Bill: Military Decency Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberty Party of Telamon
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.

Description[?]:
| These are all proposals that would make sense in a modern world. Chemical weapons are inhumane and cause dangerous collateral damage, and we can't use them anyway based on current legislation. Arms developed in this country should only be sold to close allies for the sake of international safety. We cannot allow weaponry to get in the hands of our enemies and international terrorists. We also have a responsibility to control our intelligence agency for the rights of other nations and their sovereignty. |
