The Imperial Dominion of the South's Legislature

[Associate Justice PiT]

Doesn't the Southeast have a recall? Recall this tb75 dude...

     In an underpopulated region dominated by the Atlasians of yesteryear, it's nice to have a newbie who is enthusiastic about holding office. Not to mention he messed up on a minor point of a pretty new law. It's not like he was talking about diplomatic relations with Franco or war with Canada.

It's pretty apparent he is just trolling...

     Then it should be easy for you to find someone to launch a recall petition.

The election shall occur

     Didn't Governor Jbrase already appoint SPC's replacement?

I did, as soon as deldem swears in it'll be offcial.

Never mind then

[Deldem]

     I, deldem, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the Southeast against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me Dave.

[CatoMinor]

Welcome back!

[Dancing with Myself]

We need to get started again.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I'm perfectly fine with getting started again. Where were we when we left off?

[CatoMinor]

informally debating Nuevas Tejas

[Deldem]

I think Nuevas Tejas is unnecessary. There's no compelling reason to make it. Unless you could tell me how things would be improved by splitting Texas, I can't support doing so.

[Associate Justice PiT]

Ahem, I believe that this bill is dead.  Unless Governor JBrase has some other compelling argument, could we perhaps go ahead and take a vote?

     This was actually not an official debate period, since there was talk about putting it up to a referendum straightaway. Either way, I'd hope to see some action taken soon, so that the Legislature can get back on track. We don't want this to become the Southeast of early 2008 again.

[Dancing with Myself]

If the Governor agrees we can start the vote process.

[Barnes]

Is there actually a bill for this?

[Associate Justice PiT]

Is there actually a bill for this?

     Yes, there is. However, there was talk about proposing it as an initiative instead, for reasons that I cannot immediately recall. I could look back through the thread to find out, but that's not something I'd get around to tonight.

Thanks. But please make sure that there is a section that sends this bill/referendum/whatever to the Senate for approval, it there isn't, and it''s passed and signed, I will take legal action.

It covers it. you asked about this already, remember?

To split Texas into two states, you might need authorization from the Senate, as stated in Article IV, Section 2, Clause 2:

the bill covers that, after the region agrees upon it then a request is sent to the senate

I guess the bill will voted on, but when?

I remember, I just haven't seen an actual bill.

We need to get back in track

[Associate Justice PiT]

We need to get back in track

     Strongly agreed. Since Governor Jbrase has not actually opened a voting booth on the Nueva Tejas bill despite the time that has passed since he pitched the idea of doing so, let's just go ahead & act on it.

[Dancing with Myself]

The vote is open for 24 hours.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Nay.

[Deldem]

Nay

[CatoMinor]

aww, well I had to try.

[Associate Justice PiT]

aww, well I had to try.

     You can always petition for a referendum.

[Dancing with Myself]

The Vote is 3 Nays and 0 yays. The bill is defeated. On to more business.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I re-introduced SPC's bill that failed to attain a quorum earlier. Hopefully we can get it passed now.
