So after reviewing our Constitution and talking to the Governor. It appears that opening the Assembly falls to me as longest serving member of the Assembly. I here by convene the Assembly session.
First item of business is to elect a Speaker. I as acting speaker will take nominations for the position and then we will hold a vote.
Members, do I here any nominations?

Voting is closed for Speaker. GAworth has been elected Speaker on a 2-0-1 Vote. The chamber will now move onto legislative business.
Please note that FE-4 (Fremont Minimum Wage Implementation Act) and FE-7 (YIMBY Act) are currently on the floor for debate. We will also be considering another bill as well. Please members, introduce other pieces of legislation.

We also need to work on a redraft of the constitution.

What do we need to redraft, Speaker?

I feel for everyone sake we need to do one big amendment to the entire Constitution. Section by Section may become cumbersome. What I was thinking is having all of us look at the Constitution and come up with recommendations. I don't want to steer the entire conversation.

Here are some thoughts:
Having a Lt. Governor (I am in favor, but I am just one person)
Having a fixed size Legislature (I feel having a sliding scale based on activity is not the way the Legislature should be configured)
Uniform phrasing (Fremont v. Western Region, etc.)

Per our Constitution, FE-3 and FE-6 are made law despite the Governor not signing the legislation.

I just wanted to post here, that Wolfentoad and Wulfric have been appointed to serve in the Legislative Assembly of Fremont. That means that Rpryor03 will act as temporary Speaker per seniority until a Speaker is elected.

Seeing as he's pretty much accepted and Wulfric hasn't said boo, I open a 24 hour vote.


I vote for Wolfentoad.

Lay down the iron rail.

Across the rolling prairies,
By steam we're bound to go,
The railroad cars are coming, humming,
Through New Mexico,
The railroad cars are coming, humming,
Through New Mexico.

The prairie dogs in dogtown
Will wag each little tail,
They'll think that something's coming,
Just flying down the rail.

The rattlesnake will show its fangs,
The owl tu-whit tu-who.
While railroad cars are coming, humming,
Through New Mexico,
The railroad cars are coming, humming,
Through New Mexico.

Sec. 9. Enactment
The contents of this act shall go into effect immediately upon passage.
