Here you go, honorable Speaker.
A MOTION
To amend the bill "UL-028 Delegacy Act (2021)"
Introduced into the Senate of the Union of Democratic States on the 6th of November, 2022, by Guess and CHeck
As follows:
NOTING the World Assembly Advisory Board (WAAB) was created primarily as a way to advise the World Assembly Delegate in the casting of their vote,
BELIEVING that it would be beneficial for the region to foster discussion about World Assembly proposals,
CONTENDING that an exclusionary body like the WAAB is not equipped to meet such a goal,
ACKNOWLEDGING that more flexible programs will provide the World Assembly Delegate with just as much, if not more, advice than the WAAB currently delivers,
BE IT ENACTED by the Senate:
Section 1: Amendments
1. Section Two and Section Three shall be struck null and void in their entirety.
2. Section One be re-written as follows:
“Section One: Definitions and Short Title

a.“The President” is the democratically elected head of the Union of Democratic States Executive Branch as certified by electoral commissioners in their duty as election officers.
b. The “World Assembly Delegate” or “Delegate” shall be defined as the lawful Delegate of the region, appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate as provided for in Article 3.13 of the Constitution.
c. The “General Assembly voting page” is the NationStates page found at ‘https://www.nationstates.net/page=ga’.
d. The “Security Council voting page” is the NationStates page found at ‘https://www.nationstates.net/page=sc’.”
