 Well, it's
official! America's public will go to the polls to determine whether
non-biological beings will receive citizenship and voting rights.
Today, the United States Senate, in a close 55-44 vote, joined their
House brethren and approved passage the Mann Act II. Only one senator,
the ailing senior legislator from Virginia, Emily Cortez, abstained.
She is still recovering at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center from
a massive stroke, and her office issued her sincere regrets regarding
her absence from the historic final debate.
White House Press Secretary, Olivia Dawne, stated that President Delilah
Capshaw is planning to sign the act into law before the end of the week.
"The President is not about to deny the people the right to decide
who should and can be an American," she stated, only five minutes
after deflecting accusations that the executive branch had lobbied against
the senate bill.
When signed, the Mann Act II becomes law. All 50 states and the District
of Columbia will then conduct a binding referendum on July 20th, 2142,
to determine whether their legislatures must adopt the Sentient Being
Voting Rights Amendment, which reads:
Amendment XLVIII
Sentient Being Voting Rights
|
All sentient beings created or naturalized in the United States,
and subject to jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United
States and of the State wherein they reside.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be
denied or abridged by the United States or by any State or by
any territory subject to jurisdiction thereof on account of biological
status.
Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate
legislation.
|
Should two thirds of the 51 jurisdictions adopt the measure,
it would become the 48th Amendment to the Constitution of the United
States of America. It would be only the ninth amendment since the Twenty-First
Century Constitutional Convention.
