The Imperial Dominion of the South's Legislature

[CatoMinor]

In the name of speediness, I Jbrase, being of sound mind and body, do hereby officially and explicitly announce that I shall support Sanchez for speaker. The ball is now in your court Mr. Viceroy.

[CatoMinor]

I have enjoyed my time here in the IDS Regional Governemnt, as a Governor, an Emperor, I think even Attorny General for a few minutes, and finally as a legislator. Its been great orking with you all but now I am off to Nyman D.C. to spread our Cultural Revolution of Awesomness

I hereby resign

X Jbrase

[CatoMinor]

What is the point of the house of Jbrase though? We do not need another form of government because the legislature is enough

Its not another Government. Traditionally Emperors and the like belonged to certain houses. As the regions 1st Emperor I established the House of Jbrase with membership open to anyone. PiT and Yankee (I think) are both members. If PiT had wished he could have established his own house, or any Emperor following him. Its all in good fun and helps keep the IDS unique.

With that said, I would love to see the legislature pass this in the form Yelnoc proposed with the typos PiT mentioned fixed.

[CatoMinor]

It is a little late now, but I just remembered The IDS Legislature forgot to do its part with the confirmation of Yelnoc. Remember the "Our Opinions Matter Dag Nabbit! Act" ?

Well I guess it doesn't mention specifically when the vote should be held. I just figured It would be held before the senate voted on the nominee, so our opinions could be heard beforehand.

[CatoMinor]

Something the IDS should tackle PDQ is the ridiculously severe drought in Texas and Georgia. Declare states of emergency and such. I was planning on drafting some emergency relief bill but have gotten around to it yet. 

- You're friendly neighborhood Senator whom you should all vote to re-elect

[CatoMinor]

I vote aye

[CatoMinor]

Why not just pass a rule "No individual legislator may vote more than once on any vote in the Legislature."

[CatoMinor]

ah

[CatoMinor]

Aye

[CatoMinor]

This does not count for federal elections. only IDS elections

[CatoMinor]

Hmm, I'll try and re-write it as an amendment and bring it up to amend the bill then.

[CatoMinor]

Representative Duke claims to be a champion of southern people. To that I have this to say:

Below is a map of the south.

The dark red are southern states that can participate in southern elections. The light red are southern states that may not. In Duke's fight for southern rights, he prevents a full 31% of the south from participating in southern elections. Now I will admit that carpet baggers are a valid concern but one that can be fixed by changing a bit of the language in the bill.

[CatoMinor]

the EVC doesn't have a PR option

[CatoMinor]

How about Kansas? While we're at it, the Dakota's and Mormon triangle!

*facedesk*

[CatoMinor]

Yel, how does this sound? plus this should get rid of some of Duke's nightmares about carpetbaggers under his bed

     On further thought, I'll almost certainly veto any version of this bill that does not incorporate Mideast Governor ZuWo's suggestion. As Adam Griffin pointed out, this would just lead to our elections being subverted by Midwestern plants angling for a hostile takeover of the region.

The amendment version I introduced a few posts up has it.

[CatoMinor]

I withdraw my bill.

[CatoMinor]

I shall support this bill.

[CatoMinor]

I doubt the cost will be much and the entire rig is designed to be able to float to wherever they want.

[CatoMinor]

Well it seems we are all in agreement here, I move to take this to a final vote.

[CatoMinor]

aye

[CatoMinor]

I offer the following amendment.
