Article VI. Constituational Amendments
Any Citizen may table a bill for discussion by contacting a member of the Triumvirate. This citizen will remain the sole proposer for this bill. Bills can take two forms:

    * Amendments - A proposal to alter the text of the Constitution. Amendments can alter or remove existing text and add entirely new text.
    * Decisions - A proposal for the creation of an official Decision of the Senate on any topic relevant to the functioning of the community. Such a decision is not binding, but the Triumvirate should ensure (to the best of their ability) that the decision is promptly implemented or give an official reason for not having implemented all or part of it.

(1)Each version of the bill requires named support from three Citizens. The bill will be voted on by the Senate, (2)a member proposing the bill may not vote. If any bill fails a vote, no re-vote on a substantially similar bill will be permitted within one month.

(1) and (2) do not apply if the bill was originally proposed by a member of the Triumvirate.

Where a Decision requires the Senate to choose between multiple options, two polls shall be run concurrently. The first poll shall be as a normal decision, the second poll shall outline the various options to choose from if the decision passes. Whichever option receives the plurality of votes shall be implemented, but only if the Decision also passes in the usual manner.
