Article 2, Section B, Clause 1
From:
From:
To:A standard bill shall be on the voting floor for four (4) days. The Praetor may exte]nd a standard bill to seven (7) days if and only if he or she believes that nobles with an active interest in it have not gotten a chance to vote, and that these nobles could significantly impact the outcome. He or she may do this at any point within seven days of the vote having been brought to the floor. When a bill has exhausted its respective time limit, the Pr�tor shall declare the vote passed or failed based upon the votes it has received, close it, and archive it. If the Praetor fails to do so, the vote is nevertheless considered unofficially closed.
Reason: Clarification, shortening of duration, tightening of extension.Any bill shall remain before the Landsraad for four (4) days. The Praetor may extend a standard bill to six (6) days if and only if he or she believes that nobles with an active interest in it have not gotten a chance to vote, and that these nobles could significantly impact the outcome. He or she may do this at any point within the initial four days days of the vote having been brought to the floor. When a bill has exhausted its respective time limit, the Praetor shall declare the vote passed or failed based upon the votes it has received, close it, and archive it. If the Praetor fails to do so, the vote is nevertheless considered unofficially closed.
