Amendment to clarify this

and they so removed shall be ineligible to any office under this Region for an indefinite period that shall be decided by a court. not exceeding eighteen months.

I think you mean definite, not indefinite. The court cannot set an indefinite period, because an indefinite period is a period that shall never end.

Indefinite: lasting for an unknown or unstated length of time

Therefore, not forever

The amendment gives some power to the governor, but not an excessive amount

[S019]

Aye, this amendment is a moderate proposal, which gives some power to the governor, but also some additional powers to the Council

[S019]

I object


We need more debate on this, I offered a reasonable amendment that was rejected, and then no one else has bothered to debate.

[S019]

NAY

[S019]

Nay, I believe that the governors should not have too much power, its better not to have the Governor be so much more powerful than the Speaker or Chancellor.
