Campaign Office of TJ/Tmthforu for the Mideast

[ZuWo]

Thank you for your service! I hope this isn't the last the Mideast has heard of TJ.

[Gass3268]

Hope you have a pleasent retirement.

[TNF]

I have enjoyed working with you even if we rarely see eye-to-eye. Enjoy your retirement, comrade.

[Sopranos Republican]

You've fought well, TJ! I hope one day you will serve Atlasia once again! Until then enjoy retirement.

[TJ in Oregon]

It's time to clear the thick layer of dust off my old campaign office for my Mideast Gubernatorial campaign! During the campaign, the other office will contain official announcements relating to the Office of Mideast Governor while this office will contain campaign information.

To celebrate the re-opening, I'll be unveiling the campaign's banner!

Why on Earth did you use Algerian?

I'm sorry Mr Governor, but I have something in my utmost concern. In the Assembly thread I noticed these two quotes:

Seeing no objection, the motion is carried.

The speaker seems to have taken a vacation, so therefore I nominate myself as a temporary speaker until the next elections.

Now I am far from an expert on Constitutions, but I do know that NINE HOURS is no where near enough of time for other Assemblymen for any "objections". Back in the IDS, when I was acting speaker, I recall there was an approval for it. Now I do not know whether this is criminal, or I'm just the raging idiot flailing into your office, but I would consider some insight on this.

We don't actually have a written procedure for removing a speaker or appointing a new one. The only officially prescribed procedure for electing a speaker is written for the start of a term. Given the lack of a textual requirement, the Speakership is left up to the Assembly's discretion. The Constitution specifically grants the Assembly the power to choose its officers. Certainly if I were an Assemblyman I would want to at least see some sort of consensus subsequent to the declaration of a change in Speakership. However, if the other Assemblymen recognize Hifly's proclaimed role of Speaker and pass legislation under his leadership by a majority vote, I will consider it passed and either sign or veto it accordingly.

Oh okay. Thank you Mr. Governor

Thank God. Maybe the rest of the regions and the game will follow suit.

Remember to vote!!

Especially if you're planning to vote for me

[Senator Spiral]

Governor, this passed earlier. Are you going to be signing it into law?

[Hifly]

Yes I forgot to mention that.

Amendments don't get signed or vetoed by the governor; we'll have to approve (or disapprove) by referendum. By law the referendums may only begin on Thursdays, so it will have to wait until next week.

I obviously support it if that's what you're asking
