<![CDATA[Amendment to the Constitution]]>Section III. Voting in the European Council

IV. Councillors only then vote on the proposal for 72 hours. The proposal is to be voted on in its whole form and may not be changed during the voting phase. Each vote must be announced in public and is permanent once cast. Proposals requiring a simple majority to pass must garner 55% approval of those present. Proposals requiring a super-majority to pass must garner 75% approval of those present. Whenever a motion to repeal EU Council legislation is presented and fails to pass, a repeal on the same legislation shall not be attempted again until no less than 90 days has passed afterwards.

My fellow councilors, through this year, we have seen attempts to repeal the same type of legislation multiple times. While this Council dearly welcomes the experience for change. However, when that change has been attempted mulitple times, it becomes a waste of time and energy for the Council. For that reason, the past few weeks, I have been working to find the best words that will ensure that there is a period of time for the Council in terms of repeals on the same exact legislation. I would also, like to state to the Council on the record that this is, like I said, is something that I have been working on such (although, it does not look it) a while and is not made as retaliation on anyone in the Council that is making any current attempts or motions to repeal legislation. Originally I was going to wait for another month where it might be more appropriate but I felt that there might not be a time like that coming if we follow how this year itself has been going.

This would accomplishing the intent of the act, as well as allow the council flexibility to declare various different motions to be unbecoming of the Council's time if the evidence is ample. Might be nice as well to regulate the amount of proposals outside emergency motions that the council can consider at once to ensure they all get the treatment they deserve.

In short, I do not believe this to be the proper route to deal with the repeat repeal issues, and would prefer simply defining council procedures more.
