It was in the old rules if I recally correctly.

Indeed, even if it is not in the old rules, senority was defined in the old rules as being "longest continuously serving Senator" for the purposes of defining who the Dean was (who was not PPT of course). That doctrine was applied to senority overall since the only real purpose behind having it is identify who the dean of the Senate is for whatever power or responsbility he has so it can be completed.

I swore in on July 3rd, 2009 for my first stint. Hashy and MaxQue swore in the same day, but my time stamp was the oldest of the three so I was in office orior to them (Thank Jedi, he explained it to me beforehand).

Whati s the story being the removal of the "ie Vice President" line. This was mentioned on the previous page but with no further discussion that I saw on the matter. Is there a reason for it and if so, what is the expected benefit? What is the downside risk to confusion and such forth?
