Actually we don't need a new plan, I know B likes to sign every Act whether she is required to or not however as per the Constitution-

Quote:
 
(18) Any law or treaty that achieves seventy-five (75) percent or more votes in favor of the number of votes possible in the Senate at that time will automatically bypass the requirement for the Grand Chancellor to sign the law or treaty.


9 Senators voting in favour from a possible 9 equals 100% voting in the affirmative.

Therefore this Act is all set to come into force as per the requirements set out within it i.e this will be in force within a week since we're at the nomination stage of the election cycle.

It's a constitutional amendment. It still needs a signature:
Article V.
 
(42) This constitution may be amended with vote of sixty six (66) percent or more votes in favor of the number of votes possible in the Senate at that time, and the signature of the Grand Chancellor.
