Confirmation Hearing for Scott for the Vice Presidency (Confirmed)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

It has been my experience that whenever Scott has through sheer misfortune, or desire to pursue other endeavors, to leave office, we have all been worse off for it.

Scott has thoroughly shown his commitments to the Senate as an institution through years as PPT and has shown dedication to the constitution many times over. I could wax on for hours about years of accomplishments, but they would only serve to expand the long list to which most are already familiar.

The nominee has my support.

Would you seek to utilize the slots allotted as "potentially VP administered" under the rules?

b.) The sixteenth slot shall be reserved for national emergencies and administered by either the President of the Senate or the PPT.

c.) The seventeenth slot shall be reserved for budgetary legislation and administered by either the President of the Senate or the PPT.

d.) The eighteenth and nineteenth slots shall be reserved for the President of the Republic of Atlasia and administered by either the President of the Senate or the PPT.

e.) The twentieth slot shall be reserved for public submissions and shall be introduced by the President of the Senate.

As you very well know, I have been pushing for a split administration to lighten the load since last summer (and frankly going on ten years in one form or another, since I first discussed the idea with the legendary Kalwejt prior to his untimely demise as the last Liberal Party VP, but I digress. The bill for this trip down memory lane will be in the mail. ).

Confirming this result as Senate Dean.

Once Scott swears in, "legitimate administrative authority" passes to VP until the PPT vote is closed.

Tried to read/understand the rules about this, ended up with a headache. If I had more time to dedicate I’d do a complete audit of the chamber rules to see what can be clarified/changed (the way I did with most of the other federal documents lol). As it stands may only have time to submit a few necessary changes.

Not sure what the concern is. We lacked both a PPT and a VP bc of the circumstances. Cao continued to update stuff and I publicly confirmed them to ensure they would not be challenged later.
