RZ3 - The Quashing Minority Decisions Act Published in Clark #1
Rejected by the ZIU
WHEREAS, some months ago, a very well known former Talossan was blocked from receiving a citizenship petition; and
WHEREAS, that block was entirely lawful; and
WHEREAS, nevertheless, a healthy discussion arose about the state of the current law, which allows as little as 1/3 of either House to unilaterally block a petition; and
WHEREAS, there was broad agreement that the current law was a bug rather than a feature; and
WHEREAS, obviously no proposal was later made to the Ziu to address that; so
THEREFORE Lex.E.8's first sentence, which reads:
8. At any time before a Grant of Citizenship is conferred, the Sovereign, or members representing at least one-third of the Cosâ by seats, or members representing at least one-third of the Senäts, or any single Justice of the Uppermost Cort may petition the Chancery that the said Grant of Citizenship shall not be issued until such issuance shall be ordered by an act of the Ziu. [...]
is amended to read:
8. At any time before a Grant of Citizenship is conferred, members representing at least an absolute majority of the Cosâ by seats, or members representing at least an absolute majority of the Senäts, or at least half of the sitting Justices of the Uppermost Cort may petition the Chancery that the said Grant of Citizenship shall not be issued until such issuance shall be ordered by an act of the Ziu.
