TITLE:        The Bill Archive Act

ORDERED:  that all of the bills ever proposed to the Parliament along with the status of each proposal will be stored in “The Bill Archive”;

STORNLAND, SENATOR
ABDOA, SENATOR
LIBERTARIAN DEMOCRACY, SENATOR

Abdoa supports this bill, though I think it would be even better if there was also a clause instituting a factbook on the WFE, updated by the MoJ, of all the passed bills, for all the members of this Union to see. Just a suggestion.

Perhaps, "ORDERED that the founder will pin a Dispatch to the WFE that mirrors the forum Bill Archive"

Better?

Better

Yes, that's great!

So, Stornland (author) and Abdoa (sponsor) support the bill. But if the President signs the Constitution Act, we will need 1 more supporter.

1) I have added my name to the end of the bill (see Drive folder) as a sponsor
2) The Constitution Act states, in Article III, Section A, Clause B, "An amendment must receive 3 Senator sponsors, including the author, in order to be considered by the Legislature."

Yes, that is exactly what I was talking about - we had the support of the author (me) and a sponsor (Abdoa) and now you are also sponsoring it. I will add all the sponsors to the bottom of this article on the Drafting Table. Thank you for your cooperation.

You are very very welcome!

So it's a constitutional amendment?

I guess...? If so, shouldn't there be a clause that actually amends the Constitution?

So it's a constitutional amendment?

Oh... Wait, should this be a constitutional amendment or just a regular bill? I need some help from the PM or from the Founder here.

In my opinion, this would suffice as an ordinary bill. It's a simple enough idea that isn't a source of controversy, so I don't believe an amendment referendum is needed.

I agree with the Founder Aralunya.

I concur as well.

I agree too. So, this is just a regular bill. Nothing special. We can debate it and propose amendments after the Freedom of Vote Act and the Creation of the Citizens' Forum are debated.
