The binding part may be misleading as while I will abide by the decision of the citizens in any section of the Code of Laws that I write I can not promise that others will do the same. What should be required to amend the Code of Laws? This is a multiple choice poll, please select a percentage number of the people that must vote yes, number of hours the poll should stay open, and number of consecutive polls required to ratify the a change.
50% 1/2
60% 3/5
67% 2/3
70% 7/10
75% 3/4
24 hours
48 hours
72 hours
96 hours
120 hours
1 poll
2 polls
3 polls

Due to my error, Please vote of the percentages of Yea votes HERE (http://http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=147598).

Why would we need more than 1 poll to get something done? anymore than 1 is bureacratic (sp) and a waste of time.

I like my idea, the 2/3 majority vote and then the legislator picks a president ellect who continues for the remainder of the term. THe President must take office a week after the empeacment. If it is a 72 hour poll that makes 10 days of the demogame gone.

I wouldn't know I just try to include enough options to satisfy most everyone.

I have to make up my mind about this and will wait for further discussion and input from my fellow citizens...

The Constitution we're all agreeing to so far (except for Akots's misclick) says that no provision of law may require a more stringent pass criteria than an amendment to the Constitution.

Therefore the only options that are valid are 50% and 60%. I recommend 3 days (72 hours) to allow for people to be gone for a couple of days and still be able to vote, and for time zones. It doesn't seem wise to have more than one poll -- unless it gets voted down and the supporters want to modify it and vote again.

I think the 72 hour and and one poll options are the way to go, but I also think that so long as the Code of Laws contains the structure governing the executive and legislative, we should have it more resistant to change - 60% approval seems the best (and legal) threshold.
