Once everyone is sworn in we can start the process of electing a Speaker.

Gentlemen of the first Assembly,

Congratulations on your elections.  The people of the North trust that you will each help carry out a productive first session.  After this body elects its Speaker and the Governor appoints a Lieutenant Governor among you, I urge you to address the SOAP I drafted here and vote on the regional symbols proposed here as your first orders of business.

As your senator, I'll be a keen observer of this body's deliberations and will always be available for input or assistance.

Best of luck to all of you!

The proposed rules of order look good, and I will be supporting them.  Smiley

Excellent, glad to see this up and running! Our regional legislatures are the most undervalued, but no less vital institutions in our republic. I wish the delegates of the new Assembly the best of fortunes; if ever I or the State Department may be of service to you, please don't hesitate to say so.

From my (admittedly hurried) review of it, the SOAP drafted by Senator Scott seems to be in good order. The one error I found was in Section 5(A): the clause references a position ("Chief Judicial Officer") which does not exist.

When it comes time to select a regional flag, I ask the Assembly to review the designs in this thread, which were submitted by several citizens (including Senator Scott and myself). I believe Delegate Clyde proposed holding a referendum on the regional flag at the time; for myself, while it is not my place to decide the matter, I think that such would be the best way to select a flag that all citizens can be proud of.

Clyde and Logan Palmer still need to swear in before we can get moving.

Yes, I see they have not done that yet.  Sad

Yeah. I'm basically waiting for confirmation about what happens to my seat - as I believe there is a law (correctly) preventing double jobbing. Even if there isn't, I won't take the seat - as there were other people in the election and I don't want to prevent anyone from holding a seat. I'm not sure if it goes to the next candidate who would've been elected or whether a special election will have to take place, which is what needs to be confirmed.

There will be a special election to choose your replacement. The next session of Congress doesn't begin until September 2, though, so until then you are a lawfully-seated member of the Assembly.

Thank you. Smiley

I've just sworn in. Hopefully we can get the SOAP done before I need to resign to enable the next delegate to get to work quickly after the election.

I think Clyde is probably the most qualified person to be Speaker, then LLR.

I'll be happy to take on the role if no-one else wants to do it.

Sounds like we have a consensus pick, then.  Let's get this ball rolling.  Smiley

Is this where I'd appoint the Lt. Governor?

After looking over the regional Constitution....I'd have to say that I don't know.  At this time, there appears to be nothing in the rules that prohibits one from being Lt. Governor and Speaker at the same time....correct me if I'm wrong, please.

I don't see why you can't do both. We should really get moving with actual legislation.
