The results on the first three ballot issues are as follows:
The German Sovereignty Act
fails in both houses, 95 votes to 231 and 30 votes to 66.
The Fairness in Government Act
passes the Assembly, 226 to 212, but
fails in the Conclave, 21 votes to 53. ((I'm genuinely surprised this one made it through the Assembly but failed in the Conclave. I assumed it would pass the Conclave, but Latin Kaiser abstained and TJDS voted against, which killed it.))
The Italian Preservation Act
fails in both houses, 227 to 260 and 41 to 55.
Herr Fritz von Hohenzollern has informed the court he is
abstaining on the issue of safety standards. In order to properly tabulate votes, however, we need votes from the DSU and Conservatives in the Conclave ((
@TJDS,
@LatinKaiser)).
The Court has made a temporary ruling, that social or political reforms do not require the President's signature, should the bill for new safety standards pass the Reichstag. However, the Reichstag may choose to pass legislation in 1890 to settle the issue more firmly, if they wish.
Finally, the Commander of the Gendarmerie ((
@Qwerty7)) is reminded that as soon as this session of the Reichstag closes, he will lose his second year to interrogate suspects. ((Remember, if you're interrogating someone, just PM me that you're doing so, and whom you are interrogating. Whether or not you wish to share the transcripts is up to you.)) If Commander Kant, or his successor, does not make an arrest in the 1891 session, the investigation will be terminated, according to German law.
