Docket Rules Bill -

Shall: a) create a series of simple, easy to follow rules for the Legislative Docket of /pol/ Parliament, b) create a space for Works-in-Progress and Proposals that have not yet been Seconded on the Docket Page, c) outline a set of guidelines for new and otherwise unaware Members of Parliament.

For the purposes of this document, a) a "Bill Proposal" is a finished Proposal that has been Seconded, Dated and is ready to be Voted on, b) a "Work-in-Progress" or "Draft Proposal" is an unfinished Proposal, or a Proposal that does not follow the Docket rules, c) "altering" a Proposal is changing the name, title, or body of the text.

Docket Rules:
>1. Do not move, remove, alter, and/or delete any Bill Proposals, Draft Proposals, or Works-in-Progress on the Legislative Docket unless:
>>a) You are the original author of the specified Proposal;
>>b) You are a Speaker presiding over a Legislative Session in which the Proposal was handled, or working in conjunction with such a Speaker;
>>c) You are the Minister of Records, working for the Ministry of Records, or in conjunction with the Ministry of Records, and are ensuring the veracity and accuracy of the Legislative Docket.

>2. Bill Proposals, to be considered by the Speaker or Speakers must have:
>>a) been posted in the /pol/ Parliament Thread;
>>b) been Seconded by at least one Member of Parliament;
>>c) been Dated, using yyyy/mm/dd formatting, by both Proposee and Secondee

>3. Follow the provided-for Formatting.

Guidelines:

>1. Bills under the Bills header may not be subject to amendments whilst on the Floor; be sure that your bill says what you want it to say, and effects the sort of policy that you want it to effect.
>2. All bills and proposals under the Draft Proposal or Works in Progress header will not be voted on during a legislative session.
>3. All proposed legislation should be called "Bill"s; only legislation that has been made into a law and enacted may be called an Act.

Date Standardization Bill

This Act is to standardize all dates when archiving previous sessions of Parliament The dates will be formatted yyyy/mm/dd The reason for this is to eliminate confusion between Americans/Canadians and well, the rest of the world. For example, the North American format for August 9th, 2010 is 8/9/10. Meanwhile, the European format would be 09/08/10. The American would think that date was September 8th, 2010. In the Standard Format, the date would read 2010/08/09, thus eliminating any confusion between dates.

The Political Freedoms Act has been REPEALED.

Repeal Clarity Act:

What, is Parliament seriously encouraging spoiled, entitled children who need to be spoonfed now? Whatever happened to being able to find something for yourself? Whatever happened to 4chan's, /pol/'s, for the matter, disdain for stupidity and incompetence? The Constitution is L I T E R A L L Y the first link under the "Useful Pages" header on the FRONT PAGE of the Parliamentary Wikia. We shouldn't be encouraging laziness, and we shouldn't be cluttering the OP in the first place; we saw what happened the last time THAT happened.
