I would like to point out that neither of my proposals are even going to be 
adopted unless a large swathe of people change their minds suddenly and against 
character, so y'all are massively overthinking this...

As for the pledge, I agree with G., it's entirely unreasonable. The Assessor's 
ability to resolve proposals out of order (even occasionally for personal gain, 
although I confess I don't think I've never used it to the tune of 11.8% of a 
win before) is neither new nor historically controversial. And if you disagree, 
well, feel free to announce your intent to impeach me.
