Bill: Citizenship Ammendments
Details
Submitted by[?]: United Malivia
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 2434
Description[?]:
| It is believed by United Malivia and our supporters that in order to strengthen our nation we must ensure that those who become citizens meet an acceptable criteria. It is also believed that in order to allow for more people in Malivia to vote we should lower the age at which a person is considered an adult. Furthermore, the laws regarding nationality qualifications should be changed so that they are less strict, due to the more strict citizenship qualifications. |

| Message | Second generation immigrants will become nationals, seeing as how their parents will have given birth to them in Malivia. Also, with current laws, if anyone can become a national then that also means that anyone can become a citizen, which is illogical. |

While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson |
