This is the act approved by the House:

Right now, I'm Acting PPT (the most senior Senator) and so it's my duty to open this thread.
Given the importance of this act and the current situation, this needs to be approved quickly and we'll do what the House already did: 24 hour for debate, then the vote.

My thanks to Senator Cris for getting the ball rolling here. I urge the Senate to pass this bill as quickly as possible; the existing Presidential Succession Act of 1947 does not reflect the current composition of the cabinet beyond the Secretary of State, meaning were I to be incapacitated, there would be no-one to take over as president. I'm not planning on going anywhere anytime soon, but better safe than sorry.

I'm happy with this and I'd like to motion an early closure of the debating period to enable us to vote on this.

I object to the fasttracking of this bill. Though I support this bill.

Seen that JCL objected, it's time for a vote on Clyde's motion. 48 hours or until a majority is reached.
