Confirmation Hearing: Q (Sofa)

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I call to order the confirmation hearing for Secretary of Forum Affairs nominee Q

[CheeseWhiz]

A fine appointment.  Hopefully the Senate will confirm him quickly so that he may prepare for the December Senate Race.

[Jake]

The usual.

Will you be on at 12 Midnight to 1 AM on the night the election ends?

[MasterJedi]

A very fine choice that I don't have any questions for. I'll be watching the other Senator's questions though.

[Q]

I am honored by the confidence President Joe Republic has shown in me.  I thank him for this opportunity to serve Atlasia.

If confirmed, I would be in full cooperation with the President's efforts to reform our nation's electoral process and would work to facilitate the changes he has proposed.

Will you be on at 12 Midnight to 1 AM on the night the election ends?

In response to the Senator's question, yes, I would make every effort to be active when I would be most likely to be needed.

[Jake]

You have my support then.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I think we can all agree that given his record Q will do an excellent job.

I hereby open the vote...

[MasterJedi]

I hereby open the vote...

Don't you have to give it a certain ammount of time?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I hereby open the vote...

Don't you have to give it a certain ammount of time?

*reads rules*

24 hours apparently. Damn.

You should have known that by now     It's not like it's that long you know.

[Gabu]

*reads rules*

24 hours apparently. Damn.

I believe you can override that requirement if the VP posts that he agrees with that action.

[CheeseWhiz]

*reads rules*

24 hours apparently. Damn.

I believe you can override that requirement if the VP posts that he agrees with that action.

I think we should wait and let the other 7 Senators have a chance to respond.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

You should have known that by now

I was sort of hoping that no one would notice...

[MasterJedi]

It's kinda hard not to when you only just open it up today.

[Defarge]

I agree to bumping the vote forward.

Voting is now open.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I agree to bumping the vote forward.

Voting is now open.

Aye

[CheeseWhiz]

Woah, woah, woah, wait a second!  7 Senators haven't even gotten the chance to respond to this thread, and we still got 12 day until the election, why not give them a day?

The election may be in twelve days, and it's urgent that we confirm a SoFA before then, but it's just as important that we let the Senators make sure that Q is qualified to be SoFA for the next two months.  I stongly urge the VP and the PPT to reconsider.

[Ebowed]

Yea

[Defarge]

CheeseWhiz, your concerns have merit.  We must have a competent SoFA.  But in all honesty, I don't think there's anyone in Atlasia who would question Q's ability to fulfill the job's responsibilities.  Meanwhile, to be fair, I don't think questioning will yield anything we don't already know.

Unless of course, Q is unable to stay up until midnight, like a certain other SoFA .

[CheeseWhiz]

Well I certainly don't have any objection to confirming Q, but I would like to give everyone 24 hours to see if they have any quesions I may have overlooked.

[Jake]

Yea

[PBrunsel]

Aye

This should go fast I hope.

[Gabu]

Aye.

[The Dowager Mod]

Aye

[Q]

I thank the Senators, the Vice President, and other interested parties for their confidence and support.

I would be happy to answer any questions at all, especially logistical or technical ones regarding potential decisions I might have to make if confirmed.
