Mideast Assembly Thread

[Purple State]

Whoa, whoa.

First Tmth, I am bringing this up simply because some members of the Assembly feel that the way to solve the Wiki problem is to simply create more positions, rather than helping you out themselves. I am stressing why a Lieutenant Governor would harm the region's activity without any plausible benefit.

I'd also like to add, Mr. "President-elect" that in case you haven't read our Constitution in a while...

It hasn't been thirty days yet, so it would be unconstitutional for the Assembly to appoint an acting Governor.

Reread what I wrote please.

Nowhere did I say you should be removed right now. Also, I should note that you are primarily responsible for the legislation passed under your watch, not under the administrations before you, per the Mideast Constitution. I encourage you to start in your administration and go backwards.

Would the Assembly be able to consider multiple bills at once? I am hoping to have action taken fairly quickly on the ConCon resolution to ensure that my administration can hit the ground running with the effort.

That sounds nice, but it would create a lot of confusion in the Assembly if we had multiple bills. If the Assembly thinks otherwise, I'd be open to trying it. I still think our best option would be a sub-board, but oh well.

I would encourage the Speaker and Assembly to quickly pass the ConCon resolution next, so the administration in waiting won't have to wait on our region to get it started.

Thank you.

[Purple State]

Do it.

I thank this Assembly for supporting the Convention idea. I know these things are fairly controversial after the last one ended in failure, but I do look forward to a streamlined and organized convention this time around with a clear goal.

Are we waiting for the final talley and the next bill for any particular reason?

My guess is the holiday weekend is keeping people away from Atlasia. I know I haven't exactly been around too much this weekend and have only gotten so much done because I had a lot waiting in the wings.

[Purple State]

Two things: §1.5 can make the process overly cumbersome, though it is potentially useful for making sure it gets done; I would recommend considerable debate on this. Second, I will be watching this process closely as the federal attempts to create a budget commence shortly.

[Purple State]

How would we precede on choosing a delegate?

Hold some hearings?

And are we ready to vote on the budget bill? There seems to be minimal debate

For the delegate, a reasonable way to do that is to have an open nomination period of 48-72 hours and then go from there.

[Purple State]

If I can do it without resigning as SoEA, I'd like to volunteer for the role of Delegate

Indeed you can hold an office and serve as a ConCon delegate.

[Purple State]

Fingers crossed on a ConCon delegate soon.



I know things got screwy with the end of the session and all that. Looking forward to your selection forthwith.

[Purple State]

Yes please!

As the proposed new Constitution must be ratified by the regions, I am posting this public service announcement in the threads of the regional legislatures:

Very Important Announcement

The Constitutional Convention is reaching its end, with the final two documents being voted on as we speak.

At this time, delegates and all Atlasians are welcome to offer their thoughts on an amendment to ANY part of the new Constitution, which will be considered all at once in one final amendment vote coming up in the next 48-72 hours. This means that any changes you would like to see to the current document should be offered right now.

Here is the relevant announcement in the Convention thread:

During the next 48 hours, please offer any amendments, as well as debate, that you would like to see considered for any part of the document. This is your last chance to make finishing touches to any of the more controversial changes, including dual-office holding, regional legislatures, the legislative restart, etc.

Feel free to offer opposing variations to amendments as well, which will then be brought up as a package vote.

Here is the relevant links to help you out:

Constitutional Convention thread

Constitutional Convention completed documents page

Please review the completed documents and post here or in the Convention thread with your comments, ideas or amendments. I would be happy to offer well thought out amendments on behalf of non-delegates.

This is a crucial moment in this process, as the next step is a final vote and then presentation to the regions for approval.

Thanks,
~President Purple State

Articles VII and VIII have been passed and the entire proposed Third Constitution is now nearly set. There is now just under 24 hours remaining for the proposal of amendments to any part of this document, before a final vote and presentation to the regions for the ratification process.

Please, I implore all the citizens of Atlasia, read through the completed documents page (linked in the quoted announcement above) and propose any amendments in this thread or in the Constitutional Convention thread (also linked above). Even if you don't know how to word the amendment properly, provide your thoughts and I will help you out.
