HOW THIS WORKS:
Numerous bills and issues shall be set on the 'table' for senators to vote on. Members have to be senators to
WHO CAN VOTE:
Only Elected Senators, and Chairmen who are officially of that rank in the Congress group.
WHEN THEY CAN VOTE:
24 Hours from when this is posted, Senators can vote for the issues and post opinions.
HOW THEY VOTE:
Each law on the 'table' will be numbered. A Senator has the right to vote 'Yes' 'No' or 'Abstain' (Abstain is where you don't vote at all on the issue). For example, On the first law I might write '1.) Yes.' Senators and Members may post opinions also about the laws on the table. Laws up for 'EDIT' is not to be voted on, but is to be suggested on. For example: "1.) I suggest that 'Insert Quote Here' should be changed to 'Insert Here'"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BILLS/LAWS ON THE TABLE:
1.) Seating Organizational Act (Amendment). Up for VOTE.
Section One. Seating and Organization.
SubSection One. For every 200 members, there will be one seat for the Senate.
Subsection Two. Seats will be numbered, Seat 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and so on. NOTE: No seat holds more power than another.
Subsection Three. During an election, a person running must specify which seat he or she will be running for.
Subsection Four. Incumbents of each seat do not have to announce they are running for them, and they will automatically be put up for Re-election, unless they choose not to run for re-election
Subsection Five. No member may run for more than one seat at a time.
Subsection Six. In the event more than three people are running for one Seat, and other Seats no one is running for, then the Chairman or Co-Chairman will ask some of those running to pick a new seat to run for.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How to get a Law on the 'table':
PM a Chairman to get a law that you have written on the 'Table'. If the Chairman decides not to put it on the 'table', a petition of 10 'signatures' of RDA members may overrule it, and cause the law to go on the 'table'.

1.) No. Too complicated, and many people could get re-elected without even getting a vote.

1.) Yes} It used to be only one vote to get into the Senate, now it makes it harder. And Subsection Six protects against easily getting re-elected.

1.) No. I like how it will stop people from needing only one vote to become a senator, but it may be too complicated for some people.

Also, if there is not enough people running for senator, some people running fro re-election may not even need any votes to get their seat back.

But that may be good, Dogdan. That means our seats will still be filled.

If not enough people were running, then we would have empty seats. This bill helps. Also, it makes it harder to get into the Senate, like you said you wanted.

And I disagree with saying that this is "too complicated". It is in fact very easy, members can choose to participate in any Seat election they want, and all the Chairman has to do is make a forum, and post who is running for which Seat in a forum post. I already have thought of the whole system and the template that the Chairman will use. It is simple, but hard in the sense of entering the Senate.

1) No. I like everything except making people automatically rerun unless they say they don't want to. Usually if someone is too inactive to say they want to run again when it's time, they're going to be too inactive to be a good senator. This could cause some popular people to get elected a couple times after they've quit or gone inactive.

Actually, I will vote yes on this because there's enough stuff I do agree with, and I'll just try to change the part I don't later.

One of the problems is that it's unfair. Some seats are harder than others. Not even the CHAIRMEN know who's running for which seat, and Dark is also assuming immediately that there is going to be exactly 22 ppl running.
This bill is not necessary, its unfair, it won't help, and won't work.

I'm not assuming any number of people will run for the Senate. Also, the only way a Seat would be "harder to get", is if the current Incumbent is really good at campaigning. And Corridon, I don't understand what you mean by "Not even the CHAIRMEN know who's running for which seat." Which makes no sense, because the Chairmen will know who's running for which Seat when elections come around. This bill helps those who forget elections are coming around, and forget to announce their re-election. This bill also makes it harder to get into the Senate, and we don't want to make it easy. Because what if a socialist runs, in our current system, you just need one vote and you become a Senator, there are over 2,000 members and whoever is running just needs one person to vote for him/her. I don't understand what you mean by "unfair". I see nothing "unfair" about it. And again, there is only one way another Seat would be harder to obtain than another, that is if the Incumbent is good at campaigning. I rest my case.
