Northeast Assembly Thread

[k-onmmunist]

I intend to back cinyc for speaker.

[cinyc]

Mr. Lt. Governor, when are we going to hold the speaker vote?

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

Well seeing as how you are the only nominee, I suppose we can declare you the Speaker by acclamation.

Unless you would prefer to hold a formal vote?

We have to hold a vote.  Write-ins are permitted.

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

Ah, I didn't see any constitutional provision regarding how the speaker must be chosen, but you are the veteran at this.



Members of the Assembly, you shall have 24 hours to indicate your preference for Speaker of the Assembly. The vote may also be concluded when all Representatives have voted.

As it has been over 24 hours, cinyc has been elected Speaker by the six active members of the Assembly.

Congratulations to the returning Speaker of the Assembly, cinyc.

[segwaystyle2012]

Congratulations! I'm not expecting to be on tomorrow for the record. I guess the special election results will be a surprise.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

By the way, what about those Representatives who did not take an oath?

[cinyc]

By the way, what about those Representatives who did not take an oath?

They need to take it ASAP.



First order of business, which is carryover business from the last Assembly:

Thanking Resolution

Northeast Assembly is hereby thanking Governor AndrewCT for his longtime and distinguished service for our region and the people.

Sponsor: Rep. Kalwejt

The question is whether the bill should be considered?

The ayes have it.

Debate on this bill will continue until at least 9:05 PM Eastern on Monday, March 1, 2010, unless the debate period is extended or shortened in accordance with the SOAP.

The Sponsor, Representative Kalwejt, has the floor.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Mr. Speaker, fellow Represetatives

As I stated presiously, despite all bitter political/partisian division, Governor Andrew presided over the region for a long time, for better, for worse, leaving enduring footprint in our history. Among his acheivments were a role he played in establishing this body.

Also, I'm sure such resolution would help to ease bitter atmosphere as well.

Thank you and I yell the floor.

[Purple State]

Thank you and I yell the floor.

Only crazy people yell at the floor...

[segwaystyle2012]

Amendments I offer:

#1

Thanking Resolution

Northeast Assembly is hereby thanking Governor FallenMorgan for saving the region from total destruction at the hands of his predecessor.

#2

Thanking Resolution

Northeast Assembly is hereby thanking Lt. Governor Libertas for working extra hard in two branches of government to represent what the people of the region have asked for rather than backing down to the loud and obnoxious opposition.

#3

Thanking Resolution

Northeast Assembly is hereby thanking Antonio V for getting the hell out of here.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Unfriendly. Regardless of our opinions, this was suppoused to be an ocassion to ease tensions.

Also, FallenMorgan and Libertas just took offices and it's early to judge their policies in work. This should not be included in a farewell to longtime NE figure.

Please, more class.

[Hash]

I support Kalwejt's bill and obviously oppose these frivolous petty political amendments.

[k-onmmunist]

Isn't there more important legislation to be getting on with?

[k-onmmunist]

I don't really think we need much of a debate on this. I'll vote Aye.

[cinyc]

I don't really think we need much of a debate on this. I'll vote Aye.

The debate period is 48 hours unless someone moves to shorten it and the chair agrees. 

A vote on any unfriendly amendments will begin at the end of the debate period, and close 24 hours later unless every Representative votes sooner.  A vote on final passage of the resolution will follow the amendment vote and also remain open for 24 hours.

That's how the Assembly rules work.  We only have one thread for all official Assembly business, so we only debate one thing at a time unless someone moves to consider another thing simultaneously.  That motion is subject to a vote.  The few times we've done that, there's been nothing but confusion - again, because we only have one thread for all official Assembly business.

I support Rep. Kaljewt's resolution and am opposed to the proposed amendments.  Andrew CT was our governor for a year, through the highs and lows of the Northeast.   He should be given our thanks.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I request shortening the period of debate.

[Countess Anya of the North Parish]

hey could one of you guys make an amendment that you must be polite in the assembly. And consequences if you aren't. It is just an idea.
