Northeast Assembly Thread II

[Talleyrand]

I motion to move this bill to the top of the queue.

[Talleyrand]

Aye

[Talleyrand]

Hey, I'm sick as a dog, have been since this weekend. I'm on my phone now and can't really do much with the voting booth so would you be able to handle opening the voting for the amendment in the booth and a few other things until I can get back in the swing of things and let everyone know I've got the flu. Thanks.

Just received this PM from the Governor, who is unwell and currently unable to fulfil the duties of the office. Per Article 1, Section 12 of the NE Constitution, I will be "Acting Governor" until he returns.

Master at Arms, when can we get a new bill in slot 2? I assume slot 1 will remain occupied by the SOAP bill until the Warden takes action on it?

[Talleyrand]

Very sorry to see you go, Alfred. I hope your computer issues will be resolved soon so you can return to full activity.

Members, please declare your candidacies/nominations here for Speaker.  As Acting Governor, I will open a vote strictly twenty-four hours from now.

I declare my candidacy for Speaker.

[Talleyrand]

Please remember that the Lieutenant Governor [or Acting Governor] cannot be Speaker.

Is that the case? I recall Spenster and Bore were Speaker and Lt. Governor simultaneously in the past, but I will withdraw my candidacy and back Poirot if the rules have since changed.

[Talleyrand]

I will withdraw my candidacy for Speaker and endorse Poirot.

I'll need to update the Wiki soon- it only dates as recently as June in terms of statute.

[Talleyrand]

I accept the nomination for the Speakership, and thank the Governor and Lt. Governor for putting forth my name.

[Talleyrand]

Goldwater, could you open a vote on the speakership ASAP so we can get the Assembly running again?

Out of curiosity, who would perform the role of Speaker if the Speaker took a leave of absence?

The most senior Representative other than the Speaker or LG, I'd assume. At least from the order of precedence.

[Talleyrand]

Thank you very much Barnes.

[Talleyrand]

Since we're already past time for nominations, we might as well do a quick election and get it over with, although perhaps we need to look into UC for future reference.
