Only on the No side - a conservative, a moderate, a liberal, and a socialist lunatic.

We should see if there's a way to set the Atlas Election Board to where when you click on it, it automatically goes to the second page. Because at the rate we're going, that's where you going to have to go to see any unstickied threads. Wink

This bill has no power, and I find it pretty useless. Ever since Homely brought the hammer down in the NRT, there have been almost no "extra" posts in it. I don't see the purpose in this.

Actually, I take that veto back after re-reading the text. It says "recommend", so it is a resolution and not a bill. That is what I get for trusting Marokai's post. Tongue

Still, my administration will not pursue these recommendations.

I didn't expect the vote to carry over to another page. Tongue

Well the Ayes are almost all Liberal party members, on something opposed by a President of their party. I would say it is a weird result all around. Tongue

I oppose the creation of a formal welcome thread, but I don't oppose the sentiment expressed. I had opposed the penalties however. This isn't a very big deal to me.

Shame this isn't veto-able. I was really happy with Napoleon for a post. Tongue

Which one am I? Angry

On second thought, this is within my power to veto, and is hereby vetoed.

Wait, so if the President can veto resolutions, does that mean none of the Senate committees should basically exist because the resolutions that created them were never signed into law? Huh

No because those are specific to the rules of the Senate.

The Constitution states that in order for the Resolution to become law, it had to be signed by the President. So if a piece of this resolution contained something seeking to be entered as a law, then the whole thing would need his signature. However, this entire resolution merely states recommendations by the legislative branch, and doesn't seek to become law, therefore it wasn't transmitted to the President for that reason.

I guess if the the Constitution says he can veto, he can, but it has no practical affect at all because you can't stop a bill from becoming law, unless it was aimed at becoming so in the first place.

Yeah I don't think it really matters either way at this point- I think the clear opinion among Atlasians is that a welcome thread would be unnecessary and redundant.

I am not to favorable to having another stickied thread either, but I was willing to bend certainly for the overall thing to pass, which is what the constituent was most concerned about.
