I no longer know what to think of this Assembly. It's becoming a group of the same posters that shoot down any idea that doesn't involve amending large chunks of the Charter, because it's overlegislation. And we wonder why people don't feel inclined to participate?

Newsflash: The Assembly is supposed to make laws. How about we start making some?

Quote:The Chair of the Assembly has authority to correct spelling and numbering errors in the Charter and the Code of Laws, but the Assembly must be informed of all such actions.

All I did was reword the begining.

I do believe that the above text is pretty good.

If we are debating about whether or not we it is legal for something to happen then I would call that piece that is being debate about underlegislated.

Im all for a compromise, as long as it doesnt mean I have to compromise...
/sarcasm.

Really. I think GEs idea of authorizing the Chair to make spelling and numbering changes, AFTER logging it in an assembly thread is the best compromise. Im all for it.

That's a facetious and absurd definition. "Passage of legislation" cannot possibly be interpreted to give authority to alter laws after they have passed.

You knew that what you were doing was illegal and you didn't give a shit.
