For the benefit of the Senate (because these are lazy people here) and also for the general public whose interest is served by disclosure, could you state a brief summary of your experiences in the game and also even potentially outside of it that would prepare you for the role of Vice President? (Yes I already know the answer to this one, it is merely red tape but necessary red tape for the people).

As Vice President, would you go back to compiling public lists of legislation that is pending from the opposite chamber, as well as that which has passed both chambers?

Are you familiar with the Constitutional Amendment Explanation requirements for the Vice President?

As Vice President, while administering congress is important, do you also have any interest in possibly serving in a cabinet or policy related role, which some VPs have from time to time done?

Do you support any structural reforms to the position of Vice President, like say abolishing the position or making it independently elected? Do you support expanded voting powers beyond just ties?

mfw when six people vote on a vote that doesn't matter and I opened two votes in my first act as VP with a combined total of one vote.

Well I would note that I have not been on in 48 hours almost, but have cast votes on all the bills that I see opened just now. All of them appear to have started, as had this "confirmation vote" after I had last been on.

As for the rest, well, have you tried PMing them?

In Fremont, I avoided this outside of major votes to avoid "a boy who cried wolf situation" and get people in the habit of checking the threads in general without reminder and voting/debating. But clearly I may have to adjust my ways here sooner rather than later Tongue

I fully agree with getting to that point, but at this point, especially with the house, if you don't want a number of sub quorum votes I recommend PMing.

Also if you create your noticeboard post, you could just PM people directing them to "review the noticeboard for latest changes" etc.  https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=300915.msg6413537#msg6413537
