Scott is speaker.

[Lambsbread]

Alrightie let's get this session going

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Thank you very much for the opportunity to be your Speaker.  I am happy to announce that tonight, my power has finally been restored and we're back to business.

If I am not mistaken, I believe The Anti-Conscription Act is the first legislation that is to be brought up for this session.  Debate will last for 48 hours.

Anti-Conscription Act

1) The government of the Northeast region may not conscript it's citizens, whether for military or civil purposes.

2) The Northeast Assembly affirms that conscription is a form of forced labor, and thus should not be allowed in any progressive society.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

On this legislation, personally I support this wholeheartedly.  My only concern is that this bill might be challenged in the courts if this conflicts with federal law.

[Cincinnatus]

I won't be making any long winded arguments, as I have several times explained my position on conscription.  I will simply mention, that I plan to vote Aye for this text.

[tpfkaw]

I of course support this bill.  Minor change I'd suggest - since the second part is a statement rather than a binding act, this bill should be a Binding Resolution, not an Act.

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

I'd like to introduce an amendment to remove the apostrophe from section 1.

I fully support this bill.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Also, on an unrelated note... do we have a Lieutenant Governor?

[Napoleon]

Congrats Scott

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Thank you, Napoleon.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I'd like to introduce an amendment to remove the apostrophe from section 1.

I fully support this bill.

Is that a serious amendment proposal?   Otherwise, I would like to carry this to a vote.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Nathan is correct; the correct word would be its (it's implies possession).

I'll hop out of this now.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Then I should ask Morgan: is this amendment friendly or unfriendly?

[Free Palestine]

I'm so sorry for my absence.  I didn't know I was reelected. 

Nathan's amendment is deemed friendly by me, yes.  Grammar my sucks.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Excellent.  Members will now cast their votes on the legislation.  This will be a 24-hour vote.

Anti-Conscription Act

1) The government of the Northeast region may not conscript its citizens, whether for military or civil purposes.

2) The Northeast Assembly affirms that conscription is a form of forced labor, and thus should not be allowed in any progressive society.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Aye.

[Free Palestine]
