Assembly Procedure Act Amendment (February 2020)

[Zapatian Workers State]

However, I fail to see the rationale for the amendment to Section 2, subsection 2.

It's a good idea to give assembly members more control over voting. You make a good point on the author having to be around though. The initial author can keep control of their thread for a week and then the community and speaker can decide what to do from there.

I am new to this but forcing myself to try to be active and learn so I hope I don't sound too dumb!! I like the first change. It would be awkward if someone posted in other parts of the site and never motioned to vote making it at a stand still. For the second change, why don't we have both the prime minister and the delegate be able to do it instead of just one of them? That way if one if not around much the other can still do it if we need to! anyway, good work Debussy!! ^-^

Good idea, Temmi. I had the same idea, but the mandate does not allow for it.

I. Assembly of Lazarus

(5) The Assembly may declare war against another region or organization, and repeal a declaration of war, at the request of the Prime Minister, by two-thirds vote.

I see your rationale on the amendment to Section 2, subsection 2. The bill exists independently of its author at some point, and must be evaluated on its own merit instead of the level of commitment had by the author, especially considering RL considerations may crop up.

However, for those who may take issue with the amendment to Section 2, subsection 3, I would remind all that the democratization amendment to Mandate 12 was instituted for good reason, specifically to designate executive functions formerly possessed by unelected officials (i.e. the Delegate) as reserved by the people's elected officials (i.e. the PM/Managing Director). I see no reason for why the newer provisions of the Mandate should be curtailed.
