| Message | "The Unionists have long backed a full restoration of the Old Republic. This bill would ensure that the Supreme President's democratic mandate is balanced with the democratic result of the Senate race and would force both Legislature and Executive to work together. Furthermore, it would ensure that the Supreme President is required to command a legislative majority in order to change the Government." Kunal Bhati-Idnani, Senate Warden, Unionist Legislative Lead |
| Date | 16:19:16, February 22, 2015 CET | From | Chann National Party (CNP) | To | Debating the Supreme Presidential Powers Clarification Act 3805 |
| Message | The CNP opposed the switch to any party being able to propose a cabinet when it was proposed during the era of the UDP. We are glad to see some sense in restoring executive power back to the executive branch. |

| Message | ~OFFICIAL LCC STATEMENT~ Our party feels torn about this issue. We have decided to vote yes. Frankly, the people choose our executive branch, and the executive branch leader has the right to choose his assistants. |

| Message | "The Unionists reiterate that the cabinet are not the assistants of the Supreme President, despite that LCC despots may wish to delude themselves into believing." Kunal Bhati-Idnani, Senate Warden & Unionist Legislative Lead |
| Date | 03:21:07, February 24, 2015 CET | From | Free Democratic Party | To | Debating the Supreme Presidential Powers Clarification Act 3805 |
