Any person found to be impersonating an official of the Natopian government shall be considered guilty of treason. Any actions performed by the imposter will be immediatly voided by the Executive Branch. The imposter is to be punished to the fullest extent of the law, as deemed appropriate by a sentencing jury. The government official who was impersonated will not be held responsible but must cooperate with officials if an investigation is launched.

the bill is on the floor. will the sponsor speak for it?
yes he will.....
"after witnessing the impersonation of HE Jennifer C., First Lady of Natopia and Senator, it seems apparent that if this were to happen again we need to have a law in place to punish such actions. the impersonator willfully cast a vote in the Senate in the name of Her Excellency. such actions, left unchecked, could wreck havoc, especially in the unique environment of our government... the internet. vote yes, to protect your identity!!"
is there a speaker against this bill?
if not is there a motion to begin voting?

Yes, I want to speak out against this bill.
"This violates our free-speech!"
Now that I'm done being sarcastic, I motion for a vote.

Isn't it like 3 or 4 votes? Majority or something like that. I think since there's maybe 6 or 7 senators, we need 4 votes?
