No category has been listed, even though I assume this would go in Environment and Energy. You might think differently, though.

Therefore, this bill is rejected from entering queue until a category is listed.

[HumanSanity]

Point of Order, Mr. President pro Tempore of the Senate

What precedent is there for this bill's forcible withdraw by motion? What bill is it being done under?

[HumanSanity]

With that said I am withdrawing my sponsorship. I feel that the most recent edits have forced it to no longer be fully sound, albeit that it never was.

I look forward to rewriting it with Dragomere in the near future. However, this does effectively withdraw it from the queue as it no longer has five sponsors.

Noted. The act has been withdrawn from the queue. The motion is now not needed.

Could I ask, Mr. President pro Tem, for an explanation as to the law which grants the ability to remove a bill from the queue?

[The Nihilistic view]

Oh dear, not a good start is it for a prospective PM. Doesn't know the law does he! .......................

Just kidding,

there is not one that allows motions to remove it. I can only presume that the author or the sponsors decided to not sponsor it anymore in which case it will have been removed for not satisfying the 5 sponsors rule.

Although from what I can see the bill still has 5 sponsors as before HumanSanity pulled out it had six. That them leads to the question why has the bill been pulled when it still seems to have 5 sponsors?

It no longer had five sponsors. A bill must always have five sponsors during its time in the queue. I don't know the name of the law, but I'll let Venaleria do that.

That was not really the subject of my question, although I'd be interested to know if there are still 5 sponsors on the bill.

I was wondering if the motion that had been made earlier in the thread, to remove it, was even legal. Just asking for clarification.

Please, though, continue with the snide remarks.

Some sponsorships were withdrawn, so yes, it has dropped below 5 sponsors.

The bill had 5 sponsors, HumanSanity dropped his sponsorship, making 4.

No the motion is illegal, the second senate constitution has got rid of the right for senators to motion to send legislation back to the drawing board so to speak. The motion was a pointless exercise.
