Despite my doubts about this, I present this bill to the Underhusen. This mainly changes the way we write Amendments, but I decided to include general formatting stuff in here as well. Since I'm so unsure about this, I've titled this as a Draft so that y'all can point out any changes to make.
Numbering seems a bit off, title clause is missing a period and also ironically doesn't follow the formatting stated in the law.
