Bill: Changes in the nation
Details
Submitted by[?]: Lodamun Centre-Left Coalition
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: April 2115
Description[?]:
| [OOC: So I've gone a bit over the top here with so many proposals at one time (nine in two bills), but I figure it could only help or hurt me, so I've gone for it.] This bill would make the nation's capital rotate between the five state and current national capital every electoral term, making us of ALREADY-BUILT infrastructure so nothing new needs to be built. National sport changes from "Olympic-grade fencing" to "Fencing" to remove the elitism connotations, and the HoG would be directly elected. |
