Suggest making this "None of the above" instead of "Further discussion"
to avoid two different default options for TC decisions vs project
decisions.

Same as above.

I'm assuming the intention is to remove the duplication of "The Chair
has a casting vote", right? [That's what I understood, but textual
descriptions of text edits are challenging.]
Because of this (and others), can I suggest that the ballot option be
specified as a wdiff to the existing constitution?
Whoever has to modify the constitution at the end of this vote will
likely appreciate it.

He was wrong. Nature abhors dimensional abnormalities, and seals them
neatly away so that they don't upset people. Nature, in fact, abhors a
lot of things, including vacuums, ships called the Marie Celeste, and
the chuck keys for electric drills.
