IDS1: The Take the Power Back Act of 2014 [Voting on Override]

[Dereich]

Wait, so this would have the Emperor nullify the FEDERAL law, not the Imperial one?

[Dereich]

I'm sorry, I had something I wanted to say about the amendment but I lost it. I hereby call a vote on Sjoyce's amendment.  I intend to begin final voting pretty soon after this amendment is done if not much more is said, so if you have more you want to add to the discussion don't hesitate to do so now. Legislators have 48 hours to vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.

I'm not sure how to vote on this amendment; I agree that it has no legal legs to stand on if it passes and that the amended version would be a net positive, but I don't really think that was the point. Since I'm pretty sure Jbrase intended this to be a completely illegal overreach that made more of a statement than a positive to our legal code, I don't know if I can yank that right out from under him by subverting this bill.

I'll abstain for now.

[Dereich]

Well then, with Jbrase's confirmation I see no reason to change my vote. Let's vote on his principle.

With a vote of 2-2 with one abstaining this amendment is defeated.

[Dereich]

Seeing no further debate, I hereby bring this to a final vote. Legislators have 48 hours to vote aye, nay or to abstain.

Abstain

[Dereich]

With 2 votes in favor with one against, one abstaining and one not voting this bill passes the Imperial Legislature and moves to the Emperor for veto or signature.

[Dereich]

The Emperor having vetoed this legislation, now we must decide whether to override the Emperor's veto or not. Normally I'd ask the sponsor whether or not they wanted to do this before trying for an override, but Jbrase just declared a leave of absence. I think its probably a good idea to go ahead with this anyway, this being the case.

Legislators have 48 hours to vote. A majority of 3/4ths of the legislature, either 4 ayes if 5 vote, 3 ayes if 4 vote, or approval from all those who vote if there are under 4 voters is required for an override. Please vote either aye, nay or abstain.

Nay
