People's House Federalist Conference (15th Congress Organizing)

[fhtagn]

I'll go for Majority Whip.

[fhtagn]

Seconded.

[fhtagn]

Thirded? It's not a word but 😂

Lol, good enough, I'd say

[fhtagn]

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.

What are the of the policy co-chairs and the conference chair?

Policy chairs handle developing legislation for the conference to pursue/tackles issues we should be supporting together. The main thing with the Conference chair is administering leadership elections each Congress (part of why I took this over is because we didn't have one the last couple Congresses), though I'm sure we can come up with other duties that can be added to this.

[fhtagn]

Running for Minority Leader, I guess.

[fhtagn]

Nominating Lechasseur for the other policy chair and Rfayette for Conference Chair unless they object otherwise. If I don't hear from y'all in 24 hours, we're rolling with it

[fhtagn]

Minority Leader/Whip: fhtagn
Policy Co-Chair: Old School Republican

*Considering the situation with the hurricane, while I'd normally leave for 24 hours for declarations, I'll leave this open until Sunday, followed by a vote if need be. Depending on the extent of the storm's damage, I may extend this, but we will try to stick to this timeline for now.

[fhtagn]

Gonna nominate Vern for whip and Lechasseur for the other policy chair position.

I know some of us talked in PM about this, but gonna go ahead and move that we merge conference chair with majority leader, unless anyone has any objections.
