I found in CFJ 3788 [0] that the effects of a similar RWO were as
intended. I believe very similar reasoning would to this case. Even if
that judgment was platonically wrong (I'm still not quite sure) and this
wouldn't work, this RWO would still establish for the next
self-ratifying Treasuror's report, assuming that the difference in one
legislative card doesn't matter until then (which it might, but seems
somewhat unlikely).
