[fhtagn]

Seconded.

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

Thirded? It's not a word but 😂

Thirded? It's not a word but 😂

Lol, good enough, I'd say

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Okay that is enough to get started.


Pessimistic and CMB can still sign off as well.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I sent a message about getting the new noticeboard thread created. Once that is done, I will update all the threads (unless it is not done by tonight then I will update them without it until it is finally completed).

Anyway, the first thing to get some meaning to these positions would be to designate the Whips in both conferences with the task of getting the members out to vote on any given bill.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Now that we finally have set who will be our members in the next Congress, we can proceed with deciding who is doing what.


It appears that Truman and Peebs are wanting to combine the position of Leader and Whip. Something to consider.

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

If the Leader/Whip positions are combined, I'll run for that. But I'm running for Minority Leader regardless

[RFayette]

x RFayette

Am interested in policy co-chair

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

I want to be Policy Co-Chair
X LouisvilleThunder

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

So here is what we have so far:


Speaker candidate: NC Yankee
Leader: Haslam
Whip: Merged with Leader
Policy Co-Chair: LouisvilleThunder
Policy Co-Chair: Rfayette
Conference Chair:

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Bump

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

I'll go for my same position.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Bump time to get started on this. New congress starts on Friday. 10th Congress members please sign in and state your desire for any positions in the new Congress.


Speaker: NC Yankee
Majority Leader: LT
Majority Whip(s):
Policy Chair(s):
Conference Chair:
Deputies of any of the above?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I guess I will give 48 hours for any declarations/nominations to be made and this will be finalized with a quick vote starting Wednesday Morning.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I request the Federalist Conference support for People's House Speaker in the 10th Congress.

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

I support NC Yankee to continue to serve as Speaker for the 10th Congress.

I declare to take the position of Majority Leader during this Congress.

[RC (a la Frémont)]

I support both NCY continuing his speakership and LT assuming the office of Majority Leader.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

We should really fill that whip position. I will give an extra 24 hours in the hopes that a declaration or nomination will be forthcoming.

[RC (a la Frémont)]

After consideration, I have decided to declare my candidacy as Majority Whip.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

After consideration, I have decided to declare my candidacy as Majority Whip.

That is delightful news.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Since the Speaker election process is already underway, I am going to move that we accept the following nominations as final. Fed Members have 24 hours to object.

Speaker:
NC Yankee

Majority Leader:
LouisivilleThunder

Majority Whip:
ReaganClinton20xx


If you are still interested in serving as Conference chair or policy or some other position that you might want to experiment with, please contact myself and LT.

A bit late to the party getting this organized for the 13th Congress, but better late than never

For some background on the positions:

Speaker of course has to administer the House, put bills on the floor and run the votes and such.
Majority leader is basically the floor leader for the Party Conference. I suppose he could introduce bills and such that the conference supports or for the administration.
Majority Whip, is suppose to scour for votes on such legislation
Conference chair has duties established in the soon to be amended Federalist Bylaws, including administering leadership elections for the Conference.
And Policy Chair I guess can develop legislation for the conference to pursue.

VI. People's House Conference
1. The Federalist Members and aligned third parties of the People's House of Representatives shall be invited to join the Federalist House Conference.
2. The Conference will be administered by the Party Chairman as the interim conference chair until the election of a slate of leaders:
     a. Majority Conference: candidate for Speaker, Majority Leader, Majority Whip, Policy         Chair and Conference Chair.
     b. Minority Conference: Minority Leader, Minority Whip, Policy Chair and Conference           Chair.
     c. The Conference chair shall administer future leadership elections unless he leaves the House, then it will fall back on the Party Chairman.

Since this, the position of whip and leader have been merged the policy chair was split into two co-chair positions (unless something changed and I'm mistaken, at which point Yankee will probably yell at me ), so that is something else to consider. Also keep in mind we are the minority in the House, so that's slightly different as well.

So the positions available:

Minority Leader/Whip:
Policy Co-Chair:
Policy Co-Chair:
Conference Chair:


Anyway, I'll go ahead and give 48 hours for declarations/nominations, after which we can proceed to a vote.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Ill run for Policy Co-Chair
