Proposed change to Article II, Section 3:
Change veto override from 83% to 66%
Amendment 9 - James K Polk Tuesday.
James K Polk Tuesday (also referred to as JKPT) will be performed during every live show that occurs on Tuesday. The following conditions shall and must be met to constitute a valid JKPT segment.
Section A: The James K Polk sounder and graphic used in previous JKPT segments shall be played at the beginning and end of each and every JKPT segment from here forth.
Section B: A fact relating to James K Polk, the 11th President of the United States of America, shall be submitted by a person. This person could be an employee or intern of Mercury Radio Arts, from the Feed, a caller, or anyone else.
Section C: This fact shall be read on the air at a volume which is consistent with the volume of which the show is normally heard, read at a speed which is consistent with how fast Pat and Stu (and average people) normally talk, and posted on The Feed. The fact must be posted on The Feed and started to be read before 12:50pm eastern or 10 minutes before the end of that day's 4th Hour.
Section D: A fact shall not be given more than once within 6 months of having been read. Any and all facts given before the ratification of this Constitution shall not be restricted by this section.
Section E: Show, as mentioned in the preamble of this amendment refers to the show this Constitution governs.
Section F: Any violations of this Amendment will revoke any and all powers given to Pat Gray and Stu Burguiere in any and all parts of this Constitution. These revoked powers shall then be rendered to the members of The Feed effective immediately until such time a new Constitution is ratified, or power is delegated by members of The Feed. This potentially means in part Pat and Stu will no longer be given the satisfaction of preventing Jeffy from eating, seeing Jeffy dance, or having Sarah say "doodie".
