No, there is no waiting for all members to convene. In practice, that would take too long anyway. If the quorum is met, and of those people, a majority decide to do something, it's done.

That mentions that there's up to 7 days to comment on the bill in its final form. I still don't see any "violation" -- the final form of this includes MO's changes, which people didn't really start agreeing on until July 25-26. Final form to me means all changes in, preparing to go to vote --...

As many of you have noticed, I decided not to run for a 4th term as Speaker, partly because I think I've done all that I can for 3 terms and the job is quite draining. (In regards to sniffles' campaign post, I actually have only held this job for 3 terms, not 5). However, I don't know what I'll...

Well, the Speaker is supposed to break any ties in the SC. In fact, the Speaker may only vote in the event of a tie.

I want to be clear here.. Since many people approve of MO's changes, I will put this up for a vote. HOWEVER -- I disagree with the implication that this bill is the longest one ever to be in formal discussion. That's simply not true -- many bills have been discussed in formal discussion for...

Meh.. Here in California (Silicon Valley), it gets hot in the summer (90's sometimes, but usually only in September), but the past four days have been basically upper 90s/low 100's, with Midwest-style humidity (50% or so). That has been excruciating, especially for most of us around here not...

Saying the government does not have the right or authority to fund scientific research is, in my mind, somewhat ludicrous. The "necessary and proper" clause in the Constitution has been stretched to include a lot of things, and some of those things are way less necessary and proper than...

Originally drafted by Flemingovia:

Is there a deadline I'm not aware of? The only deadline I'm aware of is the 21-day deadline to schedule a vote after it has been formally submitted. We are currently on day 7 of the formal discussion. I can post a voting thread since people are generally agreed on this -- I assume that MO's...

Is there a final version of this (or is it the original version)? Hers as requested moving this along seeing as how it affects what's going on right now around us.

Alright. I will create a poll topic and list the "rules" for such a vote.

I agree.. I have seen nothing off-topic in this discussion. I further agree with Roman regarding the specific duration issue. AlHoma makes the obvious point that it only lasts until FEC's term runs out, but it would be just as well to state that clearly, I think -- the actual expiration month...

Originally drafted by Chief Justice Byardkuria -- I would like to bring up the slight formatting issue of whether this is going to be a TNP Law (I think it is -- I don't think its a Constitutional addition). Edit: Added the three words in italics that Unter suggested.

Moved to main RA forum.
