The President should have sole authority with this position. Bgwah was a rather stubborn and unique case, there's no reason why the Senate needs to barge into a President's authority just because you lost a court cause to take over the executive decisions.

     But if we are going to call this a meta-game position rather than an executive office, is there any particular reason why the President should have sole discretion over the Game Moderator as if it were another cabinet position?

As a meta-game position, it still must fit into the game somehow. This way we split the responsibilities between the President and Senate.

     Yes, I know that it must fit into the game. The plan was to dos o by treating it as a cabinet position. However, given how helpful the office, properly discharged, is to the function of the Senate, I do not see the special need of making it something that the Senate has no jurisdiction over.

We could always deny confirmation or remove the GM if he fails in his duties.

     I'm pretty sure that we agree on this issue. I was responding to Senator Marokai's statement that we should not be barging in on the President's decisions.

Oh then carry on. Wink

I suppose I'm on the fence here. I personally believe it should be up to the President as it currently is, and not really up to the Senate. But, I have no reason to make a big deal of my opposition. (And changing the law, I suppose, is the proper way to go about it if we have to.) Leaning towards just abstaining.

Fine with me.

Does this even need presidential approval. It is unclear, but can't hurt. I guess "by regular statute" means it does.

That's the spirit!

Congratulations to everyone for the hard work put into this cause. I thank NC Yank for cosponsoring this and everyone who put in their time to make this happen all the way from the last Senate.
