I nominate Spiral for speaker.

I nominate shua for Speaker.

Thank you very much for the nomination, but I will decline.  Another time perhaps.

Did this ever get debated or enacted?   I can't find a thread for it.

LOA - I expect to be pretty much gone for the next few days.

I can't find the link to Assembly procedure in the wiki, does anyone have it?

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

I will support New Canadaland for Speaker.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Well great!
Considering that 2 Assemblymen (on the 3 who swore in) want Harry as Speaker, I guess we can say he's elected, right?

I'm sorry for not being able to wait. But I just realized that I can only open the voting booth for Mideast and federal amendments only on Thursday. So it would be great if the fix the constitution amendment could pass before friday, so I wouldn't have to wait for an another week to open the voting booth changing this current insane constitution.

And New Canadaland needs to be confirmed/rejected by the assembly too.

So, congratulations Speaker Harry S Truman!

You do not get to pick the Speaker, Governor, nor declare a Speaker chosen.   A vote is required. A motion to nominate and an acceptance of nomination do not constitute a vote.   

If a proper vote does not take place, I will pursue Court action, and you can expect all acts of the Assembly under this "Speakership" to be declared invalid.

I also nominate myself for Speaker.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

I just realized I am now the Dean of the Assembly, and so have the responsibility of presiding over the Speaker selection per the CSMLP.

I acknowledge the nominations made for Harry S Truman and myself.

I will leave nominations open for 24 hours, after which a 48 hour vote will commence.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

I refuse to be taken into hostage by someone who needs 3 days for swearing in. If you want to sue anyone, please do.

I'm sorry you consider the Assembly following it's rules rather than your irrelevant dictates to mean you are "taken hostage."  Hopefully HST will be reasonable and follow the law, and you can go back to your Governor's mansion and let us proceed without any more illegal interference.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

You make some valid points, HST. However, Spiral formally opened nominations, specifying a time period (48 hours) over which nominations would be accepted. Yes, after this period, when there were no other nominations, he declared himself speaker, but that is not comparable. Especially since in this case no Dean never declared the result of the nominating process.

According to the logic being presented, the first person to take the oath of office after the start of the new session could immediately consider himself the dean, nominate himself for the position of Speaker, immediately then vote for himself as the sole member of the assembly at that moment, and declare himself Speaker before anyone else takes the oath of office!

I suppose I was not the Dean before, I am now, and so it makes sense for me to finish the nominating process, as the gun had been jumped.

A vote in now open for Speaker of the Assembly:

[ ] Harry S Truman
[ ] shua

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

[ ] Harry S Truman
[X] shua

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

As all members of the Assembly have now voted, I motion that the Dean declare the outcome of this election so that we may address the many pressing issues facing our Region.

sorry I didn't see this last night, but in any case...


Harry S Truman is elected Speaker.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

I resign from Mideast Assembly.  (just got too much else on my mind)
