The Imperial Dominion of the South's Legislature

[Yelnoc]

Now, I believe this vote has run quite a bit over time, so let's finish the voting so that we can move onto the Speakership appointment.

Not my fault I told you all to vote days ago. Chairman Sanchez wants to be speaker but he is on Vacation apparently.

No need to get defensive; nobody is blaming you and I just swore in.  Though you could probably go ahead and close it now that a majority have voted affirmative.

No need to get defensive; nobody is blaming you and I just registered.  Though you could probably go ahead and close it now that a majority have voted affirmative.

I'm sorry I just had a stressful day. I will wait until about 10:00 or so in case Sanchez wants to vote

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

My bad.

The Act passes 3-0 and is ready for the Emperor

[Associate Justice PiT]

     On The Our Opinions Matter Dag Nabbit! Act: by the powers vested in me as Emperor of this region, I thus sign it into law.

     Be it resolved, X Emperor PiT

[Yelnoc]

Alrighty then.  Sanchez is the only one who has put his name forward.  As an appointee, I'm not about to fight the nomination, so unless Jbrase is looking to pick up a "previous title" for his senate run, I think we can get this over with a quick vote.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Im ready for the vote

[Associate Justice PiT]

     No vote is held if there is no challenger.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

     No vote is held if there is no challenger.

I was under the assumption that a vote is held, and that if no challenger arises, the vote would be unanimous,

I was under the assumption that a vote is held, and that if no challenger arises, the vote would be unanimous,

     Historically, we just don't hold a vote in such instances. There's nothing written down that says that, though. Anyway, if Jbrase explicitly says that he does not want to run for Speaker, then I will ask Viceroy tb75 to declare you Speaker.

[CatoMinor]

In the name of speediness, I Jbrase, being of sound mind and body, do hereby officially and explicitly announce that I shall support Sanchez for speaker. The ball is now in your court Mr. Viceroy.

[Dancing with Myself]

Herby elected with no opposition, Chairman Sanchez is the speaker

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I thank the honorable Viceroy and Emperor, as well as my friends Yelnoc and Jbrase

[Yelnoc]

I suggest that the bill condemning the charges against Tmth be dropped, seeing as the charges themselves were dropped.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Yeah, I forgot about that since charges were dropped.  I dont want to bring it up for a vote.

I think we should still have a bill that still allows Tmth and Dallasfan to be honory citzens be brought up. They deserve it imo

That they do..anyone want to introduce a revised version? I can do it right now if you all like

What did they do to deserve being honorary citizens?

Besides being my friends they were decent as President, and did not intervene in our affairs.

The two are also good people and have helped the RPP party out here in the south

Indded.

[Yelnoc]

Eh.  They're both nice guys but they didn't have anything to do with their presidency to make them look bad (other than doing nothing for the paper economy).  They got really lucky that my computer crashed, because I had a few plans to burn some life into the Federal and Regional governments.  And, I'm not part of the RPP and don't like the way the south is becoming a one-party region.

     The IDS has been a one-party region for some time. August 2010 was the last time that any party other than the RPP was a serious presence in an election. Even then, the RPP has been the dominant party since August 2008. In fact, this is the first time since May 2010 that a group other than the RPP has held a majority of the seats, with two independents in the Legislature.

Jbrase could be an RPPer, if you go by voting patterns.  AFAIK, Bacon King, TexasGurl, and I are the only active non-conservatives.  BK is federally active and TG is apparently too good to run a campaign for either level.

I feel so lonely

Anyways, this isn't going anywhere.  I think the next item on the agenda is South Sudan.  I support the sentiment, but I'm not sure if it is proper for non-federal governments to involve themselves in foreign affairs.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     If it's only a resolution, there's no legal problems. Now it could be a source of difficulty if the federal government chose to support Sudan over South Sudan, but I think there's little chance of that happening.
