Vice Presidential Nomination

[DownWithTheLeft]

So I'm left, for the second time, to nominate a VP at short notice in order to have him nominated or rejected in the next few days so that government can get moving again.

It's a little unfair to suggest that the Atlasian government is stalled because there isn't a sitting VP.

The Immigration Bill is stalled and the proceedings to remove Porce are as well

I'll grant that the Immigration Bill is in limbo, however, the business of government continues on other matters. The Immigration Bill, though important, is not emergency legislation so a delay of a matter of days is hardly critical.

As to the proceedings to remove Porce, they are really quite likely to be in vain. Who would replace him? The number of people in the Senate who (a) want the job and (b) are competent to do the job, rules out just about everybody. There can be little doubt that if Porce was removed as PPT, this would cause a much greater stalling on Senate business than the absence of a VP.

I object to you saying I am unqualified for the job of PPT

I thank the President and I look forward to what I'm sure will be a speedy confirmation process. I expect nothing less from this Senate and her leadership.

Wait. The president's a woman?

The leader of the senate is who is referring to, and that would be Porce so he is right

I am annoucing that I will be running against Porce for PPT next senate if someone else does not stand up to the plate.  I also encourage all senate candidates to take a position on the next PPT election and who they would vote for.
