Confirmation Hearing: SJoyceFla as Secretary of External Affairs (Confirmed)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

PRESS RELEASE

President Polnut tonight nominated IDS Legislator SJoyceFla to serve as the next Secretary of External Affairs.

The President made this statement... "SoEA is an often thankless position, but it is deeply important and as a president that has a focus on foreign policy, whom I nominate must have a number of clear qualities.

The most important of which is knowledge, the SoEA must not only know what is going on in the rest of the world, but also know the mechanisms of global organisations and diplomacy.

Taking that into consideration, I have been deeply impressed with SJoyceFla's understanding and enthusiasm, therefore I have no hesitation in nominating him to serve in my Cabinet."

Senators have a maximum of 72 hours to question the nominee.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I would like to know the nominee's opinions about India, Russia and Sudan.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Without a motion for an extention, this will end tomorrow at 7 PM or so and be brough to a vote.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I'm not sure I agree with all your positions, but it's clear that you know the issues and you're willing to work hard.  I'll vote to confirm.

Can we get to a final vote?

Actually such is required since no extention was requested and time has expired.

I couldn't get onling yesterday, unfortunately.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

With time having expired and no extention being requested, confirmation of SJoyceFla is now at vote.
