Poll: Should the following amendment be passed?

~~Cormac~~ · 05-06-2017, 08:33 AM

A motion and a second have been received for the following amendment to Article 3 of the Legislative Procedure Act.

This is a vote on an amendment to a constitutional law. As such, it requires a three-fifths supermajority (60%) to pass. The Deputy Chair has determined that the amendment does not need to be voted on game-side.

The timing allotted for this vote is five days. Voting will end on May 11 at 8:35 a.m. EDT.

The debate thread is here.

Amendment to Article 3 of the Legislative Procedure Act Wrote:3. Amendment to the Charter of the Coalition of the South Pacific

(1) Article IV, Sections 5-9 of the Charter of the Coalition of the South Pacific will be amended as follows:

Amendment to Article IV, Sections 5-9 Wrote:Legislative Rules

5. All bills will be moved to a vote upon receiving a second by another legislator, should the Chair or their designated deputy determine that there has been sufficient debate on the issue. Debate must last for a minimum period of time equivalent to that proposed legislation will be at vote for.

6. All general laws, resolutions, and treaty ratifications must be passed by a simple majority of those voting. Laws marked as constitutional laws, or resolutions that deal with issues found in constitutional laws, require a three-fifths supermajority of those voting to pass. Appointments, unless otherwise specified, require a simple majority of those voting.

7. The Chair or their designated deputy is responsible for the creation of a voting thread, and recording the votes. In the event that the Chair or their designated deputy does not or cannot perform their duties in a reasonable timeframe, any member of the Assembly may create a voting thread.

8. 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.

9. The legislative history of all laws will be recorded by the Chair, including debate threads, vote results, and amendment histories.
