NSG Senate Chamber [NSG Senate] - Version 4

[Yanalia]

Oh I see. You can not fight with facts and go with if you do not do this we will impeach you? Wow. Really good from your side. Shows the true colors.

Wasn't planning on impeaching you. I was actually just wondering if the process was in place, or if a law was needed written about it. Stop presuming, and saying "Shows the true colors" is an attack against my honesty and integrity, and I ask you to withdraw it.

If you're curious, the Senate may vote to remove one Minister per term.

Thank you for your answer.

There is. A no confidence vote. An impeachment is done against the president. Consider it withdrawn.

On an unrelated note, the Russian Federation Council needs to get a newer vote tally board. Who still uses green-and-black LED signs? >.>

[The State of Czecho-Slovakia]

If I were president of the United States, I would have ordered sanctions on Russia. But we in Aurentina don't have the power to do anything with sanctions except piss people off. Russia's economy would hardly be hurt by the freezing of their citizens' (non-existent) holdings in Aurentine banks.

Believe me, I'm probably more hawkish than 90-95% of you guys, but Russia's too powerful for us to be taking on alone. We should only sanction to a similar extent as the USA and European Union do. However, as long as I'm still president, we will be aligning ourselves as allies of the West and the legitimate government in the Ukraine.

Agreed, though I am somewhat a hawk kind of Libertarian out of the party. If we are going to sanction them we should target valuable assets.

I'm more or less of the same opinion, though slightly less hawkish than I normally am in these cases. This is because I fear another land war in Europe (Seriously? Wasn't twice enough, Europe?), and because I'm now old enough to be drafted and I really don't want to die in a fox hole in the Crimea. Other than that, long live Ukraine!

Out of morbid interest, where in the que is my new railways act? At the very bottom, I suppose?

We just need to wait until next year (when I turn 26 and can no longer be drafted). Then we can have all the wars we want.

I'm thinking we should adopt this method, The Left side of the corridor outside will be the Yay side and the Right side the Noes.

Maybe we should name them as well? Left side will be called the "Yes man corridor" and the Right side "Naysayer passage".

So instead of putting "Yay" when in favour of a bill one puts "Standing in Yes man corridor"

Section 0. Preamble -

While this act was noble in it's intentions and purpose, it has only served to be a drain on our government funds. To ease the burden on the tax payer it is best that this act be repealed. Though, these work centres will not be abandoned all together. This repeal will lay out a plan to phase out these centres and ensure ones that are interested may stay open. It is this government's goal to lower the debt, and this repeal will be a small drop in the pool.

Section 1. Operative Clause -

1a. The government of Aurentina will no longer be obligated to comply with the PWCA after passing of this bill.
1.1a. All clauses of the PWCA will be struck from the record and rendered null and void.

1b. A transition period of 9 months will be allotted in which established work centres may find alternate sources of funding, or shut down entirely.
1.1a. After 9 months all government funding should cease and Section 1 Clause 1a. will come into full effect.
1.1b. If after 9 months all work centres have not shut down or found alternate funding may petition the government to extend the grace period by 4 months.
1.1.1a. This petition must have the signature of at least 12 senators, 2 of which must be opposition senators.
1.1.1b. This petition may be renewed only 1 more time after the first renewal totaling two renewals of 8 months.

1c. The grace period may not extend past 17 months.

Section 2. Appendix A: Definitions -
