Draft Proposal Amendment

 

Preamble: To protect Citizens from government overreach and misrepresentation due to the unconstitutional creation of the House of Representatives and Senate Rules process. Transparency is long overdue, so citizens have the ultimate oversight of all branches of government. It is time for an “Anti-Omnibus, One Bill, One Law - Amendment”.

 

The current procedures allow for unconstitutional committees and rules that exclude, elected Congressmen and Senators, states, and Citizens from representation.

These rules exclude transparency by unconstitutional private meetings. All Citizens have the right to view these meetings as these meetings are public property; these meetings must be disbanded or not allowed, except for National Security.

The current rules allow for omnibus laws, which are essentially bribery, favors, and Qui-Pro-Quo between congressional members and third-party non-elected special interest groups. The current omnibus procedures create unethical, costly, and unnecessary expenses for Citizens.

Furthermore, no single person, group, or political parties, have special rights outside of the Constitution.  The Federal Government is the property of the Citizens.

 

So that all states and citizens have equal opportunity to present Bills the following Amendment will be adopted.

 

1. One Bill, One Law; all laws presented shall be in their completed form with no exceptions. It will forever be forbidden that a law will be passed that needs further definition, of additional rules and regulations.

2. All Bills having 15 House of Representatives sponsors and 10 Senators sponsors, or 18 State Legislature sponsors will be brought to the floor for vote on the order they are received.

3. All Bills will be presented for 10 business days to review, then debated in which all congressmen will have equal time. The debate will last no longer 5-12 hour business days. All congressional members must submit in writing the subject and details of their debate 24 hours in advance of debate for public review. If no debate brief is not supplied Congressional members will not be able to join in the debate. If amendments are offered, they must be adapted by 2/3 vote.

4. After debate the Bill will automatically go for an up or down vote.

5. If passed the Bill automatically proceeds to the Senate for debate in which all Senators will have equal time to debate, if amendments are offered, they must be adapted by 2/3 vote. The debate will last no longer 5-12 hour business days. All Senators must submit in writing the subject and details of their debate 24 hours in advance of the debate for public review. If no debate brief is not supplied Senators will not be able to join in the debate. If the Bill is not passed it is dead and cannot be presented again until the next annual session.

6. After debate the Bill will automatically go for an up or down vote.

7. If the Bill is not amended it goes to an up or down vote if approved the Bill is passed.

8. If the Bill is amended by the Senate, the Bill goes back to the House for an up or down vote. If Bill is rejected it is dead and cannot be presented again until the next annual session.

9. If the Bill is passed it goes to the President for signing. 

10. Upon passing the Federal government the Bill goes to the states and has 30 days for simple majority ratification. If any states abstain a simple majority of the remaining states will be needed to pass. If a tie is reached, the President of the United States will break the tie.

11. In the case of a National Emergency Bill, the Bill will be prioritized by House with a floor vote for immediate consideration.
