This bill shall be entitiled: Senator Term Length This bill, if passed shall be considered AWP Law. 1. The term of a succesfully elected Senator shall be limited to no more than 4 calendar months. 2. All elections for a new Senator shall be completed before the end of the sitting senators term is to expire, with voting to end on exactly 4 months of service in the senate or before that date. The new Senator will take power from the old senator after his last day which shall be exactly 4 calendar months from being first elected, or if the senate votes that the new senator(s) take power immediately. The winner of the senate elections will retain the title "Senator-Elect" until he takes office and will have no voting privilages in the senate. 3. A sitting member of the senate may continue to have membership in the senate, however, his voting powers will be suspended if the vote for a new senator is taking longer than the 4 calendar months to complete, or there is a run-off election. 4. If a sitting memeber of the senate is found guilty by trial according to AWP laws to have intentionally delayed the election, causing there to be no senate voting representation in his district and the results to be delayed beyond the 4 month term, he shall be suspended from running as a senate election in his district for 5 months. The crime shall be charged as "Electoral Fraud". 5. If a sitting memeber of the senate is found guilty of "Electoral Fraud" twice, he is permanently expelled from running for a senator position in the district he committed the crime.

I would like to merge these into one article... 3. A sitting member of the senate may continue to have membership in the senate, however, his voting powers will be suspended if the vote for a new senator is taking longer than the 4 calendar months to complete, or there is a run-off election. I would also like to change the term Election Fraud to 'Electoral Fraud'. And I also feel that anyone who commits this twice should be permanently expelled from running for Senator full stop rather than just in their district. We should probably write some legislation soon regarding the Judicial process in the region! |

I would like to delay putting it up to vote for a bit. The name is missleading, Tearm limitation has nothing to do with what this proposal is actually about. term Limitation, the name is how many times a senator can be elected in a row, I have been twice, so far the longest, not that long. Like in the united states, a US president can only be 2 times ever, in russia only 2 times in a row, in Mexico Once ever. those are term limitation, you are actually refearing to Term Length and Election practice, not limitation. I also think we should divide this into two diffrent proposals one for tearm length then another to iron out electoral processes. and would like it if you talked these things in ipp first ![]() So i say delay untill more people can debate, the weekend is a bad time for many to be on |

right now its a proposal, and if there is more debate to come, ofcourse, I don't want to push this to a vote. I'd have posted this in the IPP, but there's never really any activity in that forum right now, but a lot of attention comes here. As for the name that's easy enough to change. I would agree with you about splitting this into 2 bills, but everything in this bill is completely relevent to what the core of the bill is. So you would never really see the violations mentioned in the bill applied to another situation. I kind of had my own beefs with the name, and never liked it, but needed to put something up there. Senator Term Length would be a more ideal name. |
