Ongoings in Congress

Aye: CorbinJc, M_Lasai

Krix proposes an in-game session at 3 PM EST on 26/9/2020 to address the Constitutional Repair Act II. The vote fails however.
Aye: Krix, M_Lasai
Nay: SpriteTropical, budgetmich

M_Lasai opened the Congressional Repair Act II in the Senate for votation. This passed the Senate with 3 Ayes. The next step for the bill will be a public referendum.
Aye: _Zab_, Hugebob, zLost

27/9/2020
Krix proposes the controversial Eminent Domain Act. M_Lasai addressed the more “libertarian leaning members” in the recent bill proposed that M_Lasai claims “civil forfeiture [is better than the] status quo.” SpriteTropical argued that it’s not fair that the bill allows for the government to take away property without consent. Krix responds with that “It’s needed for urban renewal.”

Hugebob and M_Lasai discuss this further, with M_Lasai saying that “staff is lying through their teeth” when they remove builds cited as “staff duty,” without the owner’s permission. Krix revises the controversial bill, allowing the courts the ability to prevent builds from being removed without permission if neccesary.

28/9/2020
SpriteTropical continues to disagree with the Eminent Domain Act, with Krix citing that the act just moves power from staff to the government.

Senator zLost resigns.

Hugebob urges his fellow senators to Nay every bill that originates in the House until power is granted to the Senate to originate bills. He proposes the Senatorial Bill Origin Amendment.

Hugebob revokes his above motion and instead requests that all Senators sit on House bills until the Senatorial Bill Origin Amendment passes in the House.

Tech and Hugebob discuss Krix’s bill Congressional Jurisdiction Act II, with many citizens believing that bill makes no improvement over his previous Congressional Process Amendment Act. Tech proclaims that he is “losing confidence in Krix ngl,” with Hugebob responding that Krix should stop trying to defend his bill, and that the conversation in #politics about the bill is “probably like a 3 to 7 point hit in the election,” to which Tech agrees.
