Because we have an active discussion on the future of Vice Presidency during this campaign, I shall withdraw this:

Yes, Yes, I know chances of this passing are like 0%, but I'm still introducing this, so at least we can have a decent debate Tongue

Vice Presidency Abolition Amendment

1. The office of Vice President of Atlasia is hereby abolished, effectively from the start of the first presidential term after this amendment is passed
2. If the Presidency shall ever fall vacant, the highest-ranking, per current line of succession, Cabinet member shall become President.
3. If the President is unable, either by his own written declaration or Cabinet member and two-thirds majority Senate declaration, the highest-ranking, per current line of succession, shall serve as Acting President for this period, specified by Section 3, Article 2 of the Constitution

Since there's been a lot of talks about reforming the Vice Presidency, I shall officially present my idea, I voiced earlier:

Active Vice Presidency Amendment

1. Vice President's function as President of the Senate shall be abolished.
2. The position of President pro tempore of the Senate shall be transferred to President of the Senate.
3. President shall be required to appoint the Vice President as one of the cabinet officials (namely Secretary of External Affairs, Secretary of Internal Affairs, Secretary of Federal Elections, Attorney General, Registrar General or Moderator General), in addition to his elected position.
4. President shall be allowed to remove the Vice President from a cabinet post, as long as he shall offer him another.

Drought Mitigation Act of 2011

1)$100 million shall be set aside annually to a maximum of $500 million in a fund to provide low interest loans to farmers and ranchers who have been acutely affected by drought.  In order to qualify, said farmer or rancher must meet the following criteria:
    A.  The governor of the region the farm or ranch is located in must declare a state of emergency due to drought.
    B.  The farmer or rancher must demonstrate that the drought could reduce his/her income by at least 20% based on average yields for such land.
    C.  The farmer or rancher must demonstrate the ability to repay the loan within 5 years with a 2% APR added.  Forbearances can be made by subsequent years of drought or other financial hardship.  Small operations constituting fewer than 500 acres of land and owned by an individual or a small cooperation of immediate family members may be subject to 100% loan forgiveness if they can prove that annual loan payments will exceed 10% of income derived from the farm/ranch land.
2)  $100 million shall be made available annually in the form of grants to regional natural resource departments and to farmers and ranchers or other large land owners with oversight from the respective natural resource departments for long term drought mitigation projects.  Any unspent monies shall be carried over to the next year and the account replenished to $100 million.  These projects can be, but are not limited to, drought resistant tree, shrub, and grass planting to slow winds and protect soil, the conversion and adoption of dry land farming techniques including shallow plowing, and measures to protect farm and ranch steads from wildfire.  All money shall be distributed through the respective department of natural resources in the given region.
3)  $15 million shall be set aside annually for education materials regarding drought and wildfire risks for the general public, with not less than 2/3 of the monies allocated to regions with enhanced drought risk (Midwest, Southeast, Pacific).
4)  $20 million shall be made available annually to the respective departments of natural resources within the various regions for controlled burning activities.  Acknowledging that fire is an important part of dry land ecology and the danger posed by decades of fire suppression, the various DNRs shall adopt plans regarding controlled burns to best reduce the loss to personal property from wild fires.



*I'm introducing this bill because parts of the Midwest, Southeast, and Pacific regions are experiencing intense drought even while others face record floods.  Scientists have concluded that long term changes in solar activity, various natural cycles of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, and human induced climate change are increasing drought risks for the southern tier of Atlasia.  These regions play an important role in our farm and ranch economy.  With preparedness and emergency funds, these farmers and ranchers will be able to adapt to increased droughts rather than have to pack up and move.
