[Mr. Taft Republican]

2-0, the bill has been passed nd is up for a signature.

[Mr. Taft Republican]

Ahh, well. Legislators introduce things, then there is thiiiis.

1. Each second week in a month, the Emperor shall be required to dedicate part of his time to provide an answers to the questions, citizen may ask in a special thread, the Emperor shall create
2. This Bill doesn't need section 2

Debate!

I'm all for questioning power, but why have it be in a special thread? Why not citizens just go to his office thread?

[Mr. Taft Republican]

     Just to be clear, is this the second full week or the second week to have days fall in the month? If the first day of the month is a Saturday, do I have to bump the thread on the first Sunday?

I think I should offer an amendment to clarify this.


Questioning The Power Bill

1. Each second week in a month, the Emperor shall be required to dedicate part of his time to provide an answers to the questions, citizen may ask in a special thread, the Emperor shall create
2. A special thread shall be opened, or previous thread bumped, on Monday
3. This Bill doesn't need section 3

More specific, but I still think with activity levels its rather unneccesary. Is that all? Shall I open voting?

Also, I should mention that my posting will be somewhat limited, especially on weekends, IRL stuff.

[Mr. Taft Republican]

Heh, maybe the name scares them away.

Darths please vote!
Aye?

[Mr. Taft Republican]

I am ready for the vote. But I have a announcement. I will not be seeking reelection to the Legislature. Its been a wonderfull run, and I am not done. I will be back, maybe here, maybe else where. I have been honored to serve the citizens here, as Speaker, and as a member. Thank you all, and Dave Bless.

You've been a great Darth man.

[Mr. Taft Republican]

     Technically we already have two darths voting, so the voting can be closed now. But you may also want to wait until after the election for that anyway.

Alright, I meant to close it yesterday, but I thought i'd give Kalwjet a chance.

[Mr. Taft Republican]

The bill passes unanimously, up for signature!

[Mr. Taft Republican]

And now behold.

Legislative Vacancy Act

Whenever an Imperial Legislator did not take part in any Legislature business for seven straight days, her or his mandate shall be automatically vacated.

[Mr. Taft Republican]

True true.

I'm for it, if a legislator proves that he is unwilling to put in the work, they can't very well keep the position now, can they?

[Mr. Taft Republican]

     We still have to have a vote on the Legislative Vacancy Act anyway.

Alright then, consider the act open for a vote! Act swifly Darths!

[Mr. Taft Republican]

Well that's all good the bill passes and is up for signing.

[Mr. Taft Republican]

I will be inactive pretty completely until Saturday, just letting you guys know.

[Mr. Taft Republican]

Back! Hmmm, experiencing technical difficulties?

[Mr. Taft Republican]

As, ok, I'll be on the lookout for people as well, as it stands if I'm filling in for a Darth, guess I'll introduce the bill written by our Emperor to ze floor:

Public Notification Bill
1. Upon passage of any bill by the Legislature, the Emperor shall make a post in the Organization for the Advancement of Imperial Interests thread summarizing the bill in question.

2. The post must be made within 72 hours of the law in question entering force.

3. If the Emperor should be away on an official leave of absence for any part of this time, then the Viceroy shall have the authority to make this post.

4. If the Emperor should, for any other reason, fail to make the post within the time alotted, then the Viceroy shall make the post instead at his first convenience, including a note of the Emperor's dereliction of duties.
