Northeast Assembly Thread

[Simfan34]

In light of the resignation of the speaker, I have deemed it appropriate and necessary that I assume the affairs of the Assembly according to my office.

This is effective immediately.

x Lt. Gov. Simfan34

He is not Speaker, as he was not elected under this new Assembly.  We are nominating a new Speaker...

I am referring to homelycooking.

I understand that, but homely was no longer Speaker when he resigned.  So his resignation has nothing to do with you assuming your charge of this Assembly.  I'm not sure if you were aware this is a newly elected Assembly as you were away, but we are currently nominating and then electing a Speaker.

Oh. Yes, right, sorry about that.

In light of the recent changes in the composition of the Assembly, I have deemed it appropriate and necessary that I assume the affairs of the Assembly according to my office.

This is effective immediately.

[Lincoln Republican]

Mr. Lieutenant Governor, if you are going to assume these responsibilities, then please ensure that you are actively engaged in the affairs of the Assembly, so as not to hold up Assembly business due to your absence.

[Cincinnatus]

Mr. Lieutenant Governor, if you are going to assume these responsibilities, then please ensure that you are actively engaged in the affairs of the Assembly, so as not to hold up Assembly business due to your absence.

Or at least give the powers back to the new Speaker once he is nominated/elected. 

[Simfan34]

Mr. Lieutenant Governor, if you are going to assume these responsibilities, then please ensure that you are actively engaged in the affairs of the Assembly, so as not to hold up Assembly business due to your absence.

Duly noted and heeded.

Now, as the Governor noted, it is the legislature's duty to elect a Speaker. Nominations are currently open.

[Cincinnatus]

I nominate snowstalker.  Might as well start a vote.  It appears no one wants to nominate someone.

[Napoleon]

I think Nathan and Scott will be back soon.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I'm back, and I second the nomination of snowstalker.

[Simfan34]

I think Nathan and Scott will be back soon.

How soon? I would like to close the period for nominations soon.

[Cincinnatus]

I think Nathan and Scott will be back soon.

How soon? I would like to close the period for nominations soon.

Nathan is back, and we have one nomination.  Just let us know when you plan to close the nomination stage, even though we might not receive anymore.

[tpfkaw]

I'll nominate myself.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Greetings, gentlemen.

Snowstalker.

[Cincinnatus]

I'll nominate myself.

You just cut right to the chase don't you

I'll nominate myself as well, but if Snowstalker wants to step up, I'll support him.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

I decline to seek the nomination for Speaker.

I nominate Cincinnatus.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I nominate Nathan.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I will accept my nomination, but I myself nominate Scott.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I accept my nomination.

Done.

I'd like to reiterate my acceptance of my nomination and my own nomination of Scott.

[Free Palestine]

I swore in.

[Simfan34]

With all present and having made or not made nominations for Speaker, I think it is appropriate to end the nomination period and proceed with the balloting.

The nominees for Speaker of the Northeast Assembly are Rep. Nathan, Rep. Scott, and Rep. wormyguy

We shall now begin voting. Please cast your vote as promptly as is possible. If there is a tie, I, as Lt. Governor, will be required to cast the deciding vote.
