James O'Neill | Strangely enough, I approve of every single line that Miestra has written. =)
Originally I was not so keen on the idea of referendum, but if one is passed that would show a form of solidarity in the Republic behind the Chamber's Declaration of the Government's stance. Doing so would show that it is not just the pompous and overly busy state politicians wagging their fingers and and saying "Oh no you di'int." but that the majority of the Republic's populace believes so as well.
What we are doing is not really passing new legislation or a constitutional amendment or anything like that. What is really being done is writing down our government's thoughts on an issue and making sure that our thoughts are what the people think as well, and this is sort of situation is not specifically covered by our current laws. The Resolution track kind of covers it but it is not quite encompassing enough for our intent.
Perhaps we can create a new class of action called a Resolution of National Concensus' or something bizarre like that. Surely someone can come up with a more fitting name? This should be sent up as a Proposal for Resolution and then once that is done. Send it off for Presidential assent and then Referendumhood. It would offically binding per se, but since it would be approved by the CoD, the President, and the People going against it would not be in anyones interest and against the will of the stated will of the people.
What do you think? Am I off my Progressive rocker?
