Bill: Constitutional Amendment of 3931
Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberal Party of Davostan
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 3932
Description[?]:
| Prologue: With the ever changing and diversifying senate. We'd like to propose an amendment to the following Constitutional law. "...vice-Presidency. This position must belong, by convention, to the same party as the President is from" We'd like to propose removing this line in the constitution and replacing it with, "vice-Presidency. This position may belong, by convention, to any recognised party in the Federal Republic of Davostan, Federal Senate that can command the respect of the Senate." This change will mean that the Head of Government seat will be chaired by the party that senate votes for, despite which party the President resides in. |

| Message | Being proposed again as the last version did not pass as it wasn't a 2/3 majority. |
| Date | 10:38:50, November 02, 2015 CET | From | United Democratic Action Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Amendment of 3931 |
| Message | Support. |
| Date | 18:16:51, November 02, 2015 CET | From | Co-Operative Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Amendment of 3931 |
| Message | I suppose I can support this, but I don't like how it will be implemented. The voting should be proportional to seats I think rather than one vote per party as that way stops myself being swamped by the right-wing coalition who may not even the majority of seats. |
| Date | 02:50:37, November 03, 2015 CET | From | Common Sense Conservative Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Amendment of 3931 |
| Message | I agree with the Co Op party. Voting should be proportional to seats. |

| Message | If the Co-Op stated their reasoning to vote no before, we'd have changed it... But then that goes back to the previous version, where the largest party gets the position, which doesn't aid anyone. This amendment states that the party or person who can command the respect of the Senate is deemed worthy to be given HoG. |
| Date | 18:20:20, November 03, 2015 CET | From | Justice and Reform Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Amendment of 3931 |
| Message | Support as before. |
| Date | 23:13:14, November 03, 2015 CET | From | Co-Operative Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Amendment of 3931 |
| Message | Largest party doesn't necessarily control the respect of the senate. If votes are proportional it prevents small parties from dominating by sheer number of parties. |
