Motion to Waive Final Budget

[Democratic Hawk]

Article I, Section 8, Clause 6 of the Second Constitution reads:

6. The Senate must approve each and every Budget before moving on to any other matter

This clause was amended by the Fourth Amendment to read:

6. The Senate must approve each and every Budget before considering any bill or constitutional amendment. However, the Senate may, by a vote of two-thirds of its number, waive this requirement.

I, hereby, move that the Final Budget requirement be waived and bring this matter to the vote

I'm well aware we have problems here but nevertheless at some point in this Senate a Final Budget must be approved by the Senate and signed by the President

NAY
If we put it off now, who is to say that we don't put it off indefinately and it never gets done? We MUST uphold the Constitution, however, if this is such a major issue and is waived, we should AMEND the Constitution so as to remove this burden, but I will stand by my duty to uphold the Constitution and ask that those who have not yet voted do the same!
Again, I say "NAY!"
