AYE

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

Aye

[Anna Komnene]

Actually, we're not having a vote just yet!   It's not absolutely imperative that we pass this to be able to consider other legislation because the constitution leaves it up to my discretion.  So for the time being, I will just be using these rules until we make them law.  I just want to make sure everyone has time to offer amendments if they wish.

Anyone can introduce other legislation in the main thread if they want too.

I was just going to say that it was sound and that I intended to vote Aye before dfw decided to just go ahead and say aye.

[Anna Komnene]

No worries!  I forgot to add the debating tag to the title too, so that was my bad.  But just for future reference, generally we'll have a minimum of 24 hours of debate and then when there is a vote, I'll call for the vote and give the time for how long it'll last.

[Anna Komnene]

Seeing no further debate, we'll take this to a final vote.  Members will vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.  This will be a 48 hour vote. (Okay you can vote now )

Aye

Voting is now closed.  The AYEs are 4, and the NAYs are 0, with 1 not voting.  The AYEs have it, and the bill has passed.  The bill is now passed onto the Governor for his signature or veto.

(I will post it together with the other bill later tonight).

     X PiT, South Governor

That works too!

Procedural changes regarding the deliberative body are not laws, and do not require the Governor's signature. Requiring such would cause the Governor to violate the separation of powers.

I wondered about it myself but I looked back in Atlasian history, and there was precedent for sending it to the governor.  Anyway, it's not like he vetoed it, so there's literally no change from before?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     It was explained to me in the past that it depends on whether the Legislature is constitutionally permitted to define its own rules. That is something we should look up in the future, but for ow I just signed it since I was asked to do so.
