1st Fremont Assembly Thread

[Mike Thick]

Let's get this rolling! Once we're all sworn in, we can start the process of selecting a Speaker.

[Mike Thick]

I am writing legislation but will not drop until we get a structure.

[Mike Thick]

Indeed. I'll open the floor for nominations for speaker for 24 hours.

[Mike Thick]

Not to intrude, but you all really need to fine-tune your Constitution. I just read through it for the first time, and it's filled with errors: references to the non-existant offices of "CJO" and "Assemblyman," seeming indecision over the official name of the Region (the preamble refers to "Fremont," other passages speak of a "Western Region"... which is it?), ambiguity regarding the role, powers, and appointment of the "Elections Officer," etc.

Which is why I voted No. I am sure we will address this during this session.

I will be posting a little soliloquy about this in my office thread later today.

[Mike Thick]

I was under the impression that candidates for Speaker need to accept the nominations in this thread. Is that the case?

[Mike Thick]

Sorry for the delays, I was resolving a rules issue related to the vote.

A 24-hour vote for Speaker of the Assembly is now open. Please vote.

Assembly Speaker:
[   ] Heisenberg
[   ] pikachu

I may as well post it here:

I don't like to make excuses, so I'll say it: I screwed up on the Fremont Constitution. I didn't proofread to the extent that was clearly necessary, and as a result we're having problems. Luckily, this is something we can fix with a Constitutional Amendment -- I do plan to introduce one to fix inconsistencies and mistakes, and generally solve the problem. Hopefully we can get this out of the way as soon as possible.

Heisenberg has been elected Speaker.
