Title: ConCon 2015 Presiding Officer Election Thread
Post by: Associate Justice PiT on September 30, 2015, 02:44:04 PM
     All nominations and declarations for Presiding Officer are welcome here. We'll have 48 hours for this, so let's get going.

I will stand for the 'radicals'.

Post by: Unconditional Surrender Truman on September 30, 2015, 03:38:19 PM
I third the nomination of Governor Leinad.


Title: Re: ConCon 2015 Presiding Officer Election Thread
Post by: Senator Cris on September 30, 2015, 04:12:58 PM
I'm supporting Governor Leinad for the position. I'm sure he'll do a great job.

Post by: Classic Conservative on September 30, 2015, 04:19:18 PM
I support Leinad if he accepts the nomination.


Title: Re: ConCon 2015 Presiding Officer Election Thread
Post by: Leinad on September 30, 2015, 04:51:14 PM
Thanks, all of you! The nomination is certainly appreciated--while I wouldn't turn it down if elected, I kind of think someone like Truman or Cris would be better suited for the job.

I nominate Cris for the position of Presiding Officer.

He has the demonstrated skill sets for a position such as this.

If he presides over this convention as well as he presides over the Senate and as well as he runs his campaigns for office, he will do an excellent job I believe.

Seconding Cris, though Truman would also do a fine job.

I third my great friend from Kansas, Speaker of the Senate Cris.


Title: Re: ConCon 2015 Presiding Officer Election Thread
Post by: MyRescueKittehRocks on September 30, 2015, 06:44:22 PM
I'm fourthing Cris.


Title: Re: ConCon 2015 Presiding Officer Election Thread
Post by: Unconditional Surrender Truman on September 30, 2015, 06:59:13 PM
I will stand aside for Cris - he has been a fine Speaker for the Senate and will make a highly satisfactory Presiding Officer for this Convention.


Title: Re: ConCon 2015 Presiding Officer Election Thread
Post by: Lumine on September 30, 2015, 09:48:35 PM
Fully supporting Cris as well.

I would be fine with either Cris or Leinad. :)


Title: Re: ConCon 2015 Presiding Officer Election Thread
Post by: tmthforu94 on October 02, 2015, 11:25:35 AM
I would be fine with any candidate who vows to make sure all voices are heard, both from those within the ConCon and also those who have been shut out of the process.

I would be fine with any candidate who vows to make sure all voices are heard, both from those within the ConCon and also those who have been shut out of the process.

I am confident that Cris, if elected, will be a fair and inclusive Presiding Officer of the Con Con.

He has demonstrated these qualities as Speaker of the Senate, he has ran his election campaigns for office in an organized manner, and I truly believe that he cares deeply about the best interests of Atlasia.

No Presiding Officer in their right mind would attempt to use the office in a partial or partisan manner, and no Presiding Officer in their right mind would try to exclude anybody who wants to have an input.  Those who are not delegates, I believe, would have to have a delegate present their input to the Con Con, which keeps proceedings more organized.

Should a Presiding Officer act in this way, be partial or partisan, or ignore input, he could be removed and replaced, I am sure.

Post by: Associate Justice PiT on October 02, 2015, 06:34:12 PM
     48 hours have passed. Leinad didn't say he was refusing the nomination, so I think it's time we have a vote. The vote will also last 48 hours.

Presiding Officer:

[  ] Leinad

Seconded. The ballot didn't have the right candidates--it should be me, Cris, and Oakvale. We were all nominated and didn't explicitly reject the nomination.

FTR I actually don't care about restarting the vote since the result is a foregone conclusion due to the ultra-conservative (in reform terms) composition of this convention, but lol.

I'd like to ask Senator PiT to re-open the election for Presiding Officer, so that we can confirm that there isn't any conspiracy against oakvale (LOL).

The conspiracy (not against myself but against those who propose wiping the slate clean) has already won in picking the delegates. No vote's necessary.

This. While it may be true that the outcome of such a vote is "predetermined", we must not allow this mishap to become ammunition for the opponents of reform.
