SENATE BILL: The No Moderator or Accidental Invalidation Amendment (Passed)

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

In my view, given that it may be some time before the new electoral act is in fact passed, we should pass this as it stands, especially given amendment-level support for it may not be there in the next term. We can always amend the legislation portion by simple majority at a later date, but the Amendment portion needs to move immediately as all House Rightists oppose it and they may gain a seat in the upcoming elections, enabling them to stop amendments.

Just to be clear: the constitutional amendment has passed both houses with identical text, yes? It's only the legislative fix that the House still needs to approve?

No, the house needs to approve the whole thing, as it did not pass the house by the required supermajority.

Legislative fix does not need a supermajority? The amendment itself passed the House with the same text it has now.

The Amendment didn't pass the House, it failed due to only being a 5-3 vote which does not count as two thirds as it's two thirds of ALL SITTING MEMBERS.
