Motion to Expel Senator LouisvilleThunder

Whereas, LouisvilleThunder was credibly accused of doxing another member of Atlasia in 2021

Whereas, new information has been shared with me that shows that LouisvilleThunder’s doxing was both malicious and intentional (see below):











Whereas, LouisvilleThunder was able to escape deserved criminal punishment in part because this information regrettably was never shared with the prosecution because the source of this information had feared retaliation

Whereas, the Atlasian Constitution allows the Senate to discipline members and expel them by a two-thirds vote:

Resolved, that –

(1) The Senate condemns and expels Senator LouisvilleThunder from the Senate for conduct that disrespects the Atlasian people in a way that is not befitting a member of the Senate.

Persuant to Senate Rule, Article I, Section 4, I initiate a Motion of No Confidence against acting PPT LouisvilleThunder for the following reasons:

1. For improper conduct as Deputy PPT. During SB-117-18: Stop the Harassment Act, LouisvilleThunder acting contrary to the Senate rules, attempted to illegally count an amendment vote that was at least 9 hours late to influence the result to his desired outcome (turning a defeat of the amendment into a tie). As Deputy PPT he had to be overruled, and cannot be trusted to act as an impartial PPT.

2. For displaying partisan hubris unbecoming of a PPT.

3. For not resigning his position as acting PPT in order to restore Wulfric to the positon of PPT, when Wulfric only lost the position and he only gained it due to two seperate technicalities.

Should this motion be successful, I intend to nominate Wulfric as PPT.
