xahar: Would you like to draft the state of emergency amendment?

6. I introduce the following amendments:

7. What do y'all think about special elections for council vacancies as well?

It's cool if you do that; just remember to delete all instances of special elections being declared illegal

Also, good work PJ on combing through the thread to find everything that needed to be done.

Thanks! I'll draft that amendment once we finish with women's rights and governor vacancy.

[PJ]

Cinci, are my amendments friendly?

[Cincinnatus]

Both amendments are friendly.  I am a strong proponent of special elections for council as well, for the record. 

[PJ]

Ok I basically modified the Governor vacancy to apply to Speaker Vacancies as well:

A fifth clause shall be added to Article four. This clause shall read:

This text confuses me.  I thought we were going to create special elections for council vacancies?  Why would the Governor be appointing anyone via the first sentence?  This says, "The Governor may appoint".  So, I have discretion?

Also,  this text should be fixed.
