Gibraltarica | Legislation: A guide for Candidates! Hi, you’ve decided to run for the Conch Kingdom legislature. What will you be doing? As the primary expert and co-author of the recent laws establishing the legislature, let me go through them! Links to laws in question: Section 1: Your duties: An Overview Your duties in the legislature will be to write laws, propose them, debate on them, and vote on them. Your first day in office will be a simple one: you will be presented with nominees for the Speaker, who will lead Congress in normal sessions, by the Speaker Pro-Tempore. You will vote on the nominees, unless there is only one, in which case he will be immediately elected. The Speaker shall then proceed to request the bringing forth of founding bills of procedure. Here is currently the only draft of a proposal, written by Free Azell and I: page=dispatch/id=1494174 Once the bill of procedure is adequately discussed and modified, it will be voted on. After that, the normal legislative session begins. Here’s some things to look out for in the first session, assuming the passage of the proposal previously mentioned. Section Two: Types of Bills Here are all the types of Bills that can be proposed by you or a resident! Section Three: How a Bill Becomes Law Bills are presented either by citizens to legislators, or by legislators themselves. As a legislator, here is what you must do when a citizen presents you a bill (even if you are that citizen!): After that, it’s out of your hands! It now goes to the Speaker. The Speaker will notify you of the bill’s order in the queue, and its new Congressional Resolution Number. This is called a “motion to present” Once the bill is next in line to be presented, and its turn comes up, the Speaker must do one of two things immediately: table the motion (delay debate on it and return to it later), or subject it to debate immediately. Debate may last up to three days. There may be a motion to amend your bill, which may be assented to either by you and the speaker, the author and the speaker, or a majority of Congress. In this case, the Speaker will change his version of the bill to reflect the amendment. Be sure if you are the amending party, you include your signature on a motion to amend. After that, your bill will have 24 hours at vote, so be sure to vote on all resolutions! You will be asked to vote via poll. If your bill passes the necessary threshold (usually a simple majority), the Speaker will declare it passed, and will send it to the Prime Minister for his approval. If the Prime Minister vetoes the bill (does not approve of it), it will return to Congress and may be overridden (passed anyways) with a two-thirds majority. If he does approve of it, your bill is a law! Section Four: Where, and when? All votes, debate, and procedure occur in #round_table in the AA discord. You will be given a calendar of days you are expected to be active in the legislature for the next month by the Speaker after his election. Expect to be voting on stuff, discussing, and debating! Section Five: What special motions can you make as legislator? You can, in addition to previously mentioned motions: Move to vote on a bill, move to debate a bill for additional time, move to adjourn Congress. The speaker must recognize these for them to pass. Section Six: What are expectations for conduct? Here is the mentioned code of conduct: If you breach this code of conduct, you may be reprimanded. Any further questions? Just ask me! A guide for all candidates for the legislature! | |
The Vidamitic Messianocracy of Liberto-Ancapistan | Gibraltarica and Free Azell would definitely be my first choices if Liberto-Ancapistan wasn't running. That guy's just on another level. | |
