B.1(d). Referendum on the Question

Each recommendation must be submitted to a binding national referendum held during the next regularly scheduled federal election. If three-fifths of the voters confirm a recommendation, it is adopted. Otherwise, it is not. The results of the referendum shall be binding. The outcome of the vote shall close the Question until the next scheduled twenty-year review or until the People initiate a new review through lawful procedures.

Whenever a Demi-Congress convenes and offers recommendations, each recommendation is voted on separately in the next federal election. The citizens vote, and if sixty percent of voters vote to adopt it, the recommendation passes and becomes law. If they don’t vote to adopt it, then the recommendation doesn’t pass. It’s that simple. Regardless of the outcome, after the vote, consent is no longer in question on that matter. Consent is assumed (unless withdrawn some other way, as outlined in the Charter) to be reinstated until the following twenty-year review. Failure of a recommendation doesn’t leave a perpetually hanging question of legitimacy.
