I found the party selection idea messy, so I'm inclined to support this.

Question:

Does this need the End to Districts Clarification Amendment to take effect?

No. That Amendment is unnecessary for this to take effect.

Indeed - if this bill is passed, the Amendment would be (at current) perfectly irrelevant.

This legislation has enough votes to pass. Senators have twenty-four hours to change their votes.

Final Tally on Final Passage

Aye: 6 (Verily; Conor; Meeker; Afleitch; CultureKing; Sam Spade)
Nay: 0
Abstain: 4 (Friz; Colin; Earl; Hughento)

With six in favor, none opposed and four abstaining, this bill passes. It is sent to the President for his signature or veto.

While this is not the simplest solution, I do thank the Senate for working to clarify this key issue for future vacancies.

Whlist I am unsure of my authority here, I would like to state that 7 days from passage have long since passed. This Bill has become Law without Presidential action.

More than 7 days having passed without the President's signature or veto, the bill becomes law.
