Twenty-seventh Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
I will present some of the options I propose in these amendments. Amendment No. 8 proposes that Article 2 should be amended in a minimalist way such that it would restate Article 9.1.2, that is, the power to limit citizenship by legislation. Another option would be to amend Article 2 so as to reduce the broad scope of the existing wording. Amendment No. 3 uses some of the words proposed in the Government's wording.
