The Imperial Dominion of the South's Legislature

[Adam Griffin]

^Ditto to that.

I'll be gone for a few days on a camping expedition, and then I guess I'll be sworn into the senate after that, so... yeah. Hopefully I'll be able to drop in a bit from my phone, but I can't make any promises.

So with that being said, I just want to thank everyone for being so welcoming here. I know I haven't been a part of this body for months and months, but I really enjoyed working with all of you. It's been great. Now go get that education bill passed.

Enjoy camping and the Senate! I only hope we have someone as dedicated as you to fill your seat.

[CatoMinor]

Congrats on getting into the Senate


The bill passes unanimously! We now await PiT to sign/veto

[Associate Justice PiT]

     On the the Livestock Quality Assurance Act: by the powers vested in me as Emperor of this region, I thus sign it into law.

     Be it resolved, X Emperor PiT

[CatoMinor]

Let the debate commence!

Did this not pass prior?

[Donerail]

Did this not pass prior?

It didn't pass with this being the new flag; this is it as the Imperial Standard. Since this has the changes to it that I supported, I support it.

[CatoMinor]

In case anyone wasn't sure, I support this

[Associate Justice PiT]

     FTR, I incorporated SJoyceFla's suggestions in the original debate for this, and Adam Griffin's suggestions for the last Revolutionary Act. I just didn't think the middle one was very workable.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I oppose. We don't need JBrase's name enshrined upon our coat of arms. If anything, it should be my name, as the Dirty South was dead before my overlords and I took over, nursed it back to health, left the union and then returned before naming it the Dirty South and making it a region to be reckoned with. If anything, he rode my coattails

But I oppose having any governor's name on our coat of arms really. One man does not represent an entire people. This is the coat of arms for the IDS/DS, not of JBrase's house or family.

By my understanding, the Coat of Arms created is merely that of whichever Imperial House currently controls the seat of the Emperor, and is subject to change with elections, so no one man will ever permanently be on the flag. Currently the House of Jbrase is the only one with a seal, but Sanchez has announced plans for a House of Sanchez, and there are a couple other regional groupings (RPP, Whig). The Voter Rolls haven't been as active as I would have liked, but still.

So we will change it whenever a new governor takes over? I suppose that makes sense, more so than changing the flag over and over. Granted, I am not Scottish or English, never cared for medieval history, and as a Greek, we did not have coat of arms, so I am unfamiliar with how they work for families, let alone regions.

Yep. Ya know, you could found a House of Duke as well.

What is the point of finding houses though? Like, do we have dinner parties? Form coalitions? Aren't these houses simply your offspring who take over for you when you leave office? I understand that the House of JBrase was his house when he was in office, but who else is in it? If someone he hand picks takes over?

I think it's regional political alliances based on the politics of previous Emperors. Jbrase's House includes him, PiT, me, and Yankee; it's a libertarian-leaning bloc.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I don't think there are many in this region that line up with me politically

Although I figured Yankee would be in my house as he was around during my terrific reign and we both sort of grew together, but who knows.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Yankee is currently a member of the House of Jbrase, but if he became Emperor he could easily start his own house. It's really the prerogative of the person in charge.

[Adam Griffin]

Reviewing the previous debate (on the flag change) and seeing this is for the Imperial Standard, I can dig this.

[CatoMinor]

Unless anyone wants more debate we can open a vote later today.

[Donerail]

Unless anyone wants more debate we can open a vote later today.

Then we can move on to the next one of yours, then some of mine (we need that Labor bill ASAP).

[CatoMinor]

And vote time.

AYE

[Donerail]

Aye.

[Adam Griffin]

Aye

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

What are we voting on now? The imperial flag and the like? If so, aye.

[CatoMinor]

I'll keep the vote going till morning to see if Hagrid shows up

[Associate Justice PiT]

What are we voting on now? The imperial flag and the like? If so, aye.

     It's the imperial standard, my good man.
