Senate Debate on that yin.

[minionofmidas]

Okay. I'll start the vote on Dwtl's amendment first.

Please vote aye, nay or abstain.

To replace the text with:

Clauses 7 and 8 of the National Energy Act (F.L. 3-3) are hereby repealed.

If that fails, we'll vote on Sensei's amendment next. If it passes, I'll need word from Sensei on what to do with his amendment. Also, either way more amendments might be offered yet.

[minionofmidas]

Nay


Current vote count:
Aye 3 (Dwtl, Verily, Torie)
Nay 1 (Lewis)
abstain (voted) 0
abstain (yet to vote) 6 (Jas, Al, Bacon, Culture, Sensei, Meeker)

[minionofmidas]

Current vote count
Aye 4 (Dwtl, Verily, Torie, Bacon)
Nay 3 (Lewis, Al, Culture)
abstain (voted) 0
abstain (yet to vote) 3 (Jas, Sensei, Meeker)

Times out on the 6th, people.

[minionofmidas]

4-4, 24 hours left to vote.

[minionofmidas]

Final vote count
Aye 4 (Dwtl, Verily, Torie, Bacon)
Nay 4 (Lewis, Al, Culture, Sensei)
abstain (voted) 1 (Jas)
abstain (did not vote) 1 (Meeker)

The VP gets to break the tie.

[minionofmidas]

The amendment has failed.

[minionofmidas]

We're now (finally!) voting on this amendment:

I propose an amendment to keep clause 2

ie to strike all mention of Clause 2 from the text of the act.

Please vote aye, nay or abstain.


Aye.

[minionofmidas]

What does Clause 2 do?

Probably nothing whatsoever except a declaration of intent. Not in my name, though:
"2. The environmental regulations shall be eased to allow for easier approval of refineries."

[minionofmidas]

I change my vote to Nay, actually. I think I was suffering from some long-standing confusion here.

[minionofmidas]

And I propose three Amendments to be voted on simultaneously after this one - to include Section 6, to include Section 7, and to strike Section 8 from the list of Sections to be repealed.


Current vote count:
Aye 2 (Bacon, Jas)
Nay 1 (Lewis)
abstain (voted) 0
abstain (yet to vote) 7 (everybody else)

[minionofmidas]

Change to nay too. It would appear I'm not the only one who got confused by the removal of a removal.

Yeah.

Current vote count:

Aye 0
Nay 4 (Bacon, Jas, Lewis, Torie)
abstain (voted) 0
abstain (yet to vote) 6 (Al, Sensei, Meeker, Culture, Dwtl, Verily)

[minionofmidas]

This amendment has failed.

[minionofmidas]

Vote on my Amendments to begin tomorrow.

[minionofmidas]

three Amendments to be voted on simultaneously after this one - to include Section 6, to include Section 7, and to strike Section 8 from the list of Sections to be repealed.

The vote is on the Amendments. Please vote aye, nay or abstain.

Please note that these are three separate votes.


Section 6: Aye.

Section 7: Aye.

Section 8: Aye.

[minionofmidas]

If not out of order, I wish to propose and have a vote on the following amendment:

We will vote on this amendment after the current amendment vote.

Does this replace the entire text, or is it a second section?

Re your new post: Yes.

[minionofmidas]

Current vote count (on all amendments)

Aye 4 (Lewis, Jas, Verily, Torie)
Nay 0
abstain (voted) 0
abstain (yet to vote) 6 (Al, Bacon, Culture, Meeker, Dwtl, Sensei)

[minionofmidas]

All three Amendments have passed.

Final vote count (identical for all three - why did I think it reasonable to give people a detailed choice here?):
Aye 7 (Lewis, Jas, Verily, Torie, Bacon, Dwtl, Sensei)
Nay 0
abstain (voted) 0
abstain (did not vote) 3 (Al, Meeker, Culture)


The vote is on an amendment to add the following Section 2 to the Act:
