MA: Re-Establishment of a Lieutenant Governor Amendment (Ratified)

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Would anyone be interested in giving the LG powers similar to those delegated to the Vice President in the amended version of the "VP finally has a purpose amendment" at a national level?

And for ceremonial purposes, we could have the Lieutenant Governor open the Voting Booth instead, but that doesn't really matter.

That makes it a weaker office though and it really should be a strong one.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

If we added the powers Senators Nix and Franzl have suggested allocating to the President at a federal level to the Lieutenant Governor, I think it would be a significantly stronger position than it is under the current bill, without infringing too much on the rights of the Governor (I'm sick of hearing how "weak" the Governor is under this bill; he's not) or the Lieutenant Governor.

Alright, I'm fine with that   I thought you meant current powers.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Instead of joint nominations, why not have the LG open and close the voting booth?

Because it should be a strong office with significant powers.
