No, actually. Confirmation of Scott as Senator and the nomination period for the Speaker position should begin immediately.

Hopefully, I have overlooked all mistakes. Id like to make sure we get such a big change right the first time. Smiley

1. I disagree. This change will make it easier to follow legislation and easier to update the Wiki. If people think this board is cluttered they can petition the Mideast to change their ways.

2. Because I think debates should last longer and be more like the Senate. The way it is now, there are competing amendments and what not.

3. Yeah, I'm for giving the Speaker more freedom to adjust debate times and have longer, more thorough debates when needed.

Maybe make it "no single extension", and have a mechanism to force a vote if two representatives motion to.

To be fair,  only me, you and Wormy have prior Assembly experience.

Nay.

The increasing partisanization of the role of Speaker and the marginalization of the assembly in favor of the executive are not trends that ought to be encouraged.

Please explain how the Assembly is being marginalized in favor of the executive.

Giving governor-introduced legislation (a bad idea in and of itself) priority over assembly-introduced legislation.

Governors have always been able to introduce legislation. Dedicating one of three slots to that purpose has no net negative effect on the Assembly's ability to pass legislation. I even reduced gubernatorial power by removing the executive from the amendment process.

You should check out the Old Constitution because you have been misinformed. This does not interfere with Assembly-introduced legislation relative to the status quo. I don't understand where you are coming from with your rubber stamp claim.

I will refer the Assembly to Article V, Section xi of the old Constitution for verification of my accuracy. I do not appreciate being called a liar.

All amendments have passed and will be incorporated.  The Assembly will now vote on the final text.  This vote will last 24 hours, or until all members have voted.

Why have you cut off voting before all members have voted?

24 hours have passed.

We need to pass the budget amendment and pass a budget procedure law still. Then we can pass a budget.

Nix, would you like the position? You'd have my endorsement.
Also, shouldn't that special election to fill wormy's seat start up soon?

No, as wormy is still a Representative.

Congratulations on your likely victory, Nix. Oh, and what Winfield said (wormyguy was actually the first person I voted for to the Speaker position).

Quote from: Severe Simfan34 on May 10, 2012, 06:40:30 AM
Northeast High Speed Rail Act

1. The Northeast Region shall establish a high speed rail authority to develop, construct and maintain a High Speed Rail network.
2. This system shall reach the major cities of the region.
3. The average speed of the network's trains shall not fall below 200 miles per hour.
4. A minimum of half all of all funding should come from non-public sources.
This should be dismissed as frivolous. All major cities in the region are connected with high speed rail already and were paid for through federal funding I sought as Senator.

The only majority in this chamber will be an active, friendly, responsible majority. Every representative cares about the vulnerable in our society and reforming the region. That is what makes the Northeast so great. Smiley

Winfield University? Smiley

Hey Congrats on the Yale recognition, Representative. Your service as Governor was admirable and influential on my administration.

The next election starts on August 17th, so you'll be out for the remainder of the term. I suggest that you resign from the Speakership several days before your departure and call a vote on your successor.
He should resign his seat too (though it wouldn't be a problem to run in that election).
