SENATE CONFIRMATION: MB For VP (Confirmed)

[Dr. MB]

Hi.

First of all I'd like to thank Pericles for appointing me. Second of all, I'd like to say that I'm fully prepared to serve as Vice President. I was first elected to this position two years ago and back then I was pretty unfamiliar with it, so naturally I got worn out pretty quickly. But after 8 months in congress and then another 4 as Governor of the South, I definitely know how the legislative process works and I know how to efficiently serve in the role. I'd hope you take all this into consideration and vote to confirm me as your next Vice President.

One aspect of the last few VPs was the failure to make the last post in the notice board listing in full public view bills passed in each chamber and those passing both. It also displayed VP administered slots in both chambers. In my view the absence of this makes the job of the VP harder as well as keeping track of what has passed where. Can you commit to making this last notice board post as it is often termed?

I'll fully keep the noticeboard updated. When I was in congress this proved to be annoying when passed bills weren't posted so I will be sure to do that.

[Dr. MB]

Ok time for "spicy" tough questions. You were already VP under Weatherboy, and we all know the Weatherboy administration was a bit of a mess.

What assurances would you give to anyone who fears this could be a replay of your time as VP under WB?

I didn't know what the VP was even supposed to do when I first got the job in November 2018. I'd mostly just been a zombie legislator with little real experience in managing any sort of legislature or political party. But now I've got plenty of experience in party leadership and in legislatures as an active member to know how the job's done.

As you've been saying on discord, will you confirm that you'll resign as Governor of the South to take the position of VP?

I will resign as governor if I'm confirmed as VP.
