If the bill has a motion to vote, and it has been seconded, then it shall become open to a vote of all Commissioners. This vote shall last until a week since the vote began or until all the Commissioners vote. 13. At the conclusion of a vote the Speaker shall announce the outcome. If the councilors are evenly divided the Speaker may issue a vote after the end of the vote, which shall end the split. If the bill gets two-thirds (2/3rds) simple majority, in favor, then it shall be considered passed. If it fails to get that amount then it fails. If a bill requires in its text, or a previous Binding Directive requires it, then this requirement may become higher or more stringent. 14. After a Directive passes it shall go to the Imperial Chancellor for either signing or veto. If it is signed it becomes a Binding Directive and shall become equal to a decree, if it is not signed and instead vetoed it shall be an Advisory Directive and not have any force of law. 15. If a bill states that it shall not be binding, and has no binding language or nature, then the Imperial Chancellor does not have to sign it and it shall immediately become an Advisory Directive. Powers reserved to the Speaker 16. The Speaker may expedite any bill during an emergency, after which the remaining period of debate shall be waived and any motion may be made on the bill. 17.

All Resolutions passed by the Assembly of Shells and given the force of law by the Imperial Chancellor shall become Binding Directives and no longer be considered both Resolutions of the Assembly and Decrees. They may still be historically listed as both. Classification of Directives according to the law 23.
