Why did you shorten voting periods from 72 to 48 hours? I must say I disapprove of that!
I didn't shorten a damn thing.....weren’t you here for the last election? We had it from NOON on Friday...to NOON on Sunday. When was it ever
72 hours? Where the hell have you been?
The voter must state on his ballot from which state he is casting his vote? I think I know why you put that in - to prevent confusion - but that may create lots of unnecessarily invalid ballots, which would be beside the point. I say, there should be an official voters register which will note who's registered in what state, and which will be posted after registrations close. If you want to change your home state, it's not enough to get a different avatar, you also have to post the change in the registration thread (but not of course in the last ten days before the elections)
How is it unnecessary? And you're right...I did it to prevent confusion...and ALSO for the purpose of making election maps for fun...to be put in the records. What's so hard about just putting this within you ballot?
Example Ballot:
Vote Cast: President Nym90 (D-MI); Vice President Harry (D-MS). Ballot cast from the State of NY. But I suppose the registration would work just as well....but I was thinking of how CLUTTERED the Registration thread would eventually become...with people (especially outside of the U.S.)....saying.."Gee...I wanna change states now before the next election." Posts, posts, and more posts that are entirely UNNECESSARY for the Registration thread. But I will attempt to comply with your request.
Why term limits for the Vice Presidency? They don't exist in the US.
Why term limits? So we can be FAIR! We don't need someone to HOG to office of Vice President...while other people can get a shot at holding the office...(sorry Harry).
Regional Rights- what if I as Governor just set my term period at 100 years? Maybe we should have something like "Governors will be elected for four months terms without term limits on the same day as mid-term elections and using the same system, until and unless a majority of its residents decide otherwise in a public vote"?
Perhaps I can set a clause in the Constitution that can insure that if that were to ever happen (regions setting their term for 100 years...or whatever)...that respective region would face an intervention by the Supreme Court. Maybe a Clause such as: No Regional Governor’s term shall exceed six months. I will NEVER right in the Constitution.....WHEN the regions should hold their elections...if they want to hold their elections on the Fourth of July....or on Christmas Day...let them do it. I don't want a Federal Government that controls every little aspect of every election. (Especially when it comes to regions..which shouldn't have much power anyway...so why deal with rules for them that much?)
Does Article V, clause 2 also apply to signatures or only to the text of posts? I approve only in the latter case.
There's a strange hald-sentence at the end of V, 5, that's probably not supposed to be there...
No campaigning in the form of Posts of course....I'll change it to make it more clear. I'm not sure what you mean by "hald-sentence", but sure.
But the most important point is, of course: One of those regions of yours still has only three registered voters, including the vice president. Thus the other two have to be the Governor and Senator. This problem should be rectified by exchanging Nebraska for Missouri, putting two more registered voters in the region.
I didn't come up with the regions...so don't bitch at me about it. I don't claim responsibility for thinking of the regions or districts at ALL. And in case you haven't noticed...I have pretty much stayed OUT of the region making process. I thought it was my moral obligation to not complicate the process any further...and in addition to that...I don't really give a damn how the regions are distributed anyway....as long as each one has 10 states per region....and the districts have nearly equal amount of people. But wait....I know some of you out there are going to ATTACK me now...and say..”ha ha...but DAN!..you ENDORSED Supersoulty’s plan...so that makes you guilty. WA HA HA HEE HO HOOO HA HE HA HO.” Yeah? So what if I did? I supported the overall CONCEPT of the plan...the idea of having...10 states per region....and nearly equal amount of people per district. The rest of you can fight over how they should be distributed.....and have fun doing so....make sure you block with your left arm....and don’t get too many scratches.
How much you wanna be that 70% of the people who nitpick every little detail of my draft of the Constitution will be Progressives?
It’s that predictable. Again, I don’t mind criticism at ALL....I think it’s good...in order to shape the Constitution in the right way...so everyone will be happy with it. But I must admit I’m kinda suspicious when it’s primarily the Progressive’s who always complain about EVERY LITTLE THING...when everyone else satisfied with most of it and just wants minor changes. Perhaps it’s me....perhaps they hold a grudge against me. They don’t like the way I LOOK.....where I went to SCHOOL! (From the movie Nixon) Or maybe I'm just being paranoid....like Nixon was.
Boy.....these Progressive’s just LOVE me.
