Set a fraction. Say the quorum for a valid vote is 1/2 or 2/3. 3/4 if you want to go extreme, but I wouldn't recommend it. Also specify a time period for voting to continue after the necessary number of votes have been gathered (I suggest 5-24 hours, your choice) so that we don't cut off the rest of the congress by default once just enough people have voted.
Also, from the legislation committee:
"5. To prevent monopoly of the committee (or ANY committee, for that matter), there can be only a maximum of TWO members from a specific party, unless that party has a Congressional Majority of at least 5 (then they can have three members)"
Change that majority rule to a fraction too. If we get a lot of members in the future, a majority of five may not seem so big anymore. Also, you have two rule #5s.

NOTE: Be sure to add "rounded up" or something to that effect to each fraction so that we're totally clear on the number of Congresspeople needed (since the fraction won't always be a whole number). |
Good suggestions. Please, PM me rules from your ideas (listed above) (add your ideas in to the proper places and PM). I will approve them and add them in. 
--EDIT--
PS: How's that for power?

Actually, don't bother with the Legislation Committee rules ideas. That's been taken care of

Righto. Rules for the main page have been PMed. Also note, you fixed the LC rules on the last post, but you need to copy the fix onto the first post still.

We are almost to the point, ladies and gentilemen, where rules and things can only be changed or added with Congress approval, so if you have anything you want to comment on, etc, please do so BY SATURDAY!
