Article 5: Congress
Section 1: Congress shall be formed of 15 members. The President, VP, and HOC shall pick 4 members each. The 3 Empty seats shall be filled by the runner ups. If they choose not to participate, Vacancies will be filled by the HOC.
Section 2: Congress shall propose and vote on rules for the stream. A simple majority (8-7) will pass normal bills, and the President will either enact it, or veto it. If the bill is vetoed, then ⅔ supermajority will pass it.
Section 3: ⅔ supermajorities are required for constitutional amendments and impeachments.
Section 4: Vacancies In congress shall be filled by who appointed them.
Section 5: Stream owners are NOT to interfere with Congressional votes.
Section 6: In case of ANY tie, the Vice President casts the tie breaking vote.

Article 6: Senate
Section 1: The Senate consists of users elected to represent different streams.
Section 2: Each stream may appoint one Senator through any method they please.
Section 3: Any stream listed on imgflip.com/streams may participate.
Section 4: Streams that are too similar to another larger stream may not participate (e.g. LGBTQ_too is too similar to LGBTQ).
Section 5: IMGFLIP_PRESIDENTS itself has no Senator aside from the HOS.
Section 6: The Senate votes on foreign policy matters, not internal affairs in specific streams, and the HOS casts the tie-breaking vote.

Article 7: Owner
Section 1: The Owner shall be responsible for holding elections and transfers of power. Nothing else.
Section 2: They are not to interfere with Congress votes, trials, or impeachments. They are not to run for office. But they may vote in elections.
Section 3: Owners cannot remove an elected official without Congress voting with the necessary supermajority to impeach.

Article 8: Impeachment
Section 1: In order to remove a person in power, 2 Officials (President, VP, HOC, Member of Congress, or Owner) must call for an impeachment, what offence was committed, and who is responsible. A trial shall then be held by one of the judges from the Courtroom stream and after giving his verdict Congress shall vote, with a ⅔ supermajority required to impeach. Stream owners are NOT to interfere with this process. As usual, the Vice President casts the tie-breaking vote if necessary. However, if the Vice President is the one being impeached, then the Head of Congress casts the tie-breaking vote instead.

Article 9: Trials

Not like that. Users in congress must actually be IN IP. Not from another stream.

I appreciate the attempt to stem the tide of streams in the Senate. I am curious about enforcement but I guess time will tell and if the Senate turns into a $#!&show we can further amend it's sunset.

So. With these reservations in mind, Congressman Getty votes AYE.

Although, there should be 11 articles. This only suggests there is 9. You made a mistake on Congress and Voting, using 4 and 8 when they should really be 5 and 10, causing a chain effect.
