Northeast Assembly Thread

[Napoleon]

I'll nominate Homelycooking, in that case. Though I appreciate the support, I will have to decline any nomination for the position I would rather abolish. Thank you though.

[Napoleon]

At this point we just need someone to do the job properly. I really don't care who.

[Napoleon]

Nay, but I don't think we were working on this at all. I know we weren't.

[Napoleon]

The legislation isn't on the floor is it? I thought it failed. We should either stick to procedure or go back to waiting.

[Napoleon]

We never finished the LT. Governor recommendation but aye on this.

[Napoleon]

I don't think a Constitutional Convention is necessary.

[Napoleon]

I don't think a Constitutional Convention is necessary.

I think it is.

It wouldn't make voters elect capable people. That's the real problem.

[Napoleon]

You don't see how that's true? Um, what? And we have a pprocess for amendments in place so you can try to change what you want.

[Napoleon]

Would a convention legitimately solve that problem?  If not, I can't support one.

[Napoleon]

Alright you guys have convinced me but we need to discuss how one would be set up and hopefully get some more signatures on the recall petition.

[Napoleon]

Nay, too technical and screen shotty.

[Napoleon]

Aye on just provision 5.

[Napoleon]

Per the Constitution, swearing in on Tuesdays following the election is customary for the positions of Lieutenant Governor and Governor. I didn't find anything regarding Assembly elections but I believe precedent is to do the same. There is a swearing in thread somewhere. I'm looking forward to it.

[Napoleon]

After discussing it with some top level advisors, I will seek the position of Speaker.

[Napoleon]

Jake aren't you Lt. Governor?

[Napoleon]

Jake aren't you Lt. Governor?

Temporarily. Just to open the booths and what not.

You'll become Governor if the recall is successful. I don't think there's going to be another election.

[Napoleon]

We should have an older member confirm that so we don't screw up.

[Napoleon]

We should have an older member confirm that so we don't screw up.

Well, if we don't have the election, we may be challenged.

I'm saying don't resign. If Ghostwhite is recalled there would be no Governor.

I know I was unopposed, but I am humbled and honored to have the confidence of my peers. Keep in mind that like many of us, I am still getting the hang of things. I welcome your advice, even your criticism. I hope to use this position to maintain an active and productive Assembly. My office is always open along with my inbox.

Around 9 pm, I will get a start on procedural duties. I'm going to learn the rules to a T in the meantime and look forward to seeing universal participation. As First Consul, the SOAP shall serve as our own Napoleonic code.

Okay, done with the lame jokes.

So "ordered"

[Napoleon]

We will begin an hour early.
Fyi, I will be using Polnut's format as a model, to keep everything as organized as possible. it's easy to get lost in here.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

I move that this be considered by the Assembly, all in favour say 'aye', the ayes have it.

The sponsor, Representative homelycooking, will now speak to the Bill, debate will last 48 hours.

[Napoleon]

I've found nothing that prevents me from doing this, as it's not legislation. Therefore, I call a nominating period for the position of Lieutenant Governor.

I nominate Jake Matthews.

[Napoleon]

Here's the amended version I'm offering.


1. The Assembly hereby creates a temporary Statutory Review Commission (hereafter referred to as SRC) comprised of one to four current Representative(s) of the Northeast.

2. The SRC's member(s) shall be appointed by the Assembly by simple majority vote.

3. The SRC shall be entrusted with preparing a report to the Assembly regarding the following:
a. The establishment of a centralized list of all statute signed into law since January 1, 2004;
b. The relevance, clarity and integrity of all said statute;
c. Whether certain laws in said statute contradict others, or are unconstitutional; and
d. Recommendations for future legislation or amendment of existing legislation intended to rectify problems relating to sections 3b and 3c above.

4. The SRC shall establish a set of guidelines that assign specific duties to each commissioner.

5. The SRC's commission to carry out section 3 above shall expire after the fifteenth calendar day after the SRC commissioner's appointment, unless additional time is granted by a majority vote of the Assembly, on which the SRC shall present its report to the Assembly.

6. The Assembly shall then take action upon the SRC report by accepting and implementing, rejecting or qualifying the recommendations made by the SRC.

7. The SRC’s report will be used to update the Northeast Wiki, to be added by a Northeast citizen with Wiki access privileges.


This project will help us learn the laws of our region and simplify just about everything for future "generations".

[Napoleon]

We will now hold a vote on recommending a Lieutenant Governor.

[Napoleon]

Anyone open to the idea of allowing former Representatives on the commission. Vice President Dallasfan has indicated a desire to be considered.
