The Pro Choice Act of 2011

The Republic of Atlasia hereby recognizes the independence of Georgia and Florida.

I am removing this as frivolous and unconstitutional. Sorry. Tongue

I ask you to reconsider as only the supreme court can say with certainty what is and is not unconstitutional, and if I recall, are you not the author of many past bills that would be considered frivolous? Tongue

Oh, now you say that? Roll Eyes
touché
I am guilty of that myself in the past, but I don't feel recognizing the existence of other countries as this would do is un-constitutional.

You mean repealing law decriminalizing posting PMs or chat logs?

I tried it once, because I believed it's illogical to allow something that is illegal under forum rules. But opposition was too strong for me to pass this.

My two cents:

While I'm not opposing the very idea of allowing recalls (actually, it can be a fun Tongue), I'd take it cautiously, like limiting this one to regional Senators only, to see whether recall stuff works, and then eventually expand.
