Northeast Assembly Thread

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Voting for this Bill has now closed -
Ayes - 1
Nays - 3

The Bill fails.

As the next order of business I'd like to officially propose the business of this session of the Assembly has ended - and has risen, pending the outcome of the regional elections.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I hereby return the gavel of the Speaker, and wish my successor to this office the best of luck.

Thank you for your service

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Can we open proceedings for the new legislature yet?

[Sbane]

I guess we need to elect a speaker first.

[tpfkaw]

I will run for Speaker.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

I second Wormy for speaker.

[The Economist]

I'd like to nominate Sbane for Speaker.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Anyone else interested in running for speaker should speak up now, otherwise we will begin elections for speaker at around 9 PM EST today and elections will last 24 hours. Whoever wins will be elected speaker. Also, I second Sbane for speaker. We currently have two candidates for speaker: Wormy and Sbane. Again, speak up if you're interested.

Do you have any authority to do this?

No sir But without a speaker, isn't technically an endless loophole with nobody running the elections? Somebody's gotta step up to the plate

[tpfkaw]

Also, I second Sbane for speaker.

You can't second two different people for speaker.

No, but TBH I don't really care.

Not nominating, just seconding the motion

You don't need to second the motion.

You don't need to second the motion.

Alright then. So anyway, I assume no one else is really interested in running for speaker?

Well, only four of us have sworn in...

Normally the Lieutenant Governor conducts the vote for Speaker. I'm not positive as to when the Lieutenant Governor swears-in, but I think it is right after the Northeast Elections.

If that is to be the case, Rowan can swear in for a few days, move the floor, conduct the vote, and then resign to be Northeast Senator. Following that, the Northeast Assembly will conduct a recommendation vote for a new Lieutenant Governor (though it has no bearing on the Governor's decision.)

If that is not the case and I am wrong, the Northeast Governor (Mint) can assume the responsibilities of the Northeast Lieutenant Governor and conduct the floor until a Speaker is selected.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Who else do we need? FallenMorgan, Ghost_white, Rowan and Napoleon?

[tpfkaw]

Who else do we need? FallenMorgan, Ghost_white, Rowan and Napoleon?

FallenMorgan and maybe Napoleon are the only ones likely to swear in, for obvious reasons.

I talked to Napoleon recently and he didn't even know what the assembly does. He said he wrote himself in because he didn't know anyone on the ballot.

While I am honored that The Economist and Jake have nominate me for Speaker, I must respectfully decline. I have only been in the Assembly for two months and am still getting the hang of things. Wormy has more experience and I have no doubts he will be a great Speaker.

So, with Wormy running unopposed, can we conclude that it'd be best to just say Wormy is hereby elected Speaker and we begin?

I'd rather the Assembly not cast procedure to the wayside. It was a BFD to me when I was Speaker.

Then we'll have the election as planned.

2011 Northeast Assembly Speaker Election Ballot

[ ] Write-in:_______________

Please cast your vote for ONE (1) Member of the Northeast Assembly that you wish to be Speaker of the Assembly. If you choose to write-in someone, that person must approve the vote otherwise the vote will be rendered void. Do not edit your post 20 minutes after submitting your vote, otherwise it will be rendered void. Happy voting!

Hold the phone dude. You don't have any authority to do this.

I checked the Constitution, and the Gov/Lt Gov swear-in following the election. I have PMed Rowan outlining the situation to him and asking him to swear-in, and hopefully he obliges. Elsewise, Governor Ghost can conduct the vote.
