my pen finger is getting twitchy, guys...

[Türkisblau]

It would have also helped had we not had a member vanish midway through the session... but now I'm just engaging in undirected snarkiness.

There are four days left in the session, however; more enough time to vote on the bills on the floor at present.

We can't vote until we're sure if he current council is legitimate. If you found Intell was the winner you would have appointed him, yes?

[Türkisblau]

Great work you've done so far, Simfan. I do suggest you begin a region-wide manhunt to find and bring to justice Wayne Derrick.

[Türkisblau]

It would be pretty nice if we could get an appointment soon.

[Türkisblau]

I hereby sign the The Early Newborn Support Act and the Open Elections Act.

x Simfan34

Ah it looks as if I forgot to send it to your desk; I'm sorry for making you walk all the way to the Council building.

Great pieces of legislation Simfan!

[Türkisblau]

Governor, this legislation requires your signature.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

[Türkisblau]

Governor, the following pieces of legislation have passed assembly and require your signature:

Reinstatement of the Pacific Protection of Commerce in Arms Act

    b. Opting out may be done in person or by mail at any Pacific DMV.

3. This legislation will go into effect on June 1, 2015.

[Türkisblau]

Simfan, I plead that you veto this absolutely garbage bill, subpar even by CLASSIC CONSERVATIVE's standards: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=219691.msg4741353#new.

It would truly be a travesty if this once great region was reduced to having a pledge riddled with grammar mistakes. Not to mention the controversial stances that no pledge should be taking.

[Türkisblau]

You do know that 2 people on a 3 person council can't override a veto?

[Türkisblau]

Truman, this is par for the course in the now dystopian Pacific Region.

CC, it is in the law that you need 3/3 to overrule the veto. 2/3 is a majority in the 3 person council. Because there are 2 councilors, you are unable to overrule the veto.

[Türkisblau]

How will elections be conducted with a lack of CJO, Mr. Former Governor?

[Türkisblau]

The office of the Speaker is empty. It is required according to the Council's Rules of Order that the Governor conduct the elections for Speaker. Because that never occurred this session and there is no Governor to currently conduct elections, there is and can be no Speaker of the Council for the foreseeable future.

[Türkisblau]

I actually stand with Mr. Nagas and I call SOHA Blair to bring charges against Simfan with Rebellion and Terriorism.

Yes, this is a crucial step for as long as he remains registered in the game.

As for the Pacific, we need the incoming Griffin administration to take emergency measures to instill law and order as well as open elections for regional offices.

[Türkisblau]

Also, the related information pertaining to whether we have a Speaker:

https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Rules_of_Order_of_the_Legislative_Council_(Pacific_Region)

Going by the letter of the law, there is no Speaker and nor can there be due to there being no Governor to open Speaker elections.

[Türkisblau]

Our poor former governor seems to have gone senile

[Türkisblau]

What is the delusional, madman Mr. Fan rambling on about now?

It's times like these that we really need Yankee's Mental Health Reform bill as law.

Our Gracious President Adam Griffin could drone him at his residence in Singapore, no?

[Türkisblau]

Can someone please explain what is going on? The wiki is not really up to date. So Blair is President? Yankee will take office in January? Who is VP? What are the main parties? Who controls the federal and state legislatures?

who gives a sh**t anymore tbh
