Northeast Assembly Thread

[Napoleon]

This has my full support. We should consider linking new citizens to this information when they join.

[Napoleon]

We will hold a nomination period for Lt. Governor concurrently, as not to delay the resolution for a Constitutional Convention.

[Napoleon]

I'll nominate Representative Homelycooking for Lt. Governor.

The CJO has stated that you are not a member of the Assembly. I planned to nominate you, since you are out of a job apparently.

[Napoleon]

Vital Civic Information Act

1. The Government of the Northeast shall keep a complete and accurate record at all times of the names of current members of the Assembly, the names of the region's executive and judicial officers, the dates of any forthcoming general or special elections and any other information which the government sees fit to make its citizens aware of.

2. The information to be made public by this act shall be published within three days of the passage of this Act.

3. Any future changes to the above information must be made within three days of an event necessitating a change, such as a new officer/legislator's ascendance to or removal from his respective office or the calling of a new special election.

4. Any member of the Legislature, or of the Executive or Judicial Branches, may make any necessary changes to the above information.

5. The above information shall be made public through at least one of the following media:
a. A new thread in the Regional Governments subforum of the Atlas Fantasy Government forum; or
b. The appropriate pages in the Atlasia Wiki.

6. If any inappropriate information, such as any egregious self-promotional, offensive or irrelevant text is made public through the media specified in 5 a or b, the Chief Judicial Officer is hereby authorized to remove it, at his discretion, upon the recommendation of any Northeast Citizen.

A final vote is called for this legislation. Representatives you have 24 hours to vote.

We will simultaneously recommend a Lt. Governor.

[Napoleon]

On the bill: Aye.
For lieutenant governor: Wormyguy.

[Napoleon]

Sorry I've been absent and probably will remain so until Monday. Wormyguy is recommended and this bill has passed as well.

[Napoleon]

Shall the SRC be given until the 20th day?

[ ] Yes
[ ] No

[Napoleon]

Shall the SRC be given until the 20th day?

[X] Yes
[ ] No

[Napoleon]

So the SRC has more time and completed its task. Before we start voting on the report,  which may take a few days to debate, I'd like to put this on the floor.

Resolution for a Constitutional Convention


The Assembly of the Northeast hereby authorizes a Constitutional Convention to prepare a document by the 10th of June, to replace or modify the existing Constitution in accordance with current amending procedure.

I also motion to shorten debate to 24 hours. We shall now vote on the motion, aye or nay.

[Napoleon]

Aye

To be clear, Napoleon, the SRC hasn't finished its job yet. We'll be finished when the report gets approved by its members.

Aye and you're right, my mistake.

[Napoleon]

The motion has passed so we shall proceed to a final vote.

AYE

[Napoleon]

The Northeast Assembly has authorized a Constitutional convention.

[Napoleon]

Resolution Thanking Rowan Brandon

The Northeast Assembly hereby thanks Senator Rowan Brandon for his invaluable service to the Region and we on this day declare him Atlasia's greatest senator in modern history. The Assembly also hopes that his service to Region and Nation will continue as the nation's President.

We will now begin debate on this bill. The sponsor, Giovanni, has the floor.

[Napoleon]

Very inappropriate and undeserved.  Motion to table.

[Napoleon]

We will now hold a vote on tabling this frivolous bill.

Aye

[Napoleon]

This bill is banished to the tabled-zone.

[Napoleon]

The time has come for us to review and vote on the report by the SRC.

We will have 48 hours of debate, which will be extended if deemed necessary. I expect full participation, Representatives.

[Napoleon]

Right off the bat I'd like to state my disapproval of #3. We shouldn't undo the liberalization of sex laws in this region.
I also think #14 needs to be a 24 hour nomination period followed by a vote rather than a three day waiting period.

[Napoleon]

I mean a 24 hour nomination period, which would be followed by a 24 hour vote.

[Napoleon]

I mean a 24 hour nomination period, which would be followed by a 24 hour vote.

So you would suggest changing three to two in #14?

I suggest changing it to an immediate 24 hour nomination period, followed by a 24 hour vote, just to make the procedure clear.

[Napoleon]

Presumably the Lt. Governor would run things until a Speaker is properly elected.

[Napoleon]

Anything else guys?

[Napoleon]

Is this ready for final vote? Is anyone going to say anything?

[Napoleon]

Alright, time for a final vote!
