Is the idea that this is better in the constitution than in statue? The elections act that just passed the Senate covers this.

I'm sponsoring this on behalf of Justice Yankee. I can ask him his reasons.

I am not mistaken this was offered before the legislation mentioned passed the Senate.


Basically, the point of this is to clearly define when the terms begin, because I said in the introduction post in the thread, we were operating on an immediate basis for congress and for President basically utilizing an implied holdover from the Third Constitution that has since expired.

IF people are statisfied with legislation than fine. I will say that this has always been in the Constitution to my knowledge, but the merits of dealing with it one way or another is not something I have frankly given much thought to.

Even if we want to put it into the constitution, the constitutional ad hoc committee (which we are both on) is the most appropriate method, IMO. I think we'll have several small provisions and I'd rather have them all in one amendment then keep sending folks back to the voting booths to vote on small amendments.

I introduced a motion on the floor, Mr. Speaker.
Motions to table require two other representatives to second it. So far, no one has.

It should be done via amendment because:

1. This is how it was amended in the US Constitution
2. We forgot to put it in our constitution (which was a mistake)
3. Having strong clarity for transition of power benefits our republic to promote the general goodwill and tranquility.

I wasn't sure before, but I agree with Rep. JCL.

Once again, I would urge the body to consider allowing the Constitutional Ad Hoc Committee the time to produce a comprehensive amendment of small changes, rather than push each one through individually. That is partly why we established it in the first place.

I realize I'm flip-flopping now, but Senator Tmth also makes a good point. I second Rep. Classic Conservative's motion to table. If there is a second second, we can move to a vote to table this amendment.

Alright, we will now have a 72-hour vote on tabling this. Representatives may vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.

The vote to table has enough votes to pass. This amendment has been tabled.
