[Clark Kent]

There are several differences between the bill I introduced in the House Introduction thread and the one that Classic Conservative introduced in the Senate thread. I ask that they be treated as separate bills.

I understand that. I've read through both, and I noticed the differences.

However, after you posted this, Classic Conservative announced his intention to co-sponsor this one. I expect him to withdraw his other bill.

[Clark Kent]

Is there any more debate to be had?

[Clark Kent]

The GM is supposed to be as impartial as possible, so I don't think it should be too politicized. Having the position go through both Houses increases that chance. I support having only the House confirm them.

[Clark Kent]

On second thought, I've changed my mind: the GM is supposed to be impartial and apolitical, and the Senate is generally more stable than the House, so having the Senate confirm the GM makes more sense.

[Clark Kent]

Mr. Truman is right. I will extend the period of debate for another 24 hours. I also propose an amendment addressing his concerns:

It goes further than his suggestion, but this should make the GM a little harder to remove.

[Clark Kent]

Seeing as how there has been no debate, we will now move to a 72-hour vote on my amendment. Representatives may vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.

[Clark Kent]

AYE

[Clark Kent]

The bill now has enough votes to pass.

[Clark Kent]

Representatives have 72 hours to vote on the revised version. I will accept Rep. DKrol's vote.

AYE

[Clark Kent]

This bill now has enough votes to pass. Representatives still have 70 hours to add or change their vote.

[Clark Kent]

This bill has enough votes to pass. The vote is now closed.
