I think you've indirectly forfeited the position, Rowan.

I would think that he would have resigned by default upon becoming a Senator.

He or she shall ensure that the Legislative Assembly has the ability to propose legislation that they are able to be debated on, and voted on during appropriate periods.

Not to be crude, but what the hell does this mean?

I had the same thought so don't feel bad. Tongue It seems like it's basically some sort of supervisory position than one that actually exercises any powers.

When did you move here? And I think I'm illegally the current Lt. Governor.

About a month ago or so.

The bill passes with 2 ayes, no nays, and 3 abstentions by not voting.

Let's be a little better about this in the future, shall we?

Or better yet mandate it but exempt private schools.

Are we ever going to fill the Lieutenant Governor position? That had to have been discussed at least a week ago and we still have taken no formal action.

Homelycooking has informed me that he is willing to serve, but would like to see the position eventually abolished. I'd be perfectly happy with that.

Can we skip to Napoleon's small government legislation over all of my stuff? I want that to pass in my first term.

The SOAP specifically mentions that one specific Representative's legislation can't keep on being brought up and other ones must have a "turn."

Also, homelycooking would be a superb choice.

That last measure fails, btw.  Any amendments should've been offered before voting period began (my fault for not speaking up earlier, I know), and in any case voting was already over.

I shall skip to Napoleon's legislation, which actually must be a constitutional amendment from the looks of it.  Remember that 2/3rds of a majority of the assembly must vote for an amendment.

Simultaneously, I'll also hold a recommendation vote for Lt. Governor over the next 24 hours.  Suggest candidates, ranked by order of preference.

None of those people have yet been nominated.

The formal thing to do would first be to hold a 24 hour recommendation period, then a vote with all nominations on the ballot.

I'll nominate Homelycooking, in that case. Though I appreciate the support, I will have to decline any nomination for the position I would rather abolish. Thank you though. Smiley

This is the 24-hour recommendation period.  It's not a formal vote.
