2011 Northeast Assembly Speaker Election Ballot

[ ] Wormyguy (Populares-MA)

[ ] Write-in:_______________

Please cast your vote for ONE (1) Member of the Northeast Assembly that you wish to be Speaker of the Assembly. If you choose to write-in someone, that person must approve the vote otherwise the vote will be rendered void. Do not edit your post 20 minutes after submitting your vote, otherwise it will be rendered void. Happy voting!

Hold the phone dude. You don't have any authority to do this.

I checked the Constitution, and the Gov/Lt Gov swear-in following the election. I have PMed Rowan outlining the situation to him and asking him to swear-in, and hopefully he obliges. Elsewise, Governor Ghost can conduct the vote.

Yep, sorry eager beaver...

But I was checking the provisions just as Dallas wrote this...

I guess I get a bit too excited to help sometimes

Who else do we need? FallenMorgan, Ghost_white, Rowan and Napoleon?

FallenMorgan and maybe Napoleon are the only ones likely to swear in, for obvious reasons.

I talked to Napoleon recently and he didn't even know what the assembly does. He said he wrote himself in because he didn't know anyone on the ballot.

True enough, but you didn't show me where it said I got elected or tell me where I needed to go. I found it on my own though.

Alrightie, the poll has closed and there is a clear consensus in favor of Wormy.

Mr. Speaker:



Let's get this underway

[tpfkaw]

I'm flattered, but you can't close the poll...

[Lambsbread]

I wasn't closing the poll, it was closed anyway, it automatically closes after 48 hours.

[Rowan]

Jake Matthews, while I appreciate your enthusiasm, there are procedures here.

That being said, as Lt. Governor of the Northeast I declare Wormyguy the duly elected speaker of the Northeast Assembly. Congratulations.

[tpfkaw]

Thank you, Lt. Governor!

With that, I'll introduce the first bill of the new legislative session (an amendment to the Northeast Constitution):

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Sponsor: Rep. wormyguy

The question is whether the amendment should be considered?

The ayes have it.

Debate shall continue until February 28, 2011, 12:24 PM EST, unless debate is extended or shortened in accordance with the SOAP.

The sponsor, wormyguy, has the floor.

[tpfkaw]

Recently, much has been made of possible "inactivity" on the part of the Governor or Regional Senator.  I believe that amending the constitution by allowing a recall election should the Governor or Senator become inactive, would resolve this issue and ensure that the Northeast remain an active region.

[Lambsbread]

May I have the floor?

[tpfkaw]

When it's debate you always have the floor.  (In fact, you can even speak before the sponsor of the bill if you so feel like it).

[Lambsbread]

Colleagues, I believe that it is in our best interests to pass this bill. Campaign after campaign we worry about whether or not we will have an active leader elected to office. As Speaker Wormy said, we must create a more active Northeastern Government. Many a debate have been sparked in an attempt to fix the problem of inactivity, so here is our solution. I urge everyone to vote aye on this bill and strictly enforce it. Thank you.

[Rowan]

What if the Senator or Governor has declared a leave of absence?

[Lambsbread]

What if the Senator or Governor has declared a leave of absence?

That's a different story. But if a Governor or Senator is continually taking leaves of absences, then they probably shouldn't be an elected official.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

There's already a recall amendment...

[tpfkaw]

There's already a recall amendment...

To the previous constitution.

[Barnes]

Just to help you guys out, this is in the Constitution:

Article V

I kind of remember debate about repealing this back when I was in the NE Govt. so you might want to see if it's still in force.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

Actually, the New Northeast Constitution was ratified in '06 and the recall amendment was passed in '07.
