Or that vote of no-confidence, because some people asked questions to a nominee who was perfectly willing to answer them? Get over it.
Interestingly, a petition for a vote of no confidence must be presented to the President of the Senate (VP), and given that office is vacant, I do not know how a vote could be called since the Dean is only empowered to act with the powers and perogatives of the PPT if he is called upon to run the Senate.
Yes, I'd agree with this. The OSPR states quite clearly:
"In the event that the President of the Senate should be exercising responsibility as Acting President of the Republic of Atlasia under the Constitution, then the powers given by this Resolution to the President of the Senate shall instead be exercised by the Dean of the Senate."
Other than that the Dean can only act in cases where the PPT is inactive, which is clearly not the case currently.
