Proposal #105: Clarification Amendment Regarding Military Senators was created in YE 34 by Hanako's Star senator, Hanako to amend the constitution after the reformation of the imperial senate to protect Star Army of Yamatai members serving as senators from being forced to vote in particular manner or be punished by their military superiors for doing. This law passed unanimously.

Though it was not mentioned in the senate discussion when the law was proposed, the only incident of such an event occurring happened in the previous iteration of the Senate was in YE 29 to the Taiie senator, Shôshô Kazuhiko Minari of the Fifth Expeditionary Fleet. Kazuhiko-Shosho was demoted to Taisa as result of her voting in favor of Proposal # 81: Repealing of Taisho Yui’s Species' Restriction Act, which directly resulted in her resignation as both a Fifth Expeditionary Fleet officer and her seat as the senator of Taiie.

To clarify the constitution and provide an explicit check of a potential abuse of power.

Add language to the constitution that says, “Military and senate duties are mutually exclusive: Because a senator's purpose is represent their constituency, while members of the Star Army of Yamatai may serve as senators, those senators may not be ordered to vote in a certain manner and may not be punished by the military for voting on laws.”

Bordolf, Gunther listened to the proposal and the current round of votes.

“I find myself conflicted by this proposal. I can see the desire behind it. But I do not believe that this esteemed organization has the authority to create laws that should be Military Regulations.

I suggest that we split the proposal.

'It shall be a criminal act to influence the vote of a Senator, through intimidation, threats.”

As for the last part, I would respectfully suggest that Ketsurui Hanako make a suggestion to the Taisho to have that entered into the Regulations.“

To: Imperial Senate From: Taisho Ketsurui Yui

It should be fine. I can handle the military side of this. It's not the military's place to control the senate any more than it's the senate's place to try to control the military.
