Partisan selection of delegates for Constitutional Convention.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

     Reading the bill, it sounds like people can nominate themselves for consideration here. Should we post a thread on the main AFE board asking for people to do so?

As the author of the section in question, I can confirm that the bill was intended to allow citizens and party leaders to nominate candidates for consideration.

I think that only Senators can nominate.

I like RPryor's proposal. I'd suggest to insert TPP in the centrist category and NNP in the progressive category. Then I think we should nominate candidates that were not elected in the election and in this case, Independents should be included among centrists.

     So do we wait until after the elections to vote? I think that would work in terms of getting the people we want to get.

That's ok with me, but it's a little strange. Having TPP/NNP is not a problem, but the problem might be the presence of independents.
I'd be ok with independents in the centrist category, but rules that we have approved do not require to have independents selected by the Senate. I'd prefer having independents in, but there is the danger that someone will doubt about the validity of ConCon only because we inserted an independent and the rules don't require that.

Right now, the biggest threat to the Con-Con's validity in the eyes of the public is that there are too few independents.

Also, I could have sworn that CC was a delegate early on...

Classic was elected as a delegate from the Pacific, but he recently moved to the South (and thus forfeited his seat).

I nominate Pikachu (Lab-NE) to fill the vacancy created by the de-registration of Evergreen.

PROGRESSIVE DELEGATE:
