Hughento (Secretary of External Affairs) Confirmation Hearing

[MAS117]

To be quite honest I think this Senate is a joke for rejecting Hughento as SOEA. Besides some activity level concerns there is no reason to reject him. To be honest I don't think activity level should be a reason for his rejection anyway. He wants the job, he promised that he would be more active, whats the problem here.

The problem with hearings like this is particpation from people who are not members of this chamber (ie Phil-Hugh incident). I think Phil interjecting himself in this hearing was uncalled for. That is why there is a seperate thread called Senate Protest! I urge a Senator to purpose a rule barring none members of the Senate from posting in the Senate business threads.

If the Senators can not state the reason why they rejected Hughento as SoEA then they should all RESIGN from this chamber.

x Fmr. Senator MAS117

[MAS117]

I urge a current Senator to introduce the following bill or something similar:

Senate Floor Rights Bill

I.) Only members of the Senate may comment on floor hearings such as bills and nominations.
II.) Anyone who posts in a hearing on a nominee or on a bill that is not a member of the
Atlasian Senate should be subject to a punishment prescribed by the presiding officer.
III.) Former Senators and Vice Presidents may retain floor previlieges at a time described by the President Pro Tempore or presiding officer.
IV.) This bill should be enacted at the time of its passage through the Senate.
