You are mistaken as to how the Bleach rule works. It does not mean any
player can change the spacing by way of cleaning, it means that I can
format rules using whatever spacing I want, as long as I respect
paragraph breaks.
If the Bleach rule did work that way, then every rule would be wrapped
several different ways because it seems everyone submits proposals using
different wrapping standards. All I generally do is wrap the ruleset to
72 characters.
This mistake is understandable, however. For future reference, what you
can do instead of attempt a cleaning is inform me that I have messed up
the spacing somewhere and I will remedy it in the next draft.

I intend, without objection, to clean rule 2597 (“Line-item Veto”) to have the
following formatting:
-----
The Comptrollor is an imposed office. When the office is vacant,
the ADoP CAN, by announcement, set the Comptrollor to a player
chosen at random from the set of current Officers, excepting any
player who was most recently the Comptrollor. The ADoP SHALL do
so in a timely fashion after the office becomes vacant.
When the Comptrollor office has been held for the same player for
30 days, it becomes vacant.
A Notice of Veto is a body of text, published by the Comptrollor,
clearly, directly, and without obfuscation labelled within the
publishing message as being a Notice of Veto.
When a Comptrollor publishes a Notice of Veto, the office of
Comptrollor becomes vacant.
If the text of a Notice of Veto clearly indicates certain
provisions within specified Proposals as being vetoed, and the
voting period for a decision to adopt the proposal is ongoing
when the Notice is published, then the provisions are vetoed. For
the purposes of this Rule, each individual change specified
within a proposal's text is a "provision".
Vetoed provisions in a proposal are prohibited from being applied
when the proposal takes effect (that is, that part of the
proposal's effect CANNOT be applied).
-----
This change treats each line in the current rule as a paragraph, and makes no
other changes. I believe it respects rules 2221 (“Cleanliness”) and 2429
(“Bleach”).
