The Imperial Dominion of the South's Legislature

[Deldem]

8. Vacancies in the Legislature shall be filled in a manner specified by Law, and until such determination is made, by Gubernatorial appointment

Special elections are out for now because now law has been passed regarding them. If SPC doesn't come back by a certain time I'll consider the seat vacated and appoint someone new. how much time should we give him?

I know my opinion technically no longer counts here, but maybe give him until the weekend?

I'd also like to apologize for not being present at the last vote- things were a little hectic a few days ago, and I couldn't really find any time. I didn't check the legislature page until the day after the vote. In addition, for some reason I couldn't log on at all the last 4 or 5 days.

I'd be willing to serve again, and hopefully perform better, should SPC not return in a timely manner. I'd say that my overall participation in Atlasia and in the Southeast would merit my consideration, should such a need arise.

     I agree with this post. Deldem served well in his brief tenure in the Legislature, & the legislature is in desperate need of active members.

Agreed, until the weekend it is then.

I think the election should occur, but if he comes back an does it again, he should be impeached.

[Jbrase]

We should wait until we see whether or not SPC needs to be replaced to bring up any new bill's because failing due to not having a quorum looks bad.

     Speaking of that, I will re-introduce the bill that failed earlier due to the lack of a quorum.

[tb78]

If that's the case, the legislature should be in Recess until Monday. Do you guys agree?

[Jbrase]

Well if your gonna be in recess till Monday you all won't mind if I just go ahead and put the next bill in the introduction thread to a referendum will you? it was part of the bill to have a referendum anyways.

[tb78]

Which bill?

[Jbrase]

the Two States are better than one act

[tb78]

Go ahead

[Fmr. Emperor PiT]

     I was actually looking forward to debating that bill, since I'm curious to find out what the reasons behind it are. I suppose now that that's out there, though, that isn't really needed.

[tb78]

If debate is needed, then you can debate it if it is okay with JBrase

[Jbrase]

well under the bill, Texas would be divided into two states, Texas and Nueva Tejas

[Fmr. Emperor PiT]

     Well here is the burning question: why?

[Jbrase]

Culturally, geographically, and some what linguistically, East and West Texas are like two different worlds let alone states. Do not confuse this as a case of "They are different so we must separate".  And some what like what led to the Dakotas separating, Texas's east has most the population and nearly all the major cities, while out west, separated miles miles of prairie and desert, has its major city in the western most point of the state, El Paso, with the rest of the population scattered along the border.   

[Fmr. Emperor PiT]

     I'm not quite sure why that's such a big deal, unless we are talking about western Texans freeloading off of the tax revenues exacted from eastern Texans. Texas is not the only state to house vastly disparate geographical entities, at any rate.

[Senator Barnes]

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

2. The consent of the Senate is required for any change in Region boundaries.

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

The election shall occur

[Fmr. Emperor PiT]

The election shall occur

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

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...
