I don't have anything against Talleyrand, but what the Lieutenant Governor is doing is just bull.

It's not democratic either. First he pushes Talleyrand forward and then he makes a ballot with only Talleyrand on it.

I would support restarting the vote and having it last 48 hours, if this would alleviate any controversy..

Shoot, this has been one train wreck after another. Yeah, the voting has been restarted and will last 48 hours or until all Representatives have voted.

I'll be on vacation for the next week and may not have internet, and yes I do recognize that this indicates that I may not be able to post for the remainder of my term. There's a small chance that I might, but the point is that I'm taking a leave of absence indefinitely until either I come back or I leave the Assembly.

The new Assembly is in session.  Do we elect a speaker now or wait for the Governor to name a Lt. Governor before electing a speaker?

I will be naming Cincinnatus as Lt Governor shortly. Tonight most likely. Then he'll open a vote for Speaker. The holidays are a hard time to start a new session of the Assembly.

Which is one reason for my Uniform December Election Day Amendment.

Its not a bad idea. We'll discuss more when it comes up. I just made the appointments so hopefully Cincinnatus is online soon.

I wish to thank  Governor SirNick for the confidence he has shown in me in appointing me to the Northeast Assembly.

As a former Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Representative, and Speaker, I have a history in this esteemed legislative institution, and I have every confidence, that, together, we, as the representatives of the good people of the Northeast, will be moving this great region forward in their service.

I look forward to the debate and the enactment of positive legislation during this term.

Congratulations to all those elected.

(Expressing my views prior to the session opening)

With reference to the Uniform December Election Day Amendment, this amendment makes sense.

Due to the holiday season, December is a month where many people are unavailable and have many other engagements.  

Therefore, special provisions should be made to accommodate these circumstances, such as in this amendment.

The only changes I would make would be for clarification, wherever it states his should be changed to his or her, and wherever it states he should be changed to he or she.

Something I only just noticed while I was preparing to update the constitution on the wiki page, is that the great fix amendment doesn't seem to be legally watertight.

Here is a copy of the amendment:


For one thing it doesn't specify which section of Article VI is stricken, so it could either leave the offending passage in place or strike down the whole bill of rights. Also it's not clear where section 2 is to be inserted, or (to me anyway Tongue) what the second part (from however) means.

Assembly members, we will now hold a 24 hour nomination period for Speaker of the Assembly.  All nominations will require a second for consideration on the ballot.  As Lt. Governor, I can not be nominated.

The quote got screwed up while copying and pasting somewhere. I went around fixing it before people voted ln it...check the referendum.
