Nay 1 (Dwtl)
yet to vote 1 (Torie)
vacant 1

The Bill is now passed to the President

Do you favour recognition?

[DownWithTheLeft]

Nay, one this is not a power that should be invested to the senate and my second reason is something a little more controversial

[Bacon King]

I support the Atlasian recognition of Somaliland.

Pray tell, what is your second reason DWTL?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Though I don't think the Senate should have this power, I voted aye because the SoEA (the one who should really have this power) supported it.

[Јas]

I voted to approve my own bill.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I'd have voted with the SoEA; so aye.

[Hash]

Aye, of course and as it should be well known.

[Хahar 🤔]

     Though I don't think the Senate should have this power, I voted aye because the SoEA (the one who should really have this power) supported it.

[Daniel Adams]

     Though I don't think the Senate should have this power, I voted aye because the SoEA (the one who should really have this power) supported it.

[Meeker]

I supported this.

[ilikeverin]

Naturally, this is something that I am extremely pleased about its passage

[GMantis]

Of course aye.
DWTL, do tell your controversial reason.

[Lief 🗽]

Aye, though I would have proposed an amendment calling on the SoEA to work with other international organizations, including the EU and AU, on international recognition of Somaliland.

[DownWithTheLeft]

Pray tell, what is your second reason DWTL?

My second reason is a vote of no confidence in the SoEA

[Associate Justice PiT]

Pray tell, what is your second reason DWTL?

My second reason is a vote of no confidence in the SoEA

     Though I do understand where you're coming from, I don't think this is something that we Senators should even have a say in in the first place.

We should and do have a say in that. He was confirmed with our advice and consent.

Whether it's particularly reasonable to let that influence his vote on this bill is another matter entirely.

     We had a say in whether he was confirmed or not, but it isn't like he told us how he would act in regards to the recognition of Somaliland. Once we confirm the nominee, it is out of our hands & into those of the President & the nominee himself.

[Earth]

Aye!
