X S019, Acting Governor

[S019]

The Order of the North Star is granted to the following individual for his long and dignified service to Lincoln and Atlasia:

Mr. Ninja0428 of New Jersey for his long and dignified Atlasian career including serving in the offices of Secretary of Internal Affairs, Speaker of the House, and Senator of Lincoln

[S019]

Ninja0428 of Lincoln shall be appointed Minister of Internal Affairs, effective immediately.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

The positions of Minister for Internal Affairs and Minister for Justice were abolished through the Cabinet Reform amendment which passed last election.
Also it's legally questionable whether an Acting Governor has the power to bestow honours.

S019 is acting on behalf of Peanut, who publicly intended to award me the ONS during his term as governor, but forgot to.

He's not acting on behalf of Peanut. Peanut resigned and he, as Chancellor is Acting Governor in the interim period before a new Governor can be elected.

He is acting governor in place of Peanut. Not that it matters, there is no legal limitation to the power of an acting governor, nor is there a reason for you to care.

It's a potential grey area and I thought I might as well point it out after my main point noting the appointment to an office that was abolished four weeks ago.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

It is always presumed than an acting or interim official has all of the powers and prerogatives of the office they (temporarily) assume. Thus we have had interim presidents nominate game moderators and members of the Supreme Court, acting senators vote on and introduce legislation, and acting governors sign bills into law.

The chancellor, who must be a member of the Council, shall have the power [. . .] to administer the functions of the head of state as acting governor upon the death, impeachment, recall, or resignation of the governor, or whenever he should otherwise become unable to execute the duties of his office.

"The functions of the head of state" necessarily includes all powers vested in the governor by law, in absence of a statement to the contrary in the constitution itself.

[Esteemed Jimmy]

Right Honorable Acting Governor, I formally request the right to form a Government in your name. I believe I have the confidence of the Council.

[S019]

Good evening,

I am opening up a Speaker's Questions forum

To avoid this forum becoming a derailed joke, I have some rules:

1. I reserve the right to declare a question frivolous or irrelevant
2. I reserve the right to not answer a question
3. I reserve the right to eject members from the downhill
4. Questions should mainly be about Lincoln and not about me personally or about historical views
5. Questions from Lincoln citizens have priority over residents of other regions

Look forward to hearing your questions!

[KoopaDaQuick 🇵🇸]

Seeing as we are both speakers of regional legislatures, who do you think is best fit to preside over the Southern Chamber of Delegates?

I personally believe that Tim Turner should remain Speaker, and I oppose the attempts to remove him.  Also seeing as promises of activity have arrived from the Office of the Deputy Speaker, it's clear that the Deputy will be active, and the Speaker's main job is to create new threads, which TimTurner does do for new bills. Additionally, the Speaker of the COD has historically been somewhat of a ceremonial position, with the Deputy doing a significant amount of work. So, in short, I oppose the efforts to remove TimTurner and/or PragmaticPopulist.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

1. Why do you refuse to sponsor the Lincoln DICTATORSHIP Act? It's common sense that elections for Governor are unnecessary as no one will ever cast a vote against Sestak again, meme write ins aside.

2. Would you ever buy a gun of any type?

[fhtagn]

Why do you support racist policies?

[Deep Dixieland Senator, Muad'dib (OSR MSR)]

As a Lincolnite why are you carpetbagging outside of Lincoln at every opportunity?

[West_Midlander]

What are your religious beliefs, if any?

A Statement

The recalcitrance of the Governor of Vermont to enforced regulations aimed at containing the novel-coronavirus is alarming to me and my office, as it may have been to many of you. In fact, putting issues of coronavirus aside, we sit here and face the most serious act of nullification since the South broke off in 1860. In fact in 1828, following the passage of the Tariff of 1828 by then President John Quincy Adams, South Carolina attempted to nullify the law, Mr. Adams' successor despite having ideological opposition to the law chose to do his job. Since 1828, lower authorities have been bound to follow laws handed down from higher authorities. The governor of Vermont has shown a complete abdication of government, and I trust that she no longer has the confidence of her people, nor does she have the confidence of me. I would urge the upper echelon of the Federalist Party to alert Mrs. Campbell of the history and danger of nullification in this country. Quite frankly, the stage is set for another Nullification Crisis, the ball is in the Governor's court, what shall she do? The world awaits.

[S019]

Clarification

Let me stress that I wish this to be resolved in a peaceful manner, and urge the governor to resign or urge for the commencement of proceedings regarding articles of impeachment.
