Holy cripes.

I guess I'm not going to be the most prolific Pacific legislative sponsor for long

Ok now I'm done.

[PJ]

Basically, that's the Pacific's attorney? Well, I've done that. We'll hash over my rates and if my services are desired, I could do that. I'm leaning against a Senate run anyway.

Great!

I HEREBY NOMINATE DEMPGH FOR THE POSITION OF DEFENDER OF THE PACIFICANS.

Mr Speaker,

We need a thread opened to confirm DemPGH for DotP.

Councillor drj101 has not logged on to the forum in 16 days, announced she would leave the forum, did not resign from her council seat, and has missed much more than three consecutive votes. In accordance with Article 3, Section 2, Clause 6 of the Constitution, I move for an expulsion vote.

Thank you!

I think we need to hold off on the amendments until we repeal the resolution on amendment ratification, which is being voted on btw.

[Flake]

I, Flo, officially resign as a Pacific Councillor and the Pacific Speaker effective immediately.

[Citizen Hats]

Well, Shoot

[PJ]

Well, Shoot

I have a replacement lined up, but I need their consent first.

DemPGH, Hats, either of you want to be Speaker?
