Sam Spade v. President Porce

[jerusalemcar5]

In response to the Attorney General:

All articles that create actual news must be approved by a majority of the staff.  The staff does consist of Senators Earl AW and SoS as well as candidates Captain Vlad and Jerusalemcar5.  We are all confident that we would not allow conflicts to make us biased should we all become members of the Senate.  If a president felt that this did happen, he would dismiss us.

I pose this question to all of you who are afraid on the GM(s) being in the Senate or in other positions.  Does anyone believe that any Atlasian would ever create news to better their bills or positions on the Senate.  No one here is that unethical.  I am disappointed that anyone believes there would ever even be an issue of that happening since everyone here has good ethics and the President has the right to immediately dismiss GMs if they are determined to be biased or unethical.  This is a non-issue.

The "How dare you wuestion my morals" defense is, quite frankly, not reassuring.

The conflict of interest exists, regardless of how good a person you are.

I was not saying you should not "wuestion" my morals.  I said that there was no need to fear a conflict of interest.  We have each other as well as the President to check us.  The only conflict I could forsee if the President took over since he is the overseer.  If there is an overseer, Mr. Ford, then unless you expect that person to also have no ethics there is no problem.  Why don't you actually say something with some merit?

I argue that the GM is not a member of the executive branch because its term does not begin or end in cycle with the President, Vice-President, and cabinet.  A new President, for example, does not mean a new GM.  A GM has also never had to be confirmed by the Senate, a precedent that has been affirmed over and over.

Most employees of the executive branch are career government servants whose term of office does not begin and end with each administration.

Those aren't high level like GMs.
