17RC16 - The Line Item Veto Override Act

King Robert has finally used his line item veto! This was after the Cosa practically demand that he do so, in order to remove offensive language binding Talossans to a mythical "Berber heritage" in the recently-passed LC6.12.93, "The Donatüs Act". The original language read as followe: "This also commemorates Donatus, an African religious leader of the 4th Century--and one of our ancient Berber ancestors.... Voting for this legislation does not necessarily commit any Member of the Cosa to acceptance of his Berber heritage. ' Through skilful, Thompsonesque use of the veto pen, King Robert I has deleted some words and letters to make the taxt read as follows: 'This also commemorates Donatus, an African religious leader of the 4th Century--an ancient Berber. Voting for this legislation does not commit any Member of the Cosa to a Berber heritage. " The present bill asks you if you want to restore the original pro-Berber text; if you want to restore the original, longer version, vote per (to override the line item veto); if you want to keep the shorter, anti-Berber version, vote contra. Remember: PER is PRO-BERBER, CONTRA is ANTI-BERBER.
