i motion to amend the bill to look like this:
16. The Royal Frenzy shall operate under these Procedures: 16.2 Any Noble may propose a Bill onto the floor of the Royal Frenzy at any time. That Bill will enter into Debate instantaneously. 16.3 Any Noble may comment on the Bill while it is in Debate. Debate ends when a Noble motions for a Vote and it is seconded by a fellow Noble. Nobles must vote either NO or YES. 16.4 Only one Bill on the floor may be in a regular Vote at a time. Bills will be added to the Royal Code, and number accordingly, based on the order in which they are passed by the Royal Frenzy. 16.5 While in Debate, a Bill may be amended by a motion to Amend. Any Noble may motion to Amend. The amendment will be rendered with the seconding of a fellow Noble. If there is any dissent among the Nobles, an Amending Vote will begin, wherein all Nobles must vote to approve the amendment. 16.6 A Noble may amend any Bill he or she has proposed to the floor that is in Debate. An original proposer (the sponsor) may accept amendment proposals from other Nobles and update the Bill accordingly. This is a friendly amendment. Once a Vote begins, Amending or Regular in nature, the sponsor may not exercise the powers in this clause. 16.7 Amending Votes and regular Votes will be rendered complete when Quorum has been reached. Quorum will be four Nobles. Before quroum has been reached while in the Voting Period, the Prime Minister may freeze the voting period for up to 72 hours. The bill will go back to debate period. When voting is unfrozen, votes may be recast.

"votes MAY be recast" after a vote in unfrozen. so... those nobles' silence can be taken as assent for the new version
