Now, I approve of the purpose of this text.  I to want an election to fill the seat, instead of an appointment.  However, I don't think the law allows for this.  I think the only lawful alternative would be a governor appointment on the recommendation of the people, or the Assembly. 

The Senator would need to be approved by the Assembly, so it is on our recommendation technically.

Senator Napoleon has told me they passed a constitutional amendment that lets the regions decide how to handle vacancies.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Aye.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Nay

Have you ever voted Aye to anything? At all?

He voted for some of my bills.  I don't see why anyone would have any major objections to this bill, though.

He's voting Nay because Napoleon wrote it I'd imagine.

Most likely.

I sort of like the concept of this bill, except why would the governor be entrusted to this kind of information if no one else is allowed to know about it?  And I'm not sure if this law would apply to everyone.  Personally, I don't do fundraisers.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

I'm really kinda neutral on this.  Abstain.

That's basically what I have to say for this.

I'm not sure it's a great idea to put condoms in restrooms. Those places tend to be filthy in schools.

Out of curiosity, is this intended to permit a K-5 or K-8 school to provide condoms as well as 6-8 and 9-12 ones?

I specified them for bathrooms so that students would feel more comfortable grabbing condoms without having to go through the awkwardness of asking the nurse or taking some in a place where so many people can see them.

Not exactly.  This is definitely targeted for high school students.  Do you feel we should amend the bill so that it's only for high schools?

For sure.  Kids these days are prone to abusing a dispenser, in manner unfit for discussion.  I can see a school nurse being permitted to hand them out, but that's all.

I don't have a bad feeling about this bill as a whole, but I'm not particularly fond of Section 4 and 5.  I started school at 7:50 every day from 6-12, and I thought it was fine.

Because today's generation of students tend to stay up later in the evenings, many (not all) are likely to get lower grades.  If the starting time for school is raised by an hour, we would likely see at least some improvement in test scores.

Like I said, I felt the bathroom was the best room in the school for condom dispensers because kids will feel awkward going to the nurse's office to get them.  It is the most private place for it.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Aye.

1.  Perhaps they can also distribute bongs, to prevent the spread of oral herpes?  Or perhaps pure Purple Dragon, so that they make sure the kids aren't smoking something cut with anything poisonous.  Maybe they can have the school nurse supervise autoerotic asphyxiation, to prevent any of the tykes from David Carradining themselves.

3.  What's Sally in a wheelchair supposed to do?

4.  This sounds really crazy, but many parents actually need to, you know, work and sh**t.  And 8:30 is, believe it or not, an incredibly inconvenient time for them!

5.  You can have cafeteria workers digging their unwashed hands into yesterday's Philly cheesesteaks to make Philly cheesesteak stew, and giving all the little kiddies E. Coli in the process, or you can have that unsung miracle of modern technology; the sterile, pre-packaged meal.  I'll take the latter.

Nay of course.

Thank you for addressing these concerns right after the debate ended.

Mr. Speaker, the voting on my bill was tied, so I was surprised to see that it was declared defeated  I won't say that it should have passed legally, however, the Political Donation Disclosure Act passed with only a plurality of the vote (Ayes:2, Nays:1, Abstentions:2), less than 50%.  If my bill failed, shouldn't that one have also?  I feel it's relevant to mention that the regional Constitution requires that all bills pass with a majority of the voting representatives.  And abstaining is like voting against, simply because it's not voting for something.  If that makes sense.

Had the Healthy Students Act of 2011 come to my office for signature for approval or for veto, I would have vetoed it in my last act as Governor.

This proposal is a disaster waiting to happen.

 

Regardless, we need consistency.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Out of curiosity, is there any kind of government or political action whatsoever of which the gentleman from Massachusetts would actually approve?

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Swear in if you haven't yet, people.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Speaking of which, I would like to nominate myself for Speaker, if I may do so early.  As you all probably know, there's going to be a hell of a snowstorm tonight and I just wanted to do that in case I am without power for the next few days.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Already nominated.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Still getting used to the region, but I had already posted in the election area my intrepetation of the constiutional issue.  In short, since the new constitution is now in effect with no sunset provision for the old legislature (like these changes will take effect in the next regional election after the constitution is ratified by the people), the new legislature is now in effect.  This means 5 with one of them being the Lt. Gov.  

Hope you do not mind the interuption, but I find the issue very interesting and wanted to let people know what I thought.

It was a mistake that we didn't include a provision that would have solved this conflict, but basically this is the way we're interpreting it: the new Constitution applies, but the part of it that reduces the number of seats in the legislature will have to come into effect when the next election comes around.  If we only put up five seats in the last election, that would have been in violation of the older Constitution which had been in effect at that time.  If you disagree, however, you are free to take this issue to the courts.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Ugh.  Casting an early vote for myself, in case I lose power.  Sigh.

My house has been getting tons of power surges, so I do not plan on being here, most likely for the rest of the day.  If I lose power and I am unable to get on and have not been elected Speaker, I would like to ask the person who's been elected not to bring up any of my own legislation (such as The Northeast Cabinet Act) until I return.  Thanks.  I must be cursed or something, seeing as how every time the election for the Speaker comes up, I have power issues.

See ya.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Thank you very much for the opportunity to be your Speaker.  I am happy to announce that tonight, my power has finally been restored and we're back to business.

If I am not mistaken, I believe The Anti-Conscription Act is the first legislation that is to be brought up for this session.  Debate will last for 48 hours.

Anti-Conscription Act

1) The government of the Northeast region may not conscript it's citizens, whether for military or civil purposes.

2) The Northeast Assembly affirms that conscription is a form of forced labor, and thus should not be allowed in any progressive society.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

On this legislation, personally I support this wholeheartedly.  My only concern is that this bill might be challenged in the courts if this conflicts with federal law.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Also, on an unrelated note... do we have a Lieutenant Governor?

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Thank you, Napoleon.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

I'd like to introduce an amendment to remove the apostrophe from section 1.

I fully support this bill.

Is that a serious amendment proposal?   Otherwise, I would like to carry this to a vote.
