WHEREAS the third paragraph of Section 1 of Article XV of the Organic Law reads as follows: For the purpose of this section territories shall form part of the province as they do in elections for senators. a sentence which simply befuddles any student of Talossan law, and WHEREAS at least two of the 100 finest legal minds in the Kingdom of Talossa were heard to utter the phrase "WTF" on reading this mysterious sentence, and WHEREAS Section 2 of Article XV reads as follows: The Covenants of Rights and Freedoms, being sacred and necessary to the defence of our free society, are entrenched provisions of this Organic Law. They may only be amended by a two-thirds vote of the Talossan people in a referendum, in addition to the normal amendment procedure. which makes it sound like two referenda are required to amend the Covenants, and WHEREAS two referenda would be both silly and pointless, and although we like silly, we don't like pointless, now THEREFORE the third paragraph of Article XV, Section 1 of the Organic Law is hereby removed, and FURTHERMORE Section 2 of Article XV is hereby amended to read: The Covenants of Rights and Freedoms, being sacred and necessary to the defence of our free society, are entrenched provisions of this Organic Law. They may only be amended if the referendum required by Section 1 passes with a two-thirds majority.

I'll vote for this for the simple fact that it's very pretty.

Okay. All of the cosponsors have been added, up to now.

I'm pretty sure there's a WTF amendment to the US constitution as well.

I don't think it even made sense the way it originally was. Good call for trying to fix this, Iustì.

I can't make a whole lot of sense of the original text thus find it pointeless also. I agree that silly is good and pointless is not.

Yep Eddie, silly is actually a big part of Talossa. Without it, we'd be the unspeakable... TOTALLY SERIOUS. Dear god... it gives me the shivers just thinking about it.

that leads to a conundrum; Is it ok to be seriously silly?
