In this world where I am elected President, I assume Cincinnatus would take over if I died. Tongue

That is why we have a Vice President, no?

You know the difference between presidential/vice presidential and senatorial elections, don't you? Tongue

Anyway, partisan appointments are against Democracy. Period.

Or was your point that tmth conceded his seat, and that the Officepark appointment was illegal? Smiley

Tmthforu was elected for Mideast regional seat, declined and Governor appointed his (and tmth's) party colleague. Because law does not provide special election on regional level, then I can't see any legal problem (what else, leave seat vacant for entire term? Tongue)

The same situation with Snowguy. When I was elected to the Vice Presidency and Senate, I had to decline my seat, so Governor (Sewer) appointed Snowguy. We all happen to be JCP-ers.

Anyway, I oppose appointments and I don't want this crap to extend on at-large level. Period.

Look at the law I cited. It says the runner-up becomes Senator.

You'd have huge problem to enforce it in Midwest, when I were elected anb then declined, since only runner-up, Svensson, already left for another region.

I'm going to oppose any party selections/appointments for vacant at-large seats. Period.

That's kind of a vague post. Neither of the amendments actually changes whether or not the party appoints the replacement, so I would assume you're not objecting... However, I'll wait for you to clarify just to be certain. Tongue

Both of the amendments have passed as friendly, then.

Not objecting Tongue

Still, bill is piece of crap.
