Reintroducing the Cabinet Reform Amendment (Final vote)

[windjammer]

Good. I will motion for a final vote, since it seems no one has any further input here and debate has died.

I need to be sure. Have you motioned  for a final vote. Or do you plan in the foreseable future to motion for a final vote?

[Talleyrand]

I motion for a final vote then.

Reserving the right to object, you missed my second amendment.

Offering this separately just in case the other one runs into opposition.

I can imagine some fancy the idea of the executive abolishing the justice department.

I did motion for a final vote, yes, but I'll draw it back then due to Yankee's point.

[Talleyrand]

Does the senate speaker not have the power to correct minor mistakes in the bill like the one Yankee has pointed out?

Well, I don't find a senate rule talking about that. Maybe Yankee could quote this part?

Can't you suspend the Senate rules?

Yeah, the speaker can do anything he wants if no one objects.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Well yes, back when I first started it was done all the time but subsequent PPTs (not just myself but also others) became very cautious and it was relegated to only the minorest of changes.

I don't know about the present rules, but I would assume he would have to give an objection period to overiding the rules and at this point that would be longer than letting the remaining 15 hours elapse. Of course under the old rules, it would be just three hours remaining until the amendment is passed (just saying ).

[bore]

Sorry Yankee, you seem to be the only person nostalgically looking back on the old rules

So the change goes into effect immediately, and is only reversed if someone objects.

[Cranberry]

Since the amendment will pass in eight hours I guess it doesn't matter anymore for now, though

[windjammer]

Yes, I can suspend the rules. My question was if there was a rule concerning the grammar changes.

I don't like it but I guess things happen that way...

Nope, I haven't the slightest idea of what you speak.

[Cranberry]

I motion for a final vote.

(Should be clear enough for you that way, Windjammer )

[Talleyrand]

I motion for a final vote.

(Should be clear enough for you that way, Windjammer )

Seconded.

[Senator Cris]

I motion for a final vote.

(Should be clear enough for you that way, Windjammer )

Seconded.

Thirded.

[windjammer]

Well, I don't consider Yanke's song as a willingness to participate to the debates, so, I don't have to start a vote ending the debates.

Senators have 24 hours to object.

I reserve the right to object,

Only the last line "I don't like it but I guess things happen that way..." is a song. The rest was just a list establishing a sarcastic point.

I withdraw my objection. Proceed.
