Mr. Speaker
I must ask that part of this be amended so that noble houses don't lose there wealth or titles due to one individual. I ask that only the personal assets be seized.
I yield

Mr. Speaker,
One of the points of a bill of attainder is to punish a noble for ill behavior. The Emperor can restore the holdings of a house following the enactment of a bill of attainder if they so desire so there is enough protection. The possibility of a bill of attainder will also force nobles to consider the possible consequences their actions may cause their house. Bills of attainder are meant to give individuals, even nobles, a reason to act properly in all circumstances.
On top of all this a bill of attainder can only be made against an individual, not their house as a whole. The 3rd cousin of a noble who is punished will not be punished for their 3rd cousin's actions, only the noble's spouse and children and other dependents will be effected. Again, the hope is that the fear of having a bill of attainder brought against them should scare nobles into acting right and proper in all circumstances. I yield the floor.
