Parliamentary Series #8

THE ACCELERATION ACT
Recognizing the need for bills to have an adequate time in Parliament for voting and debate.
Noticing that several bills "starve" on the floor, having most or all of active citizens voting on the bill, yet having it required to stay on the floor until the 7th day
Also Noticing that some bills need to be passed as soon as possible, and thus the 7-day requirement hinders the situation promoting the bill.
I: Any Resident of the Commonwealth can create a bill and ask the Minister of Internal Affairs to "fast-track" the bill through Parliament.
II: Fast-Tracking is the reducing of the time a bill stays in the voting Parliament floor from the standard 7 days to 4 days.
III: If a request to fast-track a bill is denied, the bill is from there-on locked in Parliament for the standard 7-day period.
IV: If fast-tracking of a bill is necessary for Cabinet/Parliament stability, Military Operations, or any other reason of emergency or urgency, it can automatically be granted fast-track by the Chancellor without Internal Affairs approval.
V: Fast-tracking can only be used on a bill that will alter or influence Parliament, the Courts, or the Army (to be categorized as "Stationary Bills". All other bills, hereby labeled "Civil Bills", cannot be fast-tracked.
VI: Amendments to the Constitution are unable to be fast-tracked unless Cabinet votes upon a fast-track unanimously. Bills that will affect the Cabinet directly requires a majority vote from the Chancellor, Minister of Internal Affairs and Chief Justice (or Minister of Justice whenever the Chief Justice is unavailable).
VII: Bills that earn a ratio of 3:1 denouncements (three denouncements to each endorsements) and maintains it for 3 consecutive days, will be removed from the floor by the Minister of Internal Affairs, unless the Chancellor intervenes and vetoes the action.
VIII: Allows the Cabinet to add articles to this bill, and Parliament to strip away articles.

. One more critique, sorry about this, in the next to last article, I know you meant that the bill would be passed, but for the sake of legality that needs to be clarified, instead of simply "remove." Unless of course I misread and you said if a bill has 3:1 denouncements, then that's fine.
