Governor,

[Senator Snowstalker]

The voting on the proposed Atlasian constitutional amendment has opened for Northeast citizens.

[Governor Scott]

Governor, if I am not mistaken, I believe we have a vacancy in the office of the Lieutenant Governor.  A special election will need to be held so that it may be filled.

[Governor Scott]

Uh, oh crap.  According to Napoleon, we don't have special elections for this and the Lt. Governor is to be appointed by you and confirmed by the Assembly.  I apologize for making this mistake if that is true.

[Governor Scott]

Governor, the Anti-Conscription Act has passed the Assembly and awaits your signature or veto.

Anti-Conscription Act

1) The government of the Northeast region may not conscript its citizens, whether for military or civil purposes.

2) The Northeast Assembly affirms that conscription is a form of forced labor, and thus should not be allowed in any progressive society.

[Governor Scott]

Governor, the Assembly has voted to recommend AndrewPA for the position of Lieutenant Governor.  You may appoint him or whoever else you prefer.

[Senator Snowstalker]

I hereby appoint AndrewPA to the office of lieutenant governor.

[Big DaddyTX]

I hereby appoint AndrewPA to the office of lieutenant governor.

Thank you for the chance to serve, Governor.

[Senator Snowstalker]

I look forward to cooperating with you.

[Governor Scott]

Governor, if the vote total maintains, it appears we have a new vacancy in the Assembly.  A special election will need to be held at the nearest possible date.

[Governor Scott]

Governor, The Northeast Cabinet Act has passed the Assembly and awaits your signature or veto.

[Governor Scott]

Will you appoint me to any cabinet postion Mr governor?

You'd have to resign from the Assembly if you choose to accept a cabinet position, just so you know.

[Senator Snowstalker]

Will you appoint me to any cabinet postion Mr governor?

Not at the moment. I intend to fly solo in the executive branch.

[Cincinnatus]

Governor, you have to schedule an Assembly election for Nathan's vacant seat.

Vacancy filling Act

In accordance to Article V, section ix) of the New Northeast Constitution, vacancies in the Legislative Assembly shall be filled in the following manner :

    In the case of a vacancy in the Northeast Legislative Assembly for any reason, a special election shall be held to elect a new Representative.
    The special election must take place no less than 5 days following the vacancy and the booth shall open at 12:00 AM EST on the nearest Friday, provided that Friday is at least 5 days since the vacancy occurred and shall close on that Sunday at 11:59 PM EST, to be administered by the appropriate official.

The special election shall be held on December 1st. I ask any candidates to file before then.

Yes, that is true.  You also need to schedule an election for the recent amendment that was passed.
