Well, that's probably the first time it's not me who has a problem with barrier language Tongue.

Trust me, that happens to me all the time. I usually play along and hope no one notices anything Tongue

It's only for clarification.
For example: if we have 8 senators (2 vacancies for example), 2/3 is 5.3, and it should be rounded up to 6. It's a clear mechanism, but I think it's better clarify it for the future.

I would say we don't need that, as it already says "at least". In that hypothetical scenario of yours, 5 would be less than 2/3, so it would violate the "at least", so it would not be enough.

What Cranberry said.
If for instance there are 8 senators: we all know that 5 senators wouldn't be enough (not the 2/3 majority) but 6 senators would be enough (3/4).

So, I won't object to this precision, but that's a detail.

Oh oops, I did not see that.

I am sorry Cris, but I guess what this amendment says is already specified with the "at least", and for me personally such a long clause in brackets is not that aesthetically pleasing Tongue

I object.

I presented this resolution only for clarify things.
I think it's better having a clarification. What will change for 16 words?

This amendment really isn't really a huge deal, but there's no harm to having a clarification, even if it might be redundant. Better to have a redundant clause than risk confusion over the issue later.
