HR 1271: Pardon Reform Amendment

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

To clarify, does the administration intend by this amendment to establish that the president is not immune from ordinary criminal prosecution while in office, as is commonly held?

Obviously Yankee can answer whenever he gets to this, however 24 hours has passed with no objections, so a final vote is now open. Representatives, please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain. 72 hours, you guys know the drill.

[Pericles]

It is not my desire with this amendment to change anything regading ordinary prosecution while said individual is in office.

[fhtagn]

The vote is closed.
Aye; 5 (Pericles, fhtagn, Old School Republican, OneJ, Razze)
Nay; 0
Abstentions; 0
Not voting; 4 (RFayette, Peebs, Lechasseur, weatherboy)

[Pericles]

As 2/3rds of the full House were needed to pass this, this constitutional amendment has failed.
