Motion to expel Senator Deus from the Senate (Failed)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The fact that Deus is an At-Large Senator also kind of makes expulsion a waste of time, because if he is expelled, the Democratic-Republican Party could reappoint him immediately thanks to the Proportional Representation Act. If you want to waste the time of the Senate to vote on an expulsion that will likely be undone in the span of five minutes, be my guest. But understand that this action is an undemocratic attack upon the right of a Senator to speak his mind on an issue that he feels passionate about. Speech advocating for the secession of a Region should not be the grounds for the expulsion of an Atlasian Senator anymore than calling for the overthrow of the government should.

Wrong, we fixed that after the Xahar mess. If he is expelled, his appointment will not be recognized for the duration of the current term. He also could not be elected in October to a regional seat either.

I've been looking at Deus's thread closely, and I don't think we can do this.

Deus is very careful in the thread not to say anything that could be construed as an action. Unlike certain people, he did not declare the northeast independent. Unlike certain people he did not detain anyone. All he does is express the view that the northeast would be better off independent.

Now I think this view is disastrously wrong, but, as long as he is peaceful and democratic in pursuing it, it is not treasonous.

Exactly, unless their is a post where this line was crossed, my default answer is Nay on expulsion.

NAY for the reasons already stated
