[SENATE SPEAKER]: On the matter of the constitution and exterminations, in order to avoid future disputes, I would like to make the following advance ruling:

Motions which authorise exterminations must be labelled as constitutional ammendments and will require a two-thirds majority to be passed. Even if the exterminations are one-off events, they are over-riding the constitution and this is something that should not be done lightly.

On an unrelated point, observant Senators may have noticed that we have adopted the unstated convention that drawn motions (equal votes for and against) are treated as failed motions. As with the ruling on exterminations, I mention this now to forestall possible future disputes.
