I introduce the following amendment to Standing Orders:

Quote
You must be logged in to read this quote.

I move that Standing Orders be suspended and this bill be brought to the top of the queue. The reason is that the Christmas holidays are quickly approaching, and this bill directly addresses the problems associated with holding business over that period.

Per the SOAP, a 24 hour vote on this motion to suspend the Standing Order should begin immediately.

Aye.

^ It appears that this motion will not aquire the requisite absolute majority of members nessecary, which I feel is a shame, but oh well, we have other business to attend to.


As Lieutenant Governor, I hereby declare this session of the Northeast Assembly open! The first order of business will be to elect the speaker. Nominations will be open for 24 hours; a member may only nominate one member (including their self), and any member nominated must accept the nomination.

I remind all members that they must take the oath before assuming their seat.

Mr. Lieutenant Governor, could you not re-introduce this amendment for the vote on the amendment for Non-Sitting Days?

I believe it is important that these dates become non-sitting days.

I will certainly vote aye on this amendment should the amendment be re-introduced.

I believe  the other Representatives have simply not yet checked into the Assembly thread, otherwise, I am sure this amendment would receive unanimous support.

The bill is still in the queue, but I will certainly introduce a motion to bring it to the top once we're done electing the Speaker. Smiley

In accordance with Standing Orders, seeing as Sirnick is the only nominated member, he has been elected Speaker. Congratulations, Mr. Speaker, and I now turn the chair of the Assembly over to you!

I appreciate the Assembly supporting this motion. The next open slot for legislation should be filled with this bill.

Missed the post where I was elected, normally even with one nominee we still go through the voting process. I'll get on to being Speaker later today

The rules were changed two months ago to allow for an immediate election if only one person nominated.

I would like to take just a moment to bid adieu to my colleagues in the Assembly.  Until quite recently, I have thoroughly enjoyed being a member of this body, and I wish all of luck going forward.  I hope that the reasons for my resignation will persuade members to adopt more constructive and conciliatory methods of debate.  See you all around.
