Indeed not. You're perfectly free to get a Senator to introduce it for you, though.



I only just noticed that opening language there... I suppose Dwtl didn't commit a crime after all. Sad

It would make you happy if I had committed a crime?  Kind of depressing

It would conform to my sense of right and wrong, and affirm my belief in a form of order in the universe. It would, in short, restore me to hozro (or hohzho or whatever spelling you prefer). Tongue

In order to have committed a crime, you must be a person who may have to be called upon to determine the validity of the vote.  As I am neither SoFA nor Deputy SoFA, the law does not apply to me.

You could make a convoluted argument that as a Senator you are in a position to determine the validity of the vote as the Senate can (in practice at least) choose not to seat members by having fun with expulsions and so on...

The argument, while valid to an extent, would certainly not hold up in court.  In that case any citizen would be able to determine the validity of a vote as they could recall their governor.

If the thing ever went to a trial, you would have had to hope for Opebo as presiding judge... hard.

     I always knew about the requirement of the act, but I was confused by it. What it seemed to imply made the act virtually useless.

Yeah. I'm not sure the Senators voting on it noticed either - there wasn't any debate.

I haven't really been paying any attention to them, to be honest.

1. The Republic of Atlasia donates this grand statue of former Governor King of the Bench Press, who unfortunately passed away recently, to the Southeast Region to be placed in their capital of Memphis, TN.
2. A rendering of the statue:

3. Construction of the statue shall commence once formally accepted by the Governor of the Southeast.

There's been a movement for sometime to move the capital of the Southeast to Charleston. But if we build the statue in Memphis, surely they wouldn't move.

I was just thinking that Memphis is a pretty lame choice for capital.

Ah, thank you so much!  I was fearing my bill to this might fail in the senate that did not appreciate KoTBP's greatest.  Even if we move the capital, we certainly could leave the statue there is a rememberance of his governorship.

Or you can donate it to the Mideast. It would be greatly appreciated.....after all....our police force does need target practice every now and then....
