Nomination of Wxtransit for Secretary of State

[wxtransit]

The NSC is essential to strategizing and formulating our foreign policy. Historically we've deliberated with the State Department on a private Discord server, with the SoS scheduling meetings for appointed members.

Back when I was originally SOS and during my time on the NSC before that, I believe our meetings were held on Discord as well, often as a channel of the Administration's server. Given the rapidly changing nature of foreign policy and the large number of people I would be contacting if confirmed, using Discord seems like the only realistic option.

Yes. This was how we dealt with the Korean situation under my administration.

I'm going to be honest, I forgot I was your SOS at the tail end

Honestly I didn't remember either, I was referring to Lumine's time as SOS.

Anyway, I believe we have no need to press further. Transit has gone above and beyond here to demonstrate his competence in these matters. I second Cao's motion to have a full vote immediately.

Gotcha, I was thinking "I'm pretty sure the Korean ordeal was over by the time I was there"

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

There has not been an NSC since the Pericles administration so I would be quite surprised if one was actually established.

This isn't true, I just haven't publicly announced it.

I appreciate the announcement

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Didn't this happen before where someone thought there wasn't an NSC when there actually was back in like 2017?

Prior to discord, the NSC was conducted on Mibbit back to the Blair administration.

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

Mr Vice President, you need to open up the vote if we want to address the foreign policy issues as soon as possible.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Nothing in the Constitution that says that only the Vice President can open confirmation votes. I will do so in 24 hours barring an objection.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Hearing no objection, a vote on the nominee is now open. Senators, please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.
