So... can you make a full code for both the original debate thread of law and an amendment? Where does the law initials go?
Also (assuming this is what you mean):
A.LPA.B.1 (1st amendment) and A.LPA.B (Original debate thread) have the small problem that you can't search for a specific original debate thread because when you type in "A.LPA.B" you get all the amendments.
But what happens when an original debate thread (for a new law) fails?
Say, the Legislator Procedure act had a forerunner by the same name that failed. In my system, you could do something like:
A.LPA.B.1.F (Original one that failed)
A.LPA.B.2.P (Second bill that passed)
A.LPA.1.P (First amendment that passed)
And I know that looks like a lot of letters, but to be honest, it is much more clear than the current amendment titles which are basically whatever you want them to be.
