Senate Seat Expansion Act [Withdrawn]
This bill has been proposed to add two more senate seat to the Senate.WHY: If most of the Senate voted AYE or NAY on a bill but could become postponed due to the inactivity of one senator which the extra two added could vote and make the vote requirement for amendments or laws.
BECAUSE: This is to expand the Senate and to increase the chances of a pass or reject and to eliminate postpones.
HOW: amend the constitution to 7 senators within the Senate. Make the vote requirement for a bill to 4 so for a bill to pass it needs four votes.
ALSO: if this law is voted in and becomes a official law of Lezra then the new senate seats will not be avaliable until the elections after this bill is proposed.
This will also give people more of a chance to get elected and can break electoral ties.
Better Example:
If say a bill got 4 votes but 2 were aye and 2 were nay and the other senator needed to vote in order to pass or not pass a bill was inactive or offline then this could stall bills and the voting process within the Senate.
Proposed: April,9th, 2019
Proposed By: Senator Telders
