HOUSE BILL: Atlasian Regional Powers Commission Act (Passed)

[Leinad]

I'll start off by saying that every committee/commission/whatever that we do decreases my opinion on the effectiveness of the strategy That being said, if this can work, I like the idea.

Question for the sponsor: why is the House getting to nominate more members than the Senate? I suppose it might be "against my self-interest" as a Representative or whatever to take issue with this, but I like the idea of an equality between both chambers. I also like the idea of 3 regional members and 3 federal members.

I wanted to have a split of three regional members, three federal members, plus one executive member - which obviously means that there would be a chamber getting to pick an additional member to the other. I chose the House, as the Senate confirms the cabinet positions - so I found it fairer that way.

Is the federal executive branch not federal?

Abstain

Still not a fan of more people chosen by the House than Senate. Shame on me for not proposing an amendment in time. Oh well. I encourage the Senate to discuss that when it gets to them.
