Senator's push for Easter Sunday to be a National Holiday results in first Senate fight since 1976

Senator Micheal Taylor (NCU-O) suggested during Friday's Vox Regionum session that Easter Sunday become a National Holiday. Somehow, the debate became so heated that several punches were thrown.

Taylor reportedly became exasperated after his idea was heavily refuted and stated in closing, "Come on! Nearly 70% of Maximusians celebrate Easter, The economic impact and implications will be negligible according to studies. Why shouldn't it be a Federal Holiday?! He was responded to be Senator and nihilist, Alex Suarez (PCP-O), who told him "The other 30%, including myself, couldn't give two sh*ts about your God or your holiday."

Sources say Taylor slowly approached Suarez and punched him in the face. Suarez willingly fought back and landed several blows on Taylor's torso until the pair were pulled apart by chamber security. Both senators have issued formal apologies.

Taylor sent out a social media update the next day saying, "That was certainly no way to behave for me. I am deeply sorry to my fellow senators and the general public, who put their faith in me to carry out my duties in a respectful and orderly fashion. I have let you down. My actions were inexcusable and I will not let that happen again."

Suarez followed suit saying, "I certainly regret what I said and did [on Friday]. It was unbecoming of me to say the very least. Debate built this nation, respectful debate that is, not what I did. That wasn't right.

This event is the first recorded physical altercation in the Senate Chambers since the famed Senate Brawl of 1976. It is also, thankfully, the shortest physical altercation to ever take place in the Vox Regionum.

Taylor has agreed to hand the reins of his proposed bill over to an undecided fellow Christian Union Senator while he handles the political fallout of his actions. It is doubtful, however, that the bill, should it come into being, will gain much traction with the Christian Union holding only 4 seats in the Vox Regionum.
