+Thus, the Banking and Finances Act was passed by Parliament by a vote of 8 in favor, none against, and 6 abstaining.
+On January 26, 2009, [[Pkmatrix]] (YSP) announced that, despite the voting having ended four months earlier, he was opposed to this bill and urged President [[Sargon]] (E) to veto it.  Sargon responded on January 27:  "As for the Banking and Finances Bill, I do happen to find it fiendishly complicated and very long indeed. Plus it makes my job less fun and more of a headache.  I would have preferred something more simple and less wordy, although I feel it is an interesting idea. Nevertheless, it has been voted for by an overwhelming majority which I'd rather not go against here, so I hereby sign it into law."
