BILL
To


Amend the Constitution to lower the judiciary play time requirement.​

The people of Democracy Craft, through their elected Representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:

1 - Short Title and Enactment
(1) This Act may be cited as the ' XL Equal Judge Requirements'
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.
(3) The Act has been co-sponsored by: Rep. Mhadsher101, President of Senate. Derpy_Bird
(4) This Act was authored by xlayzur, tagline: XL

2 - Reasons
(1) Previous requirements were quite high and irrational compared to the other requirements for office. For a citizen to run in the House of Representatives it requires 24 hours of playtime and 12 hours of playtime within the last 30 days. For a citizen to run in the Senate it requires 72 hours of playtime and 12 hours of playtime within the last 30 days. The only realistic position to have such a high playtime requirement is the President of the Commonwealth as this position requires a lot of knowledge and devotion to the community and server.

(2) It's already an expectation for Judges to be knowledgeable of the legal system in the Commonwealth, though it is the Senate's responsibility to determine if said judge being appointed meets the requirements. The argument can be made that Judges only need to perform on forums and discord but it is important for them to still be active members of the community in such a position.

3 - Amend
