Swearing in of New Officeholders

[Vasall des Midas]

My sincerest apologies, Sam. I viewed TN's most recent posts, found the one where he withdrew from the Senate race, found no mention of resigning, and only looked at the posts below that on the same page to make sure. The resignation, two days before that, is on the next page. Sorry!

No problem, Lewis.  When Bono appointed me to the spot, I checked and made sure that TN2024 actually resigned before accepting the position.
