Looks good to me, although why would we want the Delegate or Vice Delegate to have the power to appoint the speaker of this assembly?

That was to clarify that in instances where the Delegate is not the acting/defacto Assembly Speaker, that the Assembly Speaker can be removed. So for example the Vice Delegate can be removed from the Assembly Speaker position by the Assembly.

Oherwise it would contradict 12.

The Delegate currently appoints the Assembly Speaker, and then the Assembly votes upon them. So no change there.
 
I motion this to vote.

Any seconds?
