Aye for Scott's appointment.

Please clarify why we have to vote on this since he won the Senate election.

Napoleon vacated his seat upon swearing in as Governor.  Therefore, the seat is currently vacant because Senators won't swear in for a while.

Thank you.  I was not sure when Senators swear in.

The Ayes are 3, Nays 0, with 1 non-voting abstention on Scott's confirmation.  He is successfully confirmed. 

We will not vote for Speaker. This vote will last 24 hours, or until all members have voted;

The voting period is over.  Cincinnatus is elected Speaker.

Our first order of business will be to officially confirm Napoleon and homelycooking for the Wiki Reform Commission.  Please vote Aye or Nay for each official.  This vote will last 24 hours.


Aye on Napoleon
Aye on homely

All members have voted.  The Ayes are 4, Nays are 0, and non-voting abstentions are 0.  Homely and Napoleon are confirmed.

The Assembly will now consider the legislation introduced by the Governor.  Debate will last 48 hours.

Hopefully, I have overlooked all mistakes. Id like to make sure we get such a big change right the first time. Smiley

Hopefully this SOAP will be followed entirely this time. Tongue

Remember that it might be ideal to include a provision that would allow the Assembly to table rogue legislation.

Requesting and granting a 24 hour extension of debate time. 

I do have several points to make when I come back, sorry for the delay.

We'll be cluttering the regional board Smiley

Why not just vote on all amendments when debate is over?  It seems to be working well as of now..

Finally.. why not incorporate this, which I think is better.

1. I disagree. This change will make it easier to follow legislation and easier to update the Wiki. If people think this board is cluttered they can petition the Mideast to change their ways.

2. Because I think debates should last longer and be more like the Senate. The way it is now, there are competing amendments and what not.

3. Yeah, I'm for giving the Speaker more freedom to adjust debate times and have longer, more thorough debates when needed.

Are these three amendments acceptable, Napoleon?

The only rule regards the time of extension, and shortening.

Maybe make it "no single extension", and have a mechanism to force a vote if two representatives motion to.

More like this..perhaps?  And the mechanism if two motions occur would be the Speakers ability to deny one of them..

Sorry, I have been engrossed in Mitt's campaign, but now that Arizona and Michigan have voted, way to go Mitt Smiley, I will try to pay more attention to Assembly affairs.

I agree with the proposal for the most part, but I don't know that a separate thread for each piece of legislation is warranted.  Myself, I would be content to deal with the legislation, piece by piece, in the Assembly thread.

We're nearing the end of debate time here.  What is going to be friendly, and what do we need to vote on?

3.  Not a formally proposed amendment, but a topic of discussion.

2. Section 3, Subsection B seems needlessly complicated and time-consuming. I would prefer to continue voting on amendments when debate is over.
