Proto: Rubicon
Enact a rule entitled "The Senate" with the following text and a
power of 2:
A Senator is any Player who has been registered continuously for
the immediately preceding thirty days. The collection of
Senators is the Senate.
Should the player's have also been active? Should only first-class players be
able to be Senators?
A Senator may call an Emergency Session with 2 Senate supporters.
An emergency session lasts for 21 days after being called.
During emergency session, any Senator declare a filibuster on
During an emergency session, any Senator MAY declare a filibuster on ?
a proposal in its voting period, with 2 support. Any senator
may end a filibuster on a proposal with 2 support. A proposal
that ends its voting period in filibuster has a quorum of
the number of eligible voters plus 1, rules to the contrary
notwithstanding.
I'm not sure increasing quorum is the appropriate measure. I think Rule 2168
would just double the voting period.
When an emergency session begins, all non-Senators' postures
become supine, and non-Senators may not flip their posture
while the session lasts.

I was trying to come up with a proto around voting limits, so adding another
type of chamber to a proposal (Ordinary, Democratic, Senate).
Then, similar to rule 2142 allow a proposal's chamber to be flipped to Senate.
Then, changing voting limits so that senators had a voting limit of one on
senate proposals, while everyone else had a limit of zero.
But I think this might be getting too complex.
