Is the idea that this is better in the constitution than in statue? The elections act that just passed the Senate covers this.

I'm sponsoring this on behalf of Justice Yankee. I can ask him his reasons.

[Clark Kent]

It should be done via amendment because:

1. This is how it was amended in the US Constitution
2. We forgot to put it in our constitution (which was a mistake)
3. Having strong clarity for transition of power benefits our republic to promote the general goodwill and tranquility.

I wasn't sure before, but I agree with Rep. JCL.

[Clark Kent]

Once again, I would urge the body to consider allowing the Constitutional Ad Hoc Committee the time to produce a comprehensive amendment of small changes, rather than push each one through individually. That is partly why we established it in the first place.

I realize I'm flip-flopping now, but Senator Tmth also makes a good point. I second Rep. Classic Conservative's motion to table. If there is a second second, we can move to a vote to table this amendment.

[Clark Kent]

Alright, we will now have a 72-hour vote on tabling this. Representatives may vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.

[Clark Kent]

AYE

[Clark Kent]

The vote to table has enough votes to pass. This amendment has been tabled.
