| Message | »Exactly. And, nine months before the end of the term, we can pass a bill to change the term length to 24 months. This would cause the elections to occur one month early, but if the next results are not favorable (i.e. we do not have the supermajority) we only have to bear with it for 24 months. If they are favorable, we immediately pass a proposal to extend the term length back to 72 months. We just repeat this each election cycle as a way of picking and choosing which elections we like.« ~Natasha Goldstein (Goldstein Corporation) |
