Expansion of Presidential Line Item Veto Power Amendment

Article I, Section 3, Clause 4 of the Constitution shall be amended to read as follows:

Whensoever the Senate shall pass a bill and present it to the President, he shall have the option to redraft the bill and return it to the Senate in redrafted form. The President shall have this option once with each particular bill presented to him. The original sponsor of the bill, as so defined in Senate rules, shall either file a motion to approve the President’s redraft by a simple majority vote, and return it to the President for his signature or veto, or withdraw the bill from the Senate.

If the Senate approves the President's redraft by a simple majority vote, the redrafted bill shall be returned to the President for his signature or veto.  If the Senate rejects the President's redraft, the original sponsor shall either file a motion to send the original draft of the bill back to the President for his signature or veto, or shall direct the Senate to resume debate on the bill as presented to the President.

Voting shall start immediately upon posting this thread and end precisely one week later.

I think I'm still Lieutenant Governor, right?

If I am, this vote is hereby closed
The amendment passes with 7 ayes and 2 nays.

If I am no longer Lt Gov. Would Bacon King or Sam please close this?

[Bacon King]

Assuming that I'm the Lt. Governor now, and not Sensei, I close this booth. The amendment passes with 7 ayes and two nays.

[Sensei]
