NSG Senate (OLD THREAD, DO NOT POST)

[Aeken]

Senator, You are out of line. As per the Ethics Act of 2013, slandering fellow senators is illegal, and you just called all those in support of this bill "Pig-Dog Imperialists".

I retract the 'pig-dog' statement, but as there are parties here in this very senate who uphold imperialism, and parties who uphold the bourgeois to be not a slur, those slurs are in fact not slurs when directed at them.

I am no imperialist, so do not address me as one. I just am rather disappointed that I feel I was supporting this bill, and now may not.

Imperialism is proper to bring peace to other lands. Our human rights are the world's standard. Let's share them.

[Zweite Alaje]

We should have both a cap on the quantity of senators and a time limit. When a seat opens a new applicant can fill the vacancy.

Don't oppose the bill just because he supports it.

...He Doesn't Support the bill.

[Aeken]

...He Doesn't Support the bill.

I wasn't reacting to him, anyways. Just observing other posts, that's all.

[Costa Alegria]

250 is a remarkably high number. May I suggest that we lower the number to 200 senators? We already have 181 of them here.

Sorry, must have misread... his post was kind of stupid.

[Bleckonia]

We have over 200; many are not included on the list, though. The most recent count I'm aware of is 222.

[The Rebel Alliances]

Been out a couple days. What Votes have I missed?

[Bleckonia]

Been out a couple days. What Votes have I missed?

I think the republican/monarchy vote. The Republicans won by a landslide.

[The Rebel Alliances]

I would rather Republicans. Also, did the Abortion proposals ever make it to chamber?

[Soviet Canuckistan]

Because we have more than two hundred Senators, here is the revised act (changed parts in red).

first-come, first-served basis - the first applicant who applies after a Senator's removal to be accepted shall take the place of said former Senator

The purpose of this Act is to promote stability and efficiency within the Senate and to prevent turmoil.

B. If any Senator is unable to carry out his or her duties due to ejection from the Senate or any other reason provided by the Constitution of the Senate as written in Act I, a new Senator shall take his/her place by first-come, first-served basis, provided the ejected Senator does not follow the procedure outlined in subsection C within fifteen (15) days of ejection.

C. Any Senator who has been ejected for the first time shall be given a period of fifteen (15) days to complete point i of the following, and he/she must then follow the remaining steps:

EDIT: put in quotations.

I think it was amended to 275 already.

Well, I'm re- amending it.

[The Treorai]

Wh-Wh-Wha?
But... But Y-You... We amended... But... Huh?

[Soviet Canuckistan]

I think it was amended to 275 already.

Well, I'm re- amending it.

Why does it need to be reamended from 275?

[Bleckonia]

Well, I'm re- amending it.

Fine, we'll go with 275.

(But I like clean- cut, even- steven numbers. Just saying).

Edited to meet specifications requested by other Senators.

[Costa Alegria]

Just stick with 250.

[Bleckonia]

Just stick with 250.

Other senators wanted 275. So I'll go with 275. It's okay, it's only 25 more Senators.

275 also avoids ties if all senators vote.

[Polvia]

Democracy is more important than the stability of coalitions.

Agreed. Plus if their majority is so small that a few senators derails it then it wasn't much of a stable coalition to begin with.

[Evraim]

No. There's a queue. We are supposed to telegram our finished resolutions to Denecap. I think that the Provisional Criminal Code and the Ministers resolution are the next bills that will see the floor.

No, that was changed by denecap because of overload of tg's he got. Now, we just post it here and there is a queue which if I am remembering right goes like this:-
1. Senatorial Limitation Act
2. Bodily Sovereignty Act.
3, Ministry Foundation Act (Thanks, Aeken for reminding me of this).
I am not sure if national symbols act was asked to be put on queue or not...

I made a motion to add the Provisional Criminal Code to the queue a while back... And NAME... I would respectfully assert that the former ought to receive the attention of the Senate before the Bodily Sovereignty Act as it obtained the necessary support well before the Bodily Sovereignty Act was conceived. I think this order is roughly as follows:

1. Senatorial Limitation Act
2. Provisional Criminal Code
3. Ministry Foundation Act
4. National Act of Memorable Excellence (All hail Lucy!)

Unfortunately, the Bodily Sovereignty Act was fifthed, and judging from this link, I cannot find a fourth or fifth.
