Just a note that it looks like funding for postage might not be approved by the Senate, so that might significantly delay distribution of awards.  Just want to give everyone fair notice ahead of time.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on February 05, 2026, 08:10:43 AMBefore addressing the merits of the bill, I have to note that it seems to be implying that His Majesty is a "strongman."  I assume that's just inelegant phrasing, but it's probably something you want to fix.

I had the same thought when I read the bill.

I will note that I was a co-sponsor of the bill in the 44th Cosa that changed the original wording of the oath removing the words "to her sovereign king" and the word "pious" (as in pious fidelity).

I'd also like to hear how the current oath conflicts with organic rights.

Strongman...sure.

This seems broadly fine to me.
