Dividing the Role Of Legislator-(Referendums) Session Fourteen

A federal referendum proposer should propose only one referendum per year.

However, any proposal on his/her part has to be earlier signed by registered voters of each federal congressional district who comprise one half of one percent of its population, rounded up the nearest thousand. 

The reason why the requirement of percentage of registered voters, who sign the proposed referendum that will be later voted on, is less for federal than state referendums is simple. Federal referendums require a broad-based support throughout the nation. Therefore its requirement of percentage of registered voters must be less restrictive than the requirement of percentage of registered voters for state referendums, which is much more narrow-based. 

Federal referendums do not enact law that affect policy. They enact law that changes the form of government within the confines of the United States Constitution.
