NSG Senate (OLD THREAD, DO NOT POST)

[The God-Realm]

Yes, if I was not counted.

[Regnum Dominae]

I consider a 50% vote of all registered Senators to be completely impractical. It is necessary, as with any real-life chamber, to count the members attending and for no majority to be binding unless that company meets Quorum. That is, I would have it so:

Two thirds of all Senators must attend a vote. If they post, but do not call Aye or Nay, they are considered to have Abstained. If two thirds of all Senators do not attend, then the bill cannot pass, even if the Aye votes exceed fifty percent of the total registered Senators. However, a bill shall be carried if it gains 50% or more, of the attending Senators.

That said, I am voting Aye on the proposed bill constituting the Senate. We have to start somewhere, and it can be amended later if necessary.

I do not support your idea. How about we wait until all Senators have voted?

Can't and won't ever happen. Also that would mean ONE senator could filibuster with no support from anyone else. No thanks.
