I again express my confusion as to why you all would need to elect a Speaker...

I had been under the impression that the Lt. Governor was the presiding officer (that was my intention when I proposed the Assembly several months ago), but it appears that provision wasn't included in our Constitution. Blame Xahar.

If we're concerned with the ratio of office holders:citizens, wouldn't a better solution be to get more citizens instead of less office holders?

I realize that's easier said than done, but I don't really see the harm in having the Assembly. The goal was to get more people more involved in the game than just showing up every few months to vote, and I think we've seen some progress on that. This last cycle was sort of an odd fluke due to mistakes made by Fmr. Governor Mikado.

Maybe a motion to raise them extra high would be in order.

Or to raise two in the pinky and one in the stinky.

You realize this is a federal convention, right?

I strongly support Al's proposal and urge the Assembly to act on it as quickly as possible.

I'd also like to recommend The Mikado be appointed to fill the vacancy.

The original intent was for the Lt. Governor to preside over the Assembly, but it was strangely left out of the Constitution (more Xahar meddling).

Anyways, I support Peter's proposal.

Well Franzl had been doing it since no else wants to. If you want to do it I suspect Inks and Peter would be OK with it.

There just needs to be some sort of vote or agreement.

I don't there are any statues or guidelines. We just sort of make the rules as needed as we go along here in the Mideast.

If you'd like to write some down it'd probably be for the best. We're just all too lazy to.
