You could just table an impeachment procedure with five people conspiring to.
Furthermore, the requirement for all is static, which isn't great.
6 tabling in a voter pool of 60 means that you could block any proposal with just 10% of all voters- which would be far from enough in matters for Delegate removal if it would come to vote, even... It means that who comes first, can potentially decide what happens... which is a bad policy for legislative processes.
Ah, writing that into the law was a mistake, the impeachment should not be table-able. Although for tabling in general, I'm willing to review it and potentially add restrictions, or increase the amount required to around 10 or so, but potentially raising it up any higher would just be tantamount to voting on it so it would make tabling unnecessary.
I don't see the need for allowing tabling. If the Assembly doesn't want a proposal to go to vote, they simply won't motion it to vote.
Have you...read this at all? Certain matters automatically move to a vote, and while many of them can't be tabled, some of them tabling is the only way to remove them. Additionally, it allows for the Assembly to remove something quicker than having to wait for the time periods to expire and the Speaker deciding to archive it.
