IDS 1: Let's Not Invade Other Regions Act

[Flake]

Let's Not Invade Other Regions Act
1. The IDS militia will not invade other regions of Atlasia.

[Dereich]

I don't think the IDS has ever invaded another region. Instead, we have acted in those region's best interests to help enforce the law. I certainly don't want to see our right to do that go away.

[Dixie Reborn]

But why is this necessary?

[Maxwell]

We need to defend ourselves if necessary, and if it takes us going into another region to stop it (like the other region invading us), so be it. I'm not an interventionist of any sorts, but if another region attacks us, I won't allow such a limitation of our options.

Should this reach my desk, I'll veto it.

[Flake]

Let's Not Invade Other Regions Act
1. The IDS militia will not invade other regions of Atlasia unless provoked.

I hope you find this amendment to be more suitable.

But why is this necessary?

Pingvin decided to bring the IDS militia to the Northeast without them attacking or even threatening us.

Pingvin has no control of the IDS Militia, I do.

[Flake]

Eh, I still think this bill is necessary. We shouldn't invade the Pacific just because we feel like it.

[Maxwell]

Eh, I still think this bill is necessary. We shouldn't invade the Pacific just because we feel like it.

I don't think we'll have a future Emperor who is insane enough to just attack the Pacific.

[Maxwell]

You can put this up for a vote Flo, not much more discussion is going on here.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

But Maxwell pulling a Peter III with Oklahoma would be so much fun.

[Donerail]

I'm not voting for anything that would limit our ability to deploy our militia to other regions, which would seem to forbid our ability to help other regions respond to natural disasters.

[Flake]

Legislators, please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.

Aye.

[Dereich]

Nay

[Pingvin]

Nay

[Yelnoc]

Because I missed the drama that this is a response to:

Abstain

[Dixie Reborn]

Nay

[Donerail]

Nay.

[Maxwell]

Nay.

You are no longer a member of this body.

[Flake]

This bill fails with one aye, one abstain, and two nays.

[Donerail]

Nay.

You are no longer a member of this body.

Ah, right, sorry - I did sign in earlier today. Force of habit.
