Process of Bill Creation
Final Proposal
An initial draft of a bill will be given to the Majority Leader and published in a seperate thread. The bill will be numbered and entered into a journal
The Majority Leader will, in good faith, assign each proposed bill to one or more committees that match best with its subject matter.
When two or more bills/resolutions address the same matter, only one may proceed to final consideration at a time. The order of consideration (i.e: which of the mutually exclusive bills is considered first) shall be ruled upon by the Majority Leader.
Any Comittee Chairmen can object, and final arbitration of the bill's destination will be left to the Steering Comittee if needed.

Comittee Stage
The Comittee Chairman is free to either assign the bill to a subcommittee for review or modification, or present it to the comittee as a whole.
The comittee will debate a bill until such time as the Chairman deems debate to be complete. A vote will then be held in the comittee.
If the bill is passed, those in favor must write a list of at most 10 points which explains their rationale for supporting the bill. Those against must write a list lf at most 10 points which explains their rationale for opposing the bill. Each side will recieve 12 hours worth of time from publication in order to write a response of at most 50 words to each of their opponent's points.
If the bill fails, the majority will write a brief letter of at most 100 words explaining their rationale for its removal
The subcommittee, at their own discression, is free to split a bill into multiple independent Components, or propose two variations of the same bill, if the subcommittee believes that this is the best course of action for maintaining their own civility and cohesion. The side which supports each bill and the side which oppose it shall provide the same point-response structure.
 
Floor Stage
Once a bill or bills have passed comittee, they move to a floor vote which shall take place every (x day) at (x time).
Each senator shall consider the points made, and question the comittee with all due haste such that other comittees may as well propose their legislation.
After a response to each question is answered, the senators will vote on the passage of the bill.
