50RZ01 - The Ham Sandwich Amendment

Clarked in the 1st Clark (February 2017) of the 50th Ziu
Clark Entry ID: 677
Bill ID: 1207

WHEREAS , fairly recently, I expressed my opinion to some people that Talossan voters would always vote to approve whatever referendum is sent their way by the Ziu, and

WHEREAS, in my opinion, this seemingly automatic approval doesn't necessarily reflect the actual beliefs of citizens regarding a referendum, and

WHEREAS , I boldly claimed that, if sent to the people in a referendum, they would vote in favor of a ham sandwich, and

WHEREAS , the ham sandwich idea is coined from the commonly held belief that a prosecutor could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, in case one was unaware, and

WHEREAS , I said that I'd offer such an amendment to prove my point, and

WHEREAS , here it is, NOW

THEREFORE,** Should it be proposed by a two-thirds majority of the Cosa, a majority of the Senats, and thereafter approved by a majority of voters participating in a referendum on the question of the amendment,

OrgLaw Article II shall be amended to create a new Section 11, which shall read as follows:
The National Sandwich of Talossa shall forever be 'n sä́ndwitsch da stinc, or a ham sandwich.
