As per the legislation governing the Citizens Assembly, the Senate is required to debate and then vote on this. I am aware that the debate and voting periods will not bring this Act into effect before the end of the current election cycles. However James may rest assured that steps are being taken for the current cycle by the Chancellery. Anyway the following Constitutional Amendment proposed by James_Ed and CGJ has already cleared the Citizen's Assembly Debate and will be up for Senate debate until at least the 13/1/2015.

This is definitely something that is necessary, to prevent lots of new members swinging the vote, we should definitely try to get it passed Edited by Major_Thom, 10th January 2015 - 10:46 PM.

I don't really see how the CA had the authority to suggest this in the first place, but I'll cooperate. The amendment itself seems awkwardly written; for example, the section to be amended reads as follows:Additionally, having just looked through the text of the constitution, did you know it has no section 16? With that in mind, I propose the following rewrite:

The CA has the authority to suggest a Constimendment...anyone does. Though technically in this case Achkaerin has submitted this on the CA's behalf. On a note about amending Section (46)...oopsie. I must have been tired writing this. Fortunately an Order-in-Council will come into effect prior to the opening of votes that will, in effect, apply this amendment to the current election. |

As I said in the Assembly Docket when this was submitted to the assembly the actual mechanism of amending the constitution is the Senate vote, so allowing the CA to propose and debate an amendment is fine since they are not permitted to vote on it and therefore do not possess the mechanism they require to amend the Constitution. The vote on Constimendment's stays within the Senate so only it has the mechanism and it does (although it's never happened) have the capability to say no and refuse to pass legislation by means of a NAY vote. |
