Mathematical impossibility in the Legislator Committee Act
#1

Now, it may be that I have misinterpreted this, but the clause below doesn't make much sense. If there were only two votes in a month, it's mathematically impossible for a legislator to be absent for more than half of all votes. If there was such a scenario, they'd miss a mathematical maximum of 50% of all votes for the month, which is not more than half – it is exactly half. Now, if the minimum was three votes, then the mathematical maximum of missed votes would be 66.6...%.

(3) A legislator fails the voting requirement if they are absent for more than half of all votes finished in the previous calendar month if a minimum of three two votes occurred.

Well, technically, if they vote in one of the two votes that would put them at "half of all votes" not "more than half of all votes"; thus only missing both votes would disqualify a legislator.
