There will be 72 hours for debate, extendable to 96 at the request of the sponsor and further only by OOC requests by the players (with a credible reason).

Debate having been closed, the Speaker called for a vote on the Jay Amendment. By a vote of 62 to 3, the Amendment failed.

National Assembly Vote:

Moving into the final vote, the result was 53 in favor, 7 against, 5 abstentions.

Senate and President:

The Senate vote seeing 20 votes in favor, surpassing the two-thirds necessary for a Constitutional Amendment, the Declaration of Rights Amendments were considered passed and sent to the states for ratification.
