First, if you're going to amend a bill, determine what section/subsection the amended text falls under, or specify that you're creating a new Section/subsections..Please Smiley

Second, I don't like this bill.  If anything, you should add a section where you can legally table a bill if the sponsor hasn't advocated for it.  IIRC, our SOAP does not allow for you to table a bill this way, making it an illegal practice at this time.  More importantly, why would we "ignore" Representatives when they were duly elected by The People.  Seems a bit odd..

So, in a nut-shell here's some proposals that you can consider;

1) Add a provision into the SOAP allowing you to table a bill if the sponsor doesn't advocate for it
2) Add a provision limiting the amount of legislation a Rep/citizen/ect can have in the Queue at a time, if you're really that serious about this..
3) Amend Section 2 (Movement of legislation...) so that instead of introducing legislation "in the order they are proposed" you would refrain from bringing two bills from the same sponsor to the floor consecutively.
4) Doesn't really pertain to the discussion at hand, but while we're discussing possible SOAP ideas, consider Unanimous consent.
