Since splitting a Presidential term could result in instability, I propose an amendment to section 4:

Nothing against the Senate, but since the House is popularly elected at large by the nation, I think we would represent the will of the nation more closely.

Three amendments to start off. Someone else will have to officially sponsor them.

I will assume sponsorship of all three.

Peebs already did. If there are no objections, they should be adopted.

Somehow I missed that. Withdrawing my (redundant) sponsorship.

As more than 36 hours have passed, all three amendments have been adopted.

Thanks, Poirot. A lot of clause 5 honestly seems unnecessary to me, I cleaned it up and came up with this:

I already stated my reasoning on the advanced ballot issue and also the number of required posts. Even if we cut it at 8, there will still be people who will be invalid because they miss it for a few posts. I think 10 keeps it at a reasonable number to ensure we don't have people who only vote on the site and do nothing else. I would be more open to raising it than lowering it, honestly. Both of these items were given to the House to debate but no one else seems to understand how important election regulations are.

I don't agree with raising the post count, but I like this version of Clause 5.

Also, since Tmth's most recent amendment lacks a sponsor, I'll do it.

We will now move to a final vote. Representatives have 72 hours to vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.

AYE

For clarity, here is the final version of the bill:

This bill has enough votes to pass. Representatives have 24 hours to change their votes if they want.
