Northeast Assembly Thread II

[Poirot]

I have found two bills that contained:
The Lieutenant Governor shall not serve at any other position within the Northeast Government

one by kalwejt and one sirnick but one was tabled and the other did not pass.

I have found the Improving the chain of command bill which deals with what happens in case of inactivity for offices.
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=172000.msg3702749#msg3702749

It states what happens if the Lt Governor and speaker is the same person and becomes inactive. That was the solution to avoid the assembly being paralysed.

I haven't found something that explicitly forbids a person holding the two positions yet. If someone knows the act or amendment, please let us know so we are aware of it.

If Talleyrand is not a candidate anymore tomorrow I think we should skip the formal vote and I will post a bill to debate. I think the next one is sponsored by Talleyrand so be ready to advocate for it.     

[Poirot]

I've put a new bill of for debate. I think the next one was Animal protection Act. If there were older bills on the waiting list, please point it out.

I think Sirnick was appointed but he still needs to swear in if he wants to vote in the assembly.

I have two unresolved issues and if we know the answers it would halp in the future.

Does the warden need to sign the soap amendment or the assembly vote is enough?
What is the law that would prevent the lieutenant governor from being speaker.

[sentinel]

I was appointed? Where?

[bore]

Just ftr both the SOAP and the constitution on the wiki are the up to date versions.

[Poirot]

I was appointed? Where?

I thought I read it, that there was one still one seat vacant. Perhaps I dreamt it... it is fantasy boards after all!

[Poirot]

I have a question on thread topic title for bills. As speaker, do I need to change title line when we are at a vote, I mean write (final vote) in the thread title?

And when the assembly has voted on a bill, do I need to put (ratified) (passed) or (failed) (rejected) at the end of the title line.

Yes. That is precedent, regardless its extremely helpful.

[PJ]

I strongly urge the Northeast to create a regional park system. This has been accomplished in the Pacific, and is currently being considered in the Midwest and IDS.

[Poirot]

It's time to open a final vote on a bill but since the election results have been certified I am not sure if I can do it, if my role ends with the election results or until the swearing in of Cincinnatus.

Anywa you will need to choose a new speaker.

[Earthling]

I will be a candidate for Speaker of the Assembly.

[sentinel]

I nominate Talleyrand for Speaker.

[Poirot]

hmm, isn't the speaker chosen by the assembly so the governor doesn't vote or nominate someone ?

Speaker is chosen by the Assembly. I'm unofficially nominating Talleyrand if you want to be technical about it.

[Goldwater]

I second the nomination of Talleyrand.

[Talleyrand]

I accept the nomination for the Speakership, and thank the Governor and Lt. Governor for putting forth my name.

[Talleyrand]

Goldwater, could you open a vote on the speakership ASAP so we can get the Assembly running again?

[sentinel]

This is a reoccuring problem, no one knowing who opens the election for Speaker. None of you are to blame, its just a thing. Dallasfan65 proposed during his confirmation hearing that we give him, the CJO, the power to do just that. I've proposed an Amendment based on his suggestion.

[Poirot]

The Lieutenant governor opens a new session with the election of speaker. I think that has been done in the past. I don't know if there are rules when it's during the session. It could be added to the lieutenant governor's job.

It might be good to name more than one people, or make it any representative in order of seniority, if a specific person is assigned to do a task.

I found the Northeast Assembly Speaker Act (I imagine it's still valid). It could be a place to add precisions on vote proceeding.

My Amendment fixes the problem for when the Lieutenant Gov and Speaker were the same person.

You're best off attaching this amendment to the SOAP.  FTR, precedent suggests that the Lt. Governor would open this vote, as they're technically the head of the Assembly.

[Goldwater]

I apologize for opening this late. Voting will last 72 hours, or until all Representatives have voted.

Why isn't my name on the ballot? I announced to be a candidate even before you two promoted Talleyrand for the job. I see this as a deliberate attempt by the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor to push their man forward. This hardly democratic. But not that much of a suprise.
