Northeast Assembly Thread II

[Blair]

When do we have the vote on speaker?

[Blair]

Should the Assembly start up again now we've got new members in

[Blair]

If we're nominating for speaker - I'll nominate Blair. He seems willing to do it and it should bring stability to the Assembly.

Thanks Clyde. I accept the nomination for speaker, and would be happy to carry out the role

[Blair]

Haha it feels slightly Nixon like having to open my own election.

Since Matt has been given a LOA submitted through Governor Sawx I hereby open the nomination Process. It will last for 24 hours

Clyde has nominated me, and I accept.

[Blair]

24 hours has now passed, and since no other names have been nominated I hereby declared that Blair has been elected as Speaker to the Northeast Assembly, and shall assume the position as of now

[Blair]

24 hours has now passed, and since no other names have been nominated I hereby declared that Blair has been elected as Speaker to the Northeast Assembly, and shall assume the position as of now

Does that feel awkward, Representative Blair declares Representative Blair as Speaker Blair? 

[Blair]

Been fun serving with you all, good luck

[Blair]

I was going to announce it later but Clarkkent is my Lt. Governor so he needs to open the ballot. After the speaker elections I'd also like the Assembly to confirm my cabinet appointments through the correct channels

[Blair]

Do we have any slots available to introduce new legislation? 

[Blair]

We have the joy of another speaker ship election now that Dkrol has resigned

[Blair]

I'm happy to open the vote later today

[Blair]

I too would like thank all those in the commission for their hard work-this is a brilliant piece of work, and I intent to submit it to the Assembly to pass in their next term

[Blair]

Congrats Kingpoleon, now the assembly can get on to work with the new term. I'll be issuing my much anticipated state of the Northeast speech soon

[Blair]

So guys, should we start the new session?

[Blair]

Do we want a Budget before or after the next legislature term?

[Blair]

When I was Speaker (back in what march last year, christ nearly a year) I operated under the assumption that the SOAP was gospel

[Blair]

Well looking into it the SOAP is actually codified into law

[Blair]

Well looking into it the SOAP is actually codified into law

And since then has been perfectly upheld by how many Assembly gatherings?

Precedence is important in law.  

I upheld it as Speaker, I got Dkrol to uphold it as Speaker when I become Senator, Evergreen upheld it as Speaker, so did MattVT before me.

We've got the Chief Judical Officer (the head of the legal branch), Myself the Governor (head of the executive Branch) and about 4 speakers in the past who've all upheld the SOAP. This is getting beyond stupid.

I'd carefully consider your challenge to take this to the court

[Blair]

I hope to get a budget written and published by tomorrow at the latest.
