S.20.3.1: Election of a Governor (Completed)

[Pericles]

I no longer believe this can be called a free election given that their has been obvious meddling from outside the Chamber, and as such I will not be casting a vote. I think the entire process needs to be redone.

Moreso than anything else, the autonomy of the Chamber must be recognized by everyone. From the lowest citizen to the President themselves.

No legislative chamber operates free from outside comment and opinions.

Interestingly if the the President was actually capable and picked an active and competent VP in the first place, this vote to replace the Governor wouldn't have been required. He then wouldn't have felt the need to abuse a former president of good standing for voting ones conscience and undermine the sovereignty of this chamber.

1. ?!
2. "voting ones conscience" attacking the will of the people
3. holding legislators to account, as they deserve.

I thought we'd settled the matter, but the Federalists still think they are entitled to be free from criticism and attack for their decisions. That is not how it works anywhere, not in the game and certainly not in any real-life legislature.

You threw the F bomb at him amongst other coarse remarks, that isn't a justifiable level of criticism.

Stop being so precious.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

1. TimTurner
2. Thumb21

If you cannot say it on Atlas without getting modded then it is not justifiable criticism be it on discord or elsewhere.
