I suppose that could be added; it's only a few points.

I suspect that would become very complicated; you can propose it if you
want, but I'm not going to add it to my fix.

Yes. That's the only way I can see of preventing judicial corruption - even
if bd decides to take a bribe, the rest of the House is unlikely too.

They can do whatever they want, as long as at some point before the deadline
a majority of them have agreed on something.

Yes. The House reaches a decision when a majority of its members do; if no
majority ruling has been made before the time limit, then Dave casts the
deciding vote.
