I was told by Hugebob that bribery is already illegal when I tried passing the Palpatine Act

Why do we need a bill to simply define bribery? I believe this should be contained in the same law outlawing such.

Veto

I hereby veto this bill based on the following reasons:
The term “goods” is not defined and could be interpreted as merely items. Meaning, bribing people with money would still be legal. Although I appreciate the concept of this bill and what it stands for, I would prefer that it be more in depth if re-proposed.

This also only defines bribery for political favors, I believe that’s too specific when bribery can be implemented in numerous other cases.
