Speaker Mr. Stanisław Małachowski starts today's session by expressing deep gratitude to the President for his dedication to the nation's welfare and for mediating yesterday's turbulent debates. He mentions that the majority decided to proceed with the draft bill presented by Representative Franciszek Mikorski from Kalisz. Secretary Mr. Jan Łuszczewski was then called upon to read the bill titled Article 16.

Representative Mr. Jan Krasnodębski from Podlasie proposed amendments to ensure that every voting member could participate and that any member who neglected their duties for a month (excluding illness) would face a penalty. He suggested that members swear they are not under anyone's influence and not receiving salaries from external sources. No one should be a delegate if they are in service to anyone, including serving the President.

Representative Mr. Jan Małachowski from Sandomierz and Mr. Ignacy Zakrzewski from Poznań agreed that these additions seem worthwhile given our current legislative situation.

However, Mr. Adam Moszczeński, also from Poznań, opposed segmenting the bill for individual decisions, stating that he would rather preserve the laws of the nation and would take action to protest and justify his position to the public.

Speaker Mr. Stanisław Małachowski clarified that in the absence of unanimity on the entire bill, it should indeed be decided by majority vote on each category.

After some further debate and readouts, the session moved to vote on the continuation of the current Confederation till January 24, 1791. With an overwhelming majority affirming the decision, the Confederation was extended.

The freshly endorsed law reads, "We've entrusted our efforts in the hope that our Confederation would suffice in the allotted time, but given the unmet needs of the Union, the incomplete governance, and the hazardous political situation of our country, we realize the necessity of prolonging the existence of the Confederation."

The remainder of the session was spent discussing the upcoming election of new delegates and maintaining the Congress's continuous operation during the interim period.

Eventually, Prince Adam Czartoryski from Lublin, in an effort to reconcile differing opinions and allow for reflection, proposed to adjourn the session. This motion was unanimously accepted, and it was agreed to resume on the following Tuesday morning.

Today's session was rich in debate, focusing on accountability of members and ensuring legislative continuity during turbulent times. With proposals to increase member commitment and proposals to safeguard the Union's operations, it is clear that the heart of today's politics lies in the people's representatives coming together to strengthen and protect the nation's interests.
