Senate Protest and Analysis Thread

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

There are no procedures in the OSPR for impeachments that I can see. The Constitution is thus the only guide and if I am not mistaken, it places the ball in the court of the Chief Justice to proceed with them, correct?

Based on the Constitution, the CJ will start a new thread to consider the impeachment (which I assume means cases will be presented for both sides, debate, etc), and the Senators just act as a jury.

I do not believe this would hurt the game at all, as this bill simply removes clutter and allows inactive players to re-register if they would like.

Personally, I am glad Redalgo wasn't deregistered and is eligible to run for the Senate. Then again, I value functionality over...whatever one might call kicking voters out and forcing them to re-register...unnecessary hassle?

There are many reasons why one might miss an election...especially there first one, when they might not know the election dates. Even our President missed the last election. It happens. I hope you withdraw this bill.

It's not an unnecessary hassle.  If someone decides to be active here again, they can take the five seconds to register back into the game.

I am willing to compromise on this and set the limit to maybe two or even three elections or so, but there is no reason why people who never vote or contribute anything to the game should just stay on the voter roll.

Aren't voters removed if they miss three elections under current law?

What law are you citing?

What law are you citing?

The Constitution. I can't remember if its 3 or 4, but I know its already there.

You're right, it is in there.

It appears that the proposed law is unnecessary, in this case.

Doesn't this pretty much already go without saying?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Indeed, but we know goverment and it's way far too well to rest on that assumption alone.

[Donerail]

Hey, Yankee, you know these kinds of things. Do I have to have the movers get everything out of my office when Nappy (or Tweed) swears in, or do I have to be done when Kal (pending confirmation) swears in?

[Simfan34]

Wormy guy, why did you vote nay on the swearing in made simple act?

[TJ in Oregon]

Wormy guy, why did you vote nay on the swearing in made simple act?

I'm going to guess and say he thinks it's pointless since the thread was sticky-ed once someone PM-ed Gustaf without it needing to pass.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Hey, Yankee, you know these kinds of things. Do I have to have the movers get everything out of my office when Nappy (or Tweed) swears in, or do I have to be done when Kal (pending confirmation) swears in?

I would say whenever you successor swears in, but I would be inclined to get another opinion on that before making any critical decisons if I were you.

Give Kal a different office. Keep the old one as a memento. I'm working on making a plaster cast of my Senate office as we speak.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Your office consisted of little more then a broom closet which you shared with Pingvin, why would you want to remember that "experience".

[Donerail]

Sans the artwork of the Dome of the Rock (mine is of the Palais des Nations) and also the armed Hamas gunmen, this is pretty much what my office looks like. Is it worth it to make a plaster cast?

(press secretaries get better offices than PPTs)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I highly doubt that myself.

For Jbrase because obviously, I enjoy pain.

I was actually going to introduce a compromised version of this amendment, but hey, debating the exact same thing over and over is fun, right kids?

[Napoleon]

Will someone tell Jbrase the only way to pass this is for him to actually vote for the people that agree with him?

I know, I wasn't expecting him to pm me asking to introduce that today though, and I never say no to such a respected constituent. Perhaps you could consult with him and see if he would be willing to ask me to withdraw it in favor of yours.

By now I am just assuming you guys never got my pms. Go ahead an withdraw mine in favor of his.


Also Senator Wormy introduced articles of impeachment quite a while ago. Not that I am saying Fuzzy needs to be impeached, but that fact someone brought forward articles of impeachment and there is nothing being done about it is a huge sign that something is broken here. I highly suggest a senator introduce some amendment to the SoP to make sure impeachments, you know, actually happen when are supposed to in the future.
