Bill: Republic Bill
Details

Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 2335
Description[?]:
| The empire is an outmoded idea and a foolish one - an elected emperor is merely a president with an old-fashioned title. A monarchy, if it exists at all, should be a symbol of pride for a nation, not simply an extravegance for a politician. |
