The Speaker Selection Omnibus Amendment Act has passed the Underhusen, and is presented to the Overhusen for its consideration and approval. As this is a Constitutional Amendment, this legislation will require 3 out of 4 Peers to vote in support in order for it to pass this chamber. Also, while not necessary, it has been requested that we give the reasoning behind our vote when we vote. Here are some links you may be interested in while considering this Act:

I think it's a fair, sensible amendment. Aye.

Looks pretty good. Just please, spell "immediately" correctly. Aye.

Haha...nice catch Butters! Sadly, I don't think it's within the power of the Overhusen to correct it, since we can't amend legislation and it's already passed the Underhusen in its present form.

Looks like if this passes we'll need an immediate correction amendment act lol.

I will go ahead and vote Aye.

With that the Amendment Act has passed the Storting and will go to the Citizens of the region for referendum. This vote will be held open so that Reon can make an official vote if he wishes to.

Aye,
