Bill: -
Details
Submitted by[?]: al-'Aqrab al-Aswad al-Tahalof
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: December 3342
Description[?]:
The concept of tied foreign aid is completely unethical and cannot continue as a policy in our nation. Additionally, there is no reason to restrict the entrance of refugees. First, the number that we get isn't that massive of a number. And second, its not as though arriving refugees are any sort of bother on our resources. We should welcome refugees and offer them the chance for a new and better life. |

Random fact: Any RP law granting extraordinary "emergency powers" or dictator-like powers to a government must be passed by at least a 2/3rds majority, but (like all RP laws) may always be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature. |
