Nay to all

A. Nay
B. Nay
C. Nay

Just over half of the governing coalition even bothered to come to vote after a whole 24 hours.

Every day I get more disappointed...

Nay to all

Senators, all amendments have failed and we have begun voting on the Removal of Shadow Positions and Caucuses Act.

Removal of Shadow Positions and Caucuses Act
Authors: Pap sculgief
Sponsors: Pap sculgief, Dendrobium

Preamble:

Understanding that in both chambers of Thaecian Congress, the positions of Deputy and Shadow Speaker/Chairman both co-exist;

Believing that the position of Deputy has provided more back-up and emergency support to the Speaker/Chairman than the position of Shadow;

Recognising that the positions of Shadow Speaker or Chairman were designed and introduced to compensate for a political climate that was focused on 'majority vs opposition' in the chambers of congress, however that political climate is no longer present;

Considering that if that is the case, then there is a lack of need for official recognition of caucuses and caucus leaders as well

Congress hereby agrees:


i. Repeals LR.027 The Shadow Speaker Act

i. Removes Articles VI and VII from LR.024 The House Procedures Act
ii. Renames all following articles to VII in LR.024 to fit accordingly

i. Removes Article VI from LR.037 Senate Procedures Act
ii. Renames all following articles to VI in LR.037 to fit accordingly

i. As stated in LR.024 and LR.037, due to this bill amending procedures in both chambers of congress, this bill requires a 2/3rds majority in both chambers of Congress in order for it pass

The bill has passed.

Senators, we have begun debate on the Positions Restrictions Reform Act (2021).



Positions Restrictions Reform Act (2021)

An Act that reforms and sets out new positions restrictions for government members.
------

-- Written by Islonia, Brototh --
-- Sponsored by Nova anglicum, Toerana V --
______________________________________________________________

PREAMBLE

Noting, that many legislators have been forced to resign to give up their positions in Congress to become Ministers,
Believing, that this system is outdated and does not work anymore,
Understanding, that as time goes on, this will only hurt Thaecia by taking away competent legislators,

Congress hereby agrees,

Section I - The following positions of government shall be defined as Restricted Positions:

  • a. The Presidency

  • b. The Prime Ministership

  • c. Justice

  • d. Electoral Commissioner

Section II - Government members in Restricted Positions cannot hold any other position in government, this includes:

  • a. The Presidency

  • b. The Prime Ministership

  • c. Justice

  • d. Electoral Commissioner

  • e. Any Ministerial Position

  • f. Senator or Member of Parliament

Section I - Ministers must not hold any other Ministerial Position. They shall, however, be permitted to hold lesser ministerial roles in other ministries.

Section II - Within Congress, Senators and Members of Parliament may only be allowed to hold their positions and extensions to them, this means roles such as Chamber Leadership. They may not be allowed to occupy more than one of these extended positions within Congress at once.

Section III - Secretary positions shall not be considered as Restricted. They shall be exempt from restrictions placed on other positions in this Act, and will face no restrictions on that position. However they shall still face other restrictions placed out in this bill on other offices.

Section I - The passage of this bill hereby constitutes the repeal of L.R.004 Positions Restriction Act.
