(Another note: If you intend to argue for the latter interpretation, and have some way to prevent the referendum from being resolved in the next four days, you should table your Emergency Regulation intent now, so that it can be resolved shortly after making PM vacant. There's nothing preventing you from tabling an action that the rules don't allow you to perform *now*; you just can't resolve it until they do.) ~qenya
