Northeast Assembly Thread

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I have no issues with this bill or amendments to offer and will be voting aye.

Now, I approve of the purpose of this text.  I to want an election to fill the seat, instead of an appointment.  However, I don't think the law allows for this.  I think the only lawful alternative would be a governor appointment on the recommendation of the people, or the Assembly.

The Senator would need to be approved by the Assembly, so it is on our recommendation technically.

This is not what the bill does.  The bill in its current text, provides a special election, and no appointment by the Governor.  While, the constitution clearly states Class A vacancies shall be appointed by a regions Governor.  Thus, that is why I recommended having the Assembly or people make a recommendation to remain within the confines of our constitutional ability.

Senator Napoleon has told me they passed a constitutional amendment that lets the regions decide how to handle vacancies.

Can I have a cite so I can fully support this bill?

How's this?

Come on don't make me do everything around here.

I'll have no problem supporting this.  Thanks for doing the heavy lifting, as I had no motivation at the time to look it up (Or remember a very recent amendment for that matter ).  Plus, I tend to forget that we have a tendency not to update the wiki

Of course, I still wouldn't mind if you addressed the Assembly on your bill.  I need a speech Senator, I need a speech.  How else am I to spike any interest in this Assembly  

[Napoleon]

Speech: I believe in democracy and you should too. Thank you.

How's that?

Fantastic.  I'm still in awe of such charisma

[Lambsbread]

What's good fellas?

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

I fully support this bill, my only concern being that it might still be a good idea for the governor to make interim appointments (if we can get those to be apolitical that would be good, but probably far easier said than done for obvious reasons) until special elections can be held.

[Lambsbread]

Now down to business.

I support the bill currently being debated solely on the premise that there is no other logical alternative.

[Cincinnatus]

Debate has ended.  The Assembly will now vote on the bill in question.  Voting will last 24 hours.  The final bill reads as follows;

Senate Vacancy Act

If a vacancy should arise for the Northeast Senate seat, a special election shall take place to fill the vacancy. The Governor shall open the polling booth within one week of the vacancy occurring. The victor shall be seated immediately.

If there is less than four weeks left of the term when the vacancy occurs, the Governor may forgo the special election and appoint a Senator subject to confirmation by the Legislative Assembly.

Additionally, if anyone has any bills (Hopefully someone who hasn't introduced any) put them in the introduction thread, and they'll be introduced next.  If not, I'll find something to bring to the floor

[Cincinnatus]

Aye

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Aye.

[Lambsbread]

Aye.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Aye

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

Aye.

[tpfkaw]

Nay

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

Nay

Have you ever voted Aye to anything? At all?

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

He voted for some of my bills.  I don't see why anyone would have any major objections to this bill, though.

He's voting Nay because Napoleon wrote it I'd imagine.

Most likely.

[tpfkaw]

No, I just prefer having appointments for vacancies.  I would oppose this whether it were written by Napoleon or Morgan.
