Treaties
The Senate is required to submit all treaties to the Supreme Court for a check of constitutionality before a vote.
The Senate shall vote for or against treaties. A majority vote shall be by 2/3 of those Senators present. Any members not present will be considered to have voted Yes but Not Present and that vote shall not be counted in the majority vote.
The Senate is admonished that all treaties should be of clear benefit to the United States. The benefit to the United States must be clearly demonstrated in the Treaty. Any Citizen has standing to challenge a treaty in a court of law.
No treaties promising military support to another country are allowed except during times of War. Immediately on cessation of warfare, that Treaty is abrogated.
No treaties favoring one business over another are allowed. We are attempting to eliminate crony capitalism whereby one business gives money to government persons in return for preferential treatment. Nor is the government allowed to force a company to do their bidding in pursuit of diplomacy or for some other reason.
Continuation in Office
There must be an annual audit of the Senators’ financial accounts and the audits must be placed in the public record.
No Senator may hire any family member.
No Senator may recommend any family member for any job in any government.
No Senator may have business dealings with any business doing business with the government.
No Senator may have business dealings with any family member.
No Senator shall have more than three assistants and more than two offices.
A Senator shall be subject to a recall at the will of the voters in his district providing that the recall petition is legally signed by 10% of the Citizens in that district. The petition must be submitted within three months after the petition is opened. The certification or non-certification of the petition will occur one month after the petition is submitted. The State legislature shall set the date of the recall election to be within one month of the certification of the recall. Any subsequent election to fill that seat in the event the recall succeeds will be held within one month of the recall vote. Each State will make their own laws further defining these events.
