The Southern constitution states:

6. Vacancies in the Southern Legislature shall be filled in a manner specified by law, and until such determination is made, by Gubernatorial appointment. Vacancies occur upon resignation, recall, impeachment, failure to swear in within one week of the legislative session opening or failure to vote on final passage of four consecutive pieces of legislation without publicly declaring absence.

Unfortunately, Delegate Spiral has missed 4 consecutive votes as of tonight (has not posted on this subforum in 2+ weeks). As a result, Spiral has been automatically expelled and a replacement will need to be nominated.
