SENATE BILL: Resolution calling for the eventual abolition of slavery

[Aro]

Subtle. You're very good on this, Arnelos...

Interesting thing about this bill is that technically it seems to have no legal force. The same is true of the GL bill, all it does technically is says we're not going to use him yet. I support both though .

We have the game won anyway...And if you can not legally froce him then this bill is pointless.

It's not pointless at all.

You see, a legislative "resolution" (or legislative statement of opinion) has a long-standing place in legal tradition...

It also has a long-standing place in this democracy game. There once was a time not long ago before the existence of "senate bills" when ALL polls conducted carried equal legal weight to this bill

The officers carried out those decisions not because they were FORCED to do so under threat of the immediate start of impeachment proceedings, but because they respected popular will and were willing to take it into account... though had more flexibility to incorporate it into other plans rather than be straightjacketed by it.

It was also understood that any minister who disobeyed the result of a widely passed poll would have hell to pay, even if we didn't impeach them

That is VERY True. Especially if you weren't aware of a particular Poll (or discussion) that was expressing the wishes of the Population. THis had happend to me in the first part of my CP Term and it was not very pretty.

hehe, I do remember that... yeah, you got put through the ringer

And that debacle was the centerpiece of the opposition to your candidacy for DM in the next term... which lead to yet another debable... the first tied election in Apolytonian history... which the NewCon didn't have any way to solve

We survived all of that, though
