To the Senator for Fiovâ in particular, would introducing her proposed legislation about bringing Talossa into disrepute immediately through a PD be considered Organic re. prosecuting Canun in the UC? I am not the Senator for Fiôvâ, but that is a tremendously bad idea, and I will not stand for such legislation being introduced by PD. I actually just meant to ask whether or not it would be Organic, not suggesting it was a good idea. Sorry for my bad choice of words.

Don't worry, Epic is prone to bombast, you gave him a great opportunity to enjoy one of his hobbies.
PDs aren't traditionally understood to be there for major items of legislation - even more so when this particular situation relates to the extension of the criminal code. Our constitution does not have in mind the executive declaring what is and is not to be a crime. I think such a PD would stand a very, very good chance of being found inOrganic.

Firstly, I don't have the power to issue PDs. Secondly, if Carlüs were to issue a PD, I highly doubt the King - given his vacillation on the much simpler question of pulling the knighthood - would do anything but veto it. Thirdly, as A-X, I would really have to go through the laws with a fine-tooth comb to make sure it was Organic first.

So we appear to have reached a consensus on the first point. Before discussing the second one and the third one further, assuming my fellow Senators want to do so, I would like us to vote on that.
I move that the Senäts condemns the heinous crimes perpetrated by Talossan citizen Iustì C. Canun, and hence recommends His Majesty to strip said citizen of any and all honors that have been bestowed unto him by the Crown during his presence in Talossa.

I will vote për if you use the subjunctive forms of the corresponding verbs.

(Hoping that was indeed a subjunctive. My English doesn't go that far)

Yes, the subjunctive is discernible only in the third person singular (i.e., I move that the Senäts condemn[]...), or in every person in case the verb is irregular (i.e. I ask that you be vigilant...)
I vote për on Senator da Schir’s motion.

Why yes, every Senator is a Senator until their term expires, and we will shortly know if we'll have the pleasure of having you with us for two more years in less than a week. (Likewise, any President is a President until his term expires, amirite US Senators?)

I vote in favour.
(Luc: You're right. The President is President right up until the next guy is sworn into office. In Talossa, Senate terms work the same. The Senate is ALWAYS in session.)

If this is my last vote in the Senäts let's make it a good one.
