Sponsorship cannot be withdrawn during a vote. And Bacon King made the deadline (as did Jake), so...

Tally on Amendment
Aye: 5 (Verily; Moderate; Afleitch; Sam Spade; Bacon King)
Nay: 5 (Ebowed; Speed of Sound; Friz; Sensei; Jake)

With five in favor and five opposed, the Vice President gets to do his duty.

First off, let me say that I feel the original Amendment submitted and that which we are deciding on now are both preferable to the status quo. Personally, I would have prefered removing all references to the budget from the Constitution and leaving it as a purely legislative matter. However, it seems quite clear that should I vote Nay now, the Amendment will fail to get the necessary 2/3 support to go to the regions.

It does seem possible though, that the proposal at discussion could get the 7 votes required. Though I don't feel it's ideal, I do think it's a substantial improvement on the current Constitutional provisions. Therefore, I vote in favour of the Amendment.

Great, so now we get a chance to vote to legalize what we've been doing for two years and continue to do nothing, or just be okay with it being illegal and keep doing it anyway. When it comes to change here, I guess "No We Can't".

Abolishing the budget would not be "change", it would be just like the current circumstance. This amendment allows Senators to work on the Budget if they really want to. Sen. Moderate has indicated some desire to work with the budget, at least, and I am not one to say that we shouldn't allow anyone to try to come up with something, even if we think right now that it is an overly daunting task.

I will pick up sponsorship. Senators (except Sen. Ebowed) have twenty-four hours to object.
