Quote:IV. THE ASSEMBLY

Legislative Rules

7. Should a debate lead to multiple competing bills on a single issue, the Chair will bring them to vote in a sequential order based upon which bill has the most seconding motions. Should any bill on the issue be adopted, the issue shall be considered settled and competing bills will not be brought to vote at that point in time.

7. Should a debate lead to multiple competing bills on a single issue, the Chair will bring the competing bills to vote separately and simultaneously, in the same way regular business is done. The bill that gets the most aye votes and meets minimum threshold requirements will become law.

This is a much fairer system than the one just passed. It gets rid of the incentive to pile seconds to get to vote first, and allows Legislators the maximum amount of input into which bill becomes law. The way we vote would be the same as on any bill, but whichever one gets the most votes wins (assuming any bill reaches the minimum threshold required).

Okay we haven't passed it yet. I also think that maybe this would be a bit difficult to justify as if both pass an argument could be made that both should now be law. I think no matter what we pick there will be people who are opposed.

Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.

Well, the point of this is so that there isn't an argument that both should be law. We vote on all conflicting bills, and whichever one we all agree with the most wins. It's basically like approval voting in an election.

Aside from some concerns regarding its implementation, this has my support

Here's what I need to know right now. Is the general consensus that I wait on the treaty bill until this can be voted on and passed before bringing them to a vote?

Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.

Yup - I think that's the best approach.
