Thanks Mr. PPT! Smiley

I don't think I need to spell out Nathan's credentials. He has served admirably as a reformer in the Northeast Assembly, served a couple terms in the Senate, and as chair of one of our largest parties. He might even be over-qualified for this position. Wink Nathan has proven to be one of our best and most intelligent posters. I look forward to having him join as a partner in my administration and hope this Senate can give him a speedy confirmation (perhaps for your own sake, a tie needs broken). Smiley
Thank you.

Nathan- of course the most important role of yours would be to step into the Presidency if Napoleon resigned or became incapacitated. As Commander-in-chief and our nation's chief diplomat, what would your approach be with regards to Iran?

Nathan, the office of Vice President is very often seen as an insignificant one.  What will you bring to the Office of the Vice Presidency that would make the position more prominent in crafting policy?

One of the problems I have dealt with in my numerous terms as PPT is that the VP tends to recede so far in the background that several functions that require action by th VP for the Senate to function don't get accomplished in a timely manner. Therefore Nathan, if confirmed, will you promise to maintain an active communication with myself or my successor as PPT, to ensure that these items are taken care of quickly as they arise?

I don't want military force to be on the table regarding Iran, mainly because I'm opposed to the use of military force as an instrument of Atlasian policy in most situations, but if need be, Iran would probably be near the top of any list of countries to finally lose patience with. I'd prefer to continue the present course of international isolation but I do understand that that might not work. If we were to use military force I would want it, first, to have some international backing, and second, to have a very clearly circumscribed and specific goal--removing specific military installations, for instance, or opening the Strait of Hormuz if they were to close it. I'm leery of more regime-change adventurism, especially considering what happened the last time our predecessor nation's government was involved in overthrowing that of this particular country.

Nathan, the office of Vice President is very often seen as an insignificant one.  What will you bring to the Office of the Vice Presidency that would make the position more prominent in crafting policy?

The President has already expressed a willingness to give me an active role in setting the administration's economic policies if any shift in policy is judged to be necessary, since he's more interested in social issues. I will be looking over Atlasia's finances and economic outlook over the coming weeks and seeing if I can find anything to incorporate into our October platform in that area.

One of the problems I have dealt with in my numerous terms as PPT is that the VP tends to recede so far in the background that several functions that require action by th VP for the Senate to function don't get accomplished in a timely manner.

I promise. I served in the Senate and I regard the Vice President's Senate-related functions as significant and important.

Your answers are all acceptable to me... and I've seen you elsewhere on the board and know you can do the job well. You will have my vote to confirm

Time expires on this tomorrow at 6:00 PM. I might be able to start a vote earlier if no one else speeks between now and 2:23 PM. All times are EST not EDT. Tongue

A belated aye, by the way. From time to time a thread seems to go unnoticed by me.
