How does that even work?  The next clause is:

+---

| made or whether the implementation of the original decision will be

+---[ Debian Constitution, 4.2.2.4 ]

Which leaves open quite a bit, e.g, how long would the voting period for
the immediate vote be?  The regular voting period is two weeks after
all...
