6 month term

[Gustaf]

I support Demrep on this...4 moth terms seem good to me, and NO term limits...even though it would gurantee everyone to be president sooner or later...

gotcha, you think we limit the number of representatives per state? so 2 CA, 2 MA etc

No need to limit who can serve from which state. Maybe if the forum were bigger and we had members from ALL states. But I think the MAIN goal....is to simply have a legislative body...and I think it should be called the Senate....because being called a Senator is more cool than being called a Congressman. And besides.....Senators are more presitgious.

They have a uni-cameral House in Nebraska you know......and it's called a Senate. Even in the Star Wars movies...if you've ever watched them...they had a Galatic Senate...and an Imperial Senate...although the Imperial one didn't last long because Emperor Palpatine wanted to have more power...so he dissolved the body and...he.........ok......I'm really letting my "nerd" side show....

Don't worry, we're used to it...

How about we have one is three months and another on the day of the election? It seems like a better parallel, as well as keeping elections often enough.

I participate in another Political RPG, and we have elections every two months. Considering that in that game there are 12 MPs, four ministers, a President, VP and strong roleplaying community, and a set of mods who constantly bring new challenges into the game, I have to say that if that can get a bit boring this will certainly become so.

Seriously, if we just have a Pres, and VP, and an election every four months it'll be pretty boring.

That is why i urge you to vote for Plan C in the POSITIONS thread, so that the game remains vibrant, interesting and fun.

I think what you're missing is the fact that this is a side thing - the main purpose of this forum is not to hold fantasy elections, which is why we shouldn't overdo this.
