The White House

[Emsworth]

Thank you, Mr. President, for the appointment.

EarlAW can't be GM becuase he's a Senator...

Why not?

Why not?

Unless the GM isn't considered a position you can't hold two positions at once.

Well, I was under the impression that the President wasn't making EarlAW and Jcar5 co-GMs--instead, he was making an organization the GM.

[Emsworth]

Thank you for the nomination, Mr. President, and congratulations again on becoming the first person to be elected to two terms as President.

[Emsworth]

no former GM can hold elected office for six weeks after they have stopped serving as GM.

This seems to be a little too strict.

[Emsworth]

This could be compromised, but, looking at how long Presidential campaigns, for example, last, can be no lower than 4 weeks.

Four weeks is a very long time in Atlasia. I would prefer a rule that states that no GM may serve in office, or declare his candidacy for any office. This would effectively mean that a GM must resign before beginning his campaign. For presidential election, the GM would normally resign earlier (because the campaign is usually longer), while for other elections he could resign later.

[Emsworth]

We will add that, but there still needs to be some sort of time limit.

The time limit will, effectively, be tied to the candidacy declaration deadline. In order to enter a race, the GM must resign before the deadline passes.
