[Draft] Legislative Procedure Act
#9

I think it'll be very predictable that drafters/supporters of a bill will "object" to a Chair's adverse ruling, no matter the merit, and overturn it based on politics alone, rather than any real legislative or procedural precedent.

Don't like that the Chair says this amendment needs be voted on game-side? Screw that, I'll just object and we'll let politics decide. Oh, the Chair disagrees? Guess we'll spend forever in court. Disagree with that court decision? Whatever, we'll just motion to reverse the chair anyways. (Guarantee this'll happen all the time.)

Want to delay a vote? Let's motion to reverse the Chair's decision that enough debate has happened. That'll buy us 4 days!

Just really hate who got elected chair? Did they make a ruling about your amendment format, and you just want to troll them for the lulz? Motion to overturn. 4 days of delay just because!

We may as well just get rid of the Chair and put every procedural decision up to a vote.
