I am sponsoring this Amendment on behalf of the president. It's purpose is to correct a typo in the proposed Fourth Constitution that would eject the current administration from office three weeks before the next presidential election is scheduled to take place. I would note that the intent of the ConCon at the time of its adjournment was to allow the incumbent president and vice president to remain in office until after the June elections; this amendment allows that intent to go forward.

I request unanimous consent to immediately end debate and proceed with a final vote. Senators have 24 hours to object.

Do you plan to add the "Arizona" debacle to the Amendment or do you have a plan for it in other ways.

As the Constitution provides for a way to admit "new" states to the Union, this is slightly less pressing. I plan to bring this amendment to a vote, and then introduce a separate one re-admitting Arizona.

If I can I motion to suspend Senate rules on this bill and proceed to a final vote with a shorter voting period

This is perfectly allowable. The chair concurs.


Seeing no objection, we will proceed with a final vote on this Amendment. Please vote AYE, NAY, or Abstain. Voting will last 48 hours or until all Senators have voted.

AYE!
