I think that there should be an extra sentence going something along the lines of "If the vote ends within the 24 hour period after the motion is made and seconded, the vote cannot pass until the aforementioned 24 hours have passed"
Under standard parliamentary procedure, legislation is not passed until the Chair declares it so. So, a prohibition on the chair declaring legislation passed until ruling on the motion would make sense.
I also will note that also in standard parliamentary procedure, once a piece of legislation is put up for a vote, it is no longer the authors to do with as they please.
Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.
