No offense Oscar, but I completely disagree with your proposal.
If a piece of legislation is submitted then declined, the author (or other
supporters) of the legislation should be allowed to resubmit an improved
version of their legislation 2 YEARS later (the next convention).
There are various factors that can come into play when legislation is being
rejected. Brothers should be allowed to resubmit revised versions if they so
choose.

Subj: [APO-L] Shorten Legislative Session
From: jmarmon@TEC1.APG.ARMY.MIL (Jason"Oscar"Marmon)
After attending three National Convention and serving as delegate
and on the Chapter Ops Committee (Toast Song, Rituals, All-Male, you name
it), I have come up with the following proposal:
Any piece of legislation proposed that is voted down by the
legislative assembly shall be ineligible for consideration in following
National Convention, unless proposed by the National Executive Board.
Rationale:
{has not been written yet}
Please realize that the wording of the above legislation can be
changed (I wrote it at 5:15 AM). And because of its wide reaching
implication, I thought it would be better to see what the APO-L world
thought of it first. After all, if I propose it, and it stands no chance
of passing, it sort of defeats the purpose of its intent by wasting more
time at the convention.
I am also interested, if you think the above is a good idea, on
what you think the rationale should be as I have not written it yet.
