I don't really understand the point of clause 3, it adds an unnecessary complication. What was the intent there?

The Pacific Peace Union wrote:Vancouvia, I think when Dash said "if the SPT loses vouchers to where the number of them is under five" He means that the SPT will remain a senator even if he looses the needed vouch number since they would be a elected office. So I feel removing this and replacing it with "If the SPT is no longer a Senator" Would not work in this bill.

If it is, that would be an ideal place for SPT, as that is part of how the Senate is run, not necessarily what it is, as the Constitution is meant for

How so? I see where you are coming from in how the Senate is run, but we are establishing it as a official position, not one existing only for the Senate. The position exists to serve and will affect the entire region, and thus will be in the constitution.
