I don't think it's any secret that Napoleon and I are not on good terms, but I am with him on this. Your comment here is nothing but trolling.

This law has been passed by the Senate and was just signed by President Polnut.
Here is the text:Section 1, clause 2 is the part in question. Is it really constitutional for a political party to appoint a Senator for a full term? The constitution states:
Article I, S 4, c. 5

I believe that the "concession" does in fact, constitute a vacancy. Certainly this is he case if the seat is not filled by the start of the new Senate. Does anyone agree that a suit against this law may be in order?

     I wouldn't think a concession would necessarily constitute a vacancy, since whoever held the seat before still holds it. In fact, if the appointment is made before the first Friday of the next month, then the seat would clearly not be vacant since it was never left vacated.

     The big issue arises if the appointment is not made before the date the duly-elected Senator would have sworn in.

I'm not certain that this could be applied to any of the current Senator's terms. If applied at all, it would have to be applied to people elected under the new law. At least that's my read.
