Confirmation Hearing: MAS117 (Defense)

[Q]

With such a little time left in this presidential term, I hereby call for a motion to end this debate and bring this nomination to a vote.

[Emsworth]

The rules provide for a maximum of 72 hours of debate; thus, voting would begin tomorrow automatically.

[Q]

Thank you, Mr. Vice President, for the clarification.


I ask the nominee's detractors, both those who have spoken here and those acting outside of the government, whether they are concerned more with the nominee's ability, or lack therof, to carry out the perscribed duties of the office,  or with their previously-conceived perceptions of the nominee in the political and personal realms.

I am more concerned with his ability.  I do not believe MAS is fit to be Secretary of Defense.  He may be better at other Cabinet positions, but I am not sure about SoD.

[Emsworth]

The question is on granting the Senate's advice and consent. All those in favor, say Aye; those opposed, say No.

[Q]

Aye

[True Democrat]

Nay

[Ebowed]

Yea

[DanielX]

Abstain.

[MasterJedi]

Abstain

[Defarge]

Aye

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Abstain

[PBrunsel]

With much reflection I must vote nay.

[Gabu]

Abstain.

Given that his term will last, like, a week, I don't think that this particularly matters one way or another.

[MAS117]

I guess it really doesn't matter anymore since the Presidential election is only 30 minutes away and Colin isn't really active because of computer trouble. Thanks for everyone who voted for me and believed in me. Hopefully I'll have the honor to be nominated to the cabinet by the next adminstration, whoever that will be, to help Atlasia's armed forces. Thank you to President Siege, and to the presiding officer, Mr. Emsworth.

The current term continues until the end of the month, so even after the election, you could continue to serve.

Well then hopefully Colin will vote soon, thank you Mr. Vice President.

Bump, we need to vote on this.

[CheeseWhiz]

Bump, we need to vote on this.

I’m probably wrong about this, but I think that if Colin doesn’t vote by 3:00 PM today MAS will be confirmed.

You might be right Governor, I'll wait on Emsworth for confirmation. I believe Colin's computer is broken.

[Emsworth]

Aye: 3
No: 2

MAS117 is confirmed. Congratulations!

Thanks, I believe Senator Wixted is having computer troubles which unabled him to vote.

[CheeseWhiz]

Yay!  Congratulations Mas, I’m sure you’ll make a great SoD, for the short time you’re here

[Joe Republic]

Congratulations for winning the backing of 30% of the Senate, and a Cabinet position for a couple of days.
