After what amounts to 4 months of running the senate I'm now moving on and in the days before the senate elects a new speaker TNF, as the dean, shall run the senate.

I'd like to thank Lumine who was always receptive to suggestions as to how to run the senate and other senator who served with me over the last few months and over the last couple of years.

If the next speaker needs any more help I'm happy to help, and will keep the topic titles for bills I introduced updated.

There is no Vice-President so what is the procedure for Cabinet nomination to take place.

The speaker is acting as President of the Senate.
Considering there is no speaker elected as well, the dean of the senate who is acting as speaker is acting as president of the senate as well.

The Vice Presidency will likely be vacant for at least this week. With that in mind, I think it'd be prudent for the Dean to begin conducting the business before the Senate.

You can request unanimous consent and open a vote in 24 hours as long as there are no objections.
I know Nix. But that would be stupid to do that considering that I will be able to open a vote in less than a hour now Tongue.

I would like to inform the Senate that I am following the tragic events at the Department of Federal Elections closely and will be acting along with the rest of the Cabinet to end the crisis in our nation.

Polnut is the one who has to open the thread under the rules (though Nix might be able to in the case of the Dean being on leave), but he is on leave until Sunday.

Though I should note he has been posting on the forum generally for the past week though he has not posted in the Senate. So how unreachable he might be is uncertain.

Why would Kalwejt's seat be vacant?

Good catch, the vacancy is the Pacific pending you taking office.

Since I'm not a Senator but have something to say on the Resolution for Peaceful Co-Existence, I'll say it here.

For reference (yours and mine), here's the bill:

Quote
You must be logged in to read this quote.

Sponsor: Senator Kalwejt

Now, this is a bit vague, and I strongly encourage the Senate to make it less vague. What, exactly, is included in "subvert[ing] or in any other way disrupt[ing] the Mock Parliament?" If, as Senator Truman stated, the punishments would include citizenship being taken away, this needs to be more specific.

By the way, to ease the minds of people who think I hate the Mock Parliament, I'm in favor of this bill (heck, I'm even in favor of diplomatic relations, in theory, just that we'd be lying to ourselves to say that the Mock Parliament doesn't have strong anti-Atlasian sentiment, or that it would be easy to have relations with someone who thinks we're a socialist wasteland without an impartial GM as "Reality Judge"). My only concern with this bill is the subjectivity it brings into the equation--subjectivity in the law is NEVER a good thing, people. Before this is passed, it needs to be clearer what this means, and how to punish violators.

Not Senate discussion, but government discussion: Talleyrand's tantrum lawsuit against the Registrar General is pathetic.

Adam's been a great RG, this is nothing but Talleyrand being sore over the controversy regarding his re-registry--which Adam resolved and then, going a step further, corrected the dates of other people to get it right.

Nothing but [male bovine waste] as high as en elephant's eye on this.

I am merely trying to maintain the integrity of our legal system! We cannot be selective in how we enforce our laws. And to insinuate my commitment to fair democratic ideals is due to some silly attacks that I easily brushed back, you are quite mistaken sir.

In addition, this has nothing to do with the Senate, so I have no idea why you have violated a thread about the workings of a legislative body! Take your hysterical rants elsewhere.

I don't see a "General Court Discussion" thread anywhere (maybe I missed it?) and I'd rather not clutter up the case thread that is already cluttered by a silly argument you and Windjammer had.

Also, how was that a hysterical rant? 3 sentences is hardly a rant (I mean, of anyone, I think I'd know what constitutes a rant...), and it was far from hysterical.

I created one in 2009, but it is not stickied and only gets bumped, usually by me, when a case has started, which means that most discussion has already run its course in other places, even the case threads the discussion thread was meant to keep clear.

Well, someone should sticky it then.
