I'd like the docket to be more a collaboration than a dictation by myself. So I'll be posting my dockets here for discussion. Given that I need to have the first docket out tomorrow, this won't be as collaborative, but I'm open to commentary. I'm generally planning to do four bills at a time.
Docket
Kentucky Statehood Act [to please the South]
National Bank System Act [to please the North]
Apportionment Act [essential bill]
Judiciary Act [essential bill]

The first docket is now up and going.
The Staff Act, Naturalization Act, and Standards Act should all go on the next docket in my view, all are essential bills to government function. But that's only 3 bills. Are there any recommendations for a fourth bill?

Aww. The flag act designates a design that is so boring...

It's just the design that we already agreed upon last Congress. I'd much preferred something alternative, but that's sadly what's already law. I'm just taking the picture, and making it text (so that stars can be added for each state).

Alright. I did the Appropriations Act, Revenue Act, Naturalization Act, and Staff Act for the second docket.
There'll likely only be one more full docket. I'm definitely placing the Standards Act on it, and then I'm thinking the Indian Act, and ideally a Fugitive Slave Act if Beaumont will offer one. That's all I've got. Open to suggestions for the fourth bill.

Slave Trade Act? That could possibly divide the already shaky New Democracy-Republican coalition.

My fear is that by docketing it, we will be implicitly endorsing it, which will be a giant "screw you" to the South.
Who authored it? Maybe we could get the author to move for debate on it; then we can watch as the D-Rs divide.

I authored it and will move for debate on the legislation, if you want me to.

Motions sub forum of debate. Just create a thread, moving to suspend the rules and debate your bill.
