Abenzi bomthetho baye balahla ngokusemthethweni izicwangciso zokwenza abafazi babhalise kwidrafti, endaweni yoko bakhetha ukuphononongwa kwemfuno eqhubekayo yeNkqubo yeNkonzo eKhethekileyo.
Ulungiselelo oluphikisanayo lube yinxalenye yoyilo lwangaphambili lomthetho oyilwayo wogunyaziso lokhuselo, kwaye yapasisa kancinane ivoti yeKomiti yeeNkonzo zesiXhobo seNdlu kwintwasahlobo edlulileyo. Iqela leNdlu yeeNgwevu lalandela eli nyathelo kwiinyanga ezimbalwa kamva.
Kodwa abo balondolozayo kuwo omabini amagumbi bayalichasa eli lungiselelo kwaye balikhupha kuyilo lokugqibela lomthetho olutyhilwe ngoLwesibini.
Phantsi komthetho wangoku, amadoda aneminyaka eyi-18 ukuya kwengama-26 kufuneka abhalisele inkonzo yasemkhosini enganyanzelekanga ngeNkqubo yeNkonzo eKhethekileyo. Abasetyhini bakhululiwe, kwaye imingeni yezomthetho yexesha elidlulileyo ibonise ukulwa nezithintelo ezibekwe kwinkonzo yabo yasemkhosini njengesizathu sokukhutshwa kwabo.
Ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, unobhala wezoKhuselo uAsh Carter wasusa ezo zithintelo, evula izithuba zokulwa kwabasetyhini okokuqala. Ukuphendula, ingqokelela yeenkokheli zomkhosi kunye nabameli bamalungelo abasetyhini bathi bayakuxhasa ukuba abafazi ngoku babhalisele uyilo.
Endaweni yoko, idrafti yokugqibela yokugunyazisa ibhili - ekulindeleke ukuba ivotelwe yiCongress kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezizayo - ifuna ukuphononongwa kwayo yonke iNkqubo yeNkonzo eKhethekileyo, ukubona ukuba imbono yoyilo lomkhosi iseyinyani kwaye ineendleko ezifanelekileyo.
Inkqubo inohlahlo lwabiwo-mali lonyaka malunga ne-23 yezigidi zeerandi, kodwa amaqela abukeleyo aye abuza ukuba le nkqubo ingahlanganisa uluhlu lwee-drafte ukuba kuvele imeko engxamisekileyo yelizwe.
Kwaye iinkokeli zomkhosi ziye zagxininisa ngokuphindaphindiweyo ukuba azinamnqweno wokubuyela kwidrafti ukuze zizalise izikhundla. Akukho bantu baseMelika baye banyanzelwa ukuba basebenze emkhosini ngokuzithandela okoko kuyilo lokugqibela lwaphela ngo-1973.
Nangona iidemokhrasi zinokuthi zihlaziye iingxoxo kulo mba kulo nyaka uzayo, akunakwenzeka ukuba ziqhubele phambili kude nabantu baseRiphabhlikhi bazimisele ukulawula omabini amagumbi eCongress kunye ne-White House.
