You said you wanted to introduce another amendment along with the idea that I had so that's why I wasn't doing anything on it.

[Peter]

You made a contradictory statement and then I asked for a clarification. You gave me this:

Basically I still want 5 Senators to come from the regions and the rest to come from districts, not sure about how many districts though.

Absent you actually telling me how many districts you want, I am unable to actually write anything. I presumed you might eventually let me know, but since you hadn't I decided to push this along.

And by not saying anything I was going to allow you to decide about the districts because whatever you would have thought of I would have probably approved of anyway.

[MasterJedi]

I hereby open up this motion for an end to debate. Please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.

[MasterJedi]

Nay, and I urge other Senators to vote this way as well. I would like to get the regional/district Senators thing fixed before we send it to the main vote.

I am neither telepathic nor your personal Jim'll-fix-it.

I would like to get the regional/district Senators thing fixed before we send it to the main vote.

Then please actually introduce amendments to that effect.

Aye on the motion.

Aye on the motion.

I will but first this has to fail otherwise I can't.

[Democratic Hawk]

Nay , I concur with the PPT

'Hawk'

[WMS]

Nay, let's get this cleared up first, shall we?

[Yates]

Nay, for the purpose of gauging public support.

[Gabu]

Nay, on the understanding that MasterJedi will introduce amendments if this motion fails.

[CheeseWhiz]

Nay.

[MasterJedi]

This motion has failed. I'll be introducing my amendment when I'm in study hall today in school. I'm not really awake enough now to do it.

[MasterJedi]

Here's the amendment, I probably could use some help on re-phrasing it so it sounds better.

Article I, Section 1, Clause 1 is stricken and replaced with:

1. The Senate shall be comprised of twelve Senators, each elected to a four month term. Five Senators shall come from each of the regions, the rest shall be elected from 7 districts.

[Yates]

I wholeheartedly support the amendment proposed by the good Senator above.  Regional representation is essential.

[MasterJedi]

Since there hasn't been any debate I hereby open up the vote on this amendment. Please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.
