Constitution Bill 2009

[Kraffe]

APPROVE

[JasonMckerra]

The amendment is approved.

We shall now consider the next amendment.

The original clause reads:

This constitution may be amended by an Act of the Assembly, passed with at least seventy five percent in support, and endorsed by the Council of Elders.

The proposal is to amend it to read:

This constitution may be amended by an Act of the Assembly, passed with at least sixty percent in support, and endorsed by the Council of Elders; or passed with at least seventy-five percent in support, regardless of endorsement by the Council of Elders.

Debate is open for three days.

[Brandon]

At the moment I would like the greater leniency, but I don't think this is a permanent solution as we (hopefully) increase in size.

[JasonMckerra]

I call the amendment to a vote. Members have 48 hours to either APPROVE or DECLINE this amendment.
