The Office of Former President & Senator Polnut - Deregistration

[Marokai Backbeat]

The biggest lacking part in this game are any tangible consequences for actions that we take.

Could not agree more, honestly. It's difficult to do in the game, of course, (since it is, you know, a game) but I think it's possible. I think one of the biggest problems is we've always had the backwards approach. For a really long time everyone always used to say "we need to make the Senate actually react to events!" because time and time again, the GM would lay out events, and the Senate wouldn't react. But then the Senate started doing more stuff and actually did start paying attention, but the situation just kept staying the same. It got kind of ridiculous where we basically just have a new recession every 6 months.

I think instead of "we need to make the Senate respond to our actions" we need to switch it around and think "we need to take into account Senate actions and respond to them." Who knows, could work.

Almost something like a "refresh" to Atlasia? Perhaps a "legislative reboot"? You're not wrong.

I'm biased as all hell, I'm sure, but I'd actually be totally down for hosting a debate between Teddy and yourself. I think I can promise to be tough on both of you.

Question for Bacon King:

Should you go inactive, like you did as a Senator multiple times, and are unable to perform your duties as Vice President well, can you promise the Atlasian people that'll you'll step down from office?

I do not forsee anything like that happening at all, but yes, if I did become inactive I would resign.

Would you remember to actually resign in time before the term ended?

Congratulations indeed, Polnut.

[Marokai Backbeat]

I'm very happy to serve on a Game Reform proposal committee. My deepest thanks, Polnut.

[Marokai Backbeat]

You are one of the few people in the JCP who still believes in doing the right thing, not bowing to party pressure. You were honest and likable and very frank. I would've voted for you without a second thought, and it saddens me to see you decline to run again, and worries me where the future of Atlasia is going.

[Marokai Backbeat]

You'll get my first preference, my friend. We need more sane voices in the Senate. Best of luck.

[Marokai Backbeat]

Congratulations, Polnut. I had very little doubt you would win.

[Marokai Backbeat]

Good choice. Ben's done great work with the new role of the SoEA.

[Marokai Backbeat]

You've been a great SoEA and friend throughout my term, and I'm happy to have had your service. Overall I feel quite proud of my cabinet choices. I look forward to your future moves.

As someone who was once on the Court, I think Mechaman is correct; there's a pretty solid argument that it is unconstitutional.

I definitely see the value in federal legislation that would mandate that mentions of marriage in K-12 education be presented in a gender-neutral fashion.
