When we say constituents, what do we mean by that? People who voted for that candidate? Or 50% of the region's total population?
The latter.

I'll think about it. 50 percent would be as low as I could go. My only concern left with 50% is a candidate from one party could win by small margin in a region where they weren't the favorite, only to have the majority party vote them out 30 days later after being able to get the numbers. If I had my way, I'd make it 2/3s like everything else to override something.

Aye

I still think it's too high level, but obviously there's no support for lower.

Nay. I'm just not comfortable allowing something like this with just half the population signing onto it. With small parties or close elections, we could be potentially allowing instant recalls at no fault of the Senator himself. Byway said in the initiative debate "signatures are easier to get in Atlasia." He's right. Sorry guys.

This has enough votes to fail. Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.
