I'm against a mandated citizenship official. If the Delegate wants to appoint one, I'm fine with that because that's authorized by Article II, Section 5 of Mandate 12. But mandating a citizenship official vested with the Delegate's authority when the Delegate may not want such an official would...

Just fyi, I changed my nation in the region to Cormactopia II.

I would go with Aye, For, Nay, Against, Abstain, Present.

(1) American English is the de facto

If we stick with only one, it should be Aye/Nay/Abstain. People are used to that, which means even if we put something else in the procedures, we're still going to get people casting votes of Aye/Nay/Abstain because they haven't read the procedures and those are the standard votes pretty much...

Aye

I don't like "appropriate synonym." Too much ambiguity and Speaker discretion, leading to complaints and potential legal challenges. Is "YOLO" an appropriate synonym for Aye, or not? I would argue it could be. Some would probably argue it couldn't. You see the issue. You might think the issue is...

Nay

Effective immediately, I resign as Assembly Speaker. I've notified Imki and she knew of my intent to resign in advance, though I had still intended to wait a few more days. But I've barely been able to be around and it's holding things up in the Assembly, even if just ever so slightly. I...

Nay

Aye

A vote on these nominations has been opened here.

A motion and a second have been received for the Delegate's nominations to the Cabinet of Lazarus. This is a vote to confirm Cabinet Ministers. As such, each nominee requires a 50%+1 majority to be confirmed. Citizens may vote "Aye," "Nay," or "Abstain" on each nominee or on the nominees...

Nay

I will allow an additional 24 hours for more questions, or for the nominees to answer outstanding questions, before bringing this to vote.

The Criminal Powers Amendment is now at vote here.

A motion and a second have been received for the Criminal Powers Amendment. This is a vote on a constitutional amendment. As such, it requires a three-quarters supermajority to pass. Citizens may vote "Aye," "Nay," or "Abstain." The timing allotted for this vote is five days. Voting will end on...

I will second the Delegate's motion to vote. That said, and I'm sure Imki would agree with me, I'll go ahead and exercise the Speaker's prerogative to delay a vote for up to seven days if it hasn't had enough discussion. I won't set a certain length on that -- I'll just wait and see when...

I'm not fond of the idea of the Court conducting criminal reviews without a petitioner. That would allow the Court to investigate someone for criminal wrongdoing on a whim, which just increases the likelihood of corruption and abuse of power down the road.

I meant to say this earlier and then got caught up in the procedure of it all, but full support from me for all these nominations.
