Leave of Absence:

My stepfather just passed away last night, so I may be gone for a short while. Sorry if I miss any votes.

Sorry, but due to certain circumstances I really cannot commit the time needed to do the job justice at the moment. I hereby resign.

Because we're starting a new legislative session, the time has come for choosing a speaker. Does anyone want to run for the office of speaker?

I would be willing to be speaker if no one else does, but I would recommend Dereich keep leading as Speaker.

Sure, if you like. Legislators have 48 hours to vote for a candidate for the office of speaker. You are free to change your vote until the 48 hours have passed or all legislators have voted.

It's not really unanimous if you voted for yourself last, is it?

From what I understand of write-ins, they only count if the person declares they will accept write-ins or 1st preferences themselves in a write-in. Thus, all my preferences except the one for myself are ignored. I have no doubt everyone in the legislature would be great speakers; if any of them were running I'd be happy to vote for them over myself, thus my preferences. So technically not unanimous, but in the vote counting it ends up that way.

Anyone? Speaker? I'm fine with staying on if that's the case, but last call for nominations.

If I may ask, since we have a contested race, why should the legislature pick either one of you to be Speaker?

Well, I have a long expierence of working in the Legislature, brief tenure in Senate and also worked as Judicial Overlord. Almost everybody would agree that I always was able to support multi-partisan work and finding compromise while staying true to my principles. So, I believe that I can be a pretty good speaker.

I've also had a long experience in working in legislatures, as well as a two hour tenure as Senator (lol), and I worked mostly in the Pacific, where I had been the Speaker for a majority or a plurality of the time I was there. I have experience working with other legislators and I can get the IDS results like ones in the Pacific. I'd be glad to do that again.

An adequate amount of time having passed to declare, I'll begin the voting for this position. Legislators have 48 hours to select a speaker.
