3 - Amendment
Section 3 of the constitution will be amended from:
Any person may submit a petition on the forums to recall a Representative. Should at least 20 other unique people sign the petition, a referendum shall be held no more than 24 hours later. The referendum shall last for 48 hours. The live results of such an election shall not be made public and the results shall only be disclosed once polling has concluded. To determine the outcome of the referendum, the official in question is removed from office if the percentage of nays is less than the percentage that represents their seat in Congress. For example, if there are 4 seats in the House, each seat represents 25% and therefore fewer than 25% of responses would need to be nay for the official to be removed.

A recall petition to remove a Representative for not meeting the requirements to run, after reaching 15 signatures, will have the Supreme Court decide whether or not the Representative meets the requirements. There must be at least 2 or more justices participating in this decision. If the Supreme Court decides that the Representative does not meet the requirements, they will automatically be removed from their position, but if the Supreme Court decides they do meet the requirements, the recall petition will go to a referendum and follow the normal process for any recalls outlined above.

Section 4 of the constitution will be amended from:
