Tillis said that the resolution would make it possible for other proposed constitutional amendments to come up this week, but not likely. “I don’t see how we can do it,” Tillis said.
Another amendment that has a lot of backing among the GOP majority is a proposal that would establish a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
Tillis implied that as a practical matter, it would be difficult for a same-sex marriage ban constitutional amendment to come up this week. That’s because some legislators have commitments for later in the week or weekend and wouldn’t be available to vote on the House or Senate floor.
I don’t trust this jerk, as far as I could throw him. I believe this amendment would be sneak in, so they don’t have to heard the LGBT community till after the fact. To avoid the two Marriage Rally Plan for August and September.
Constitutional amendments require a three-fifths vote of the members of both chambers in order to go to the voters for ratification. That means a proposed constitutional amendment must get 72 of the 120 members of the House and 30 members of the 50 senators.
