[Discussion] Speaker Appointment

[Amerion]

1: Probably not. I'm a student and can't really afford to spend money on things like stamps so it would have to be done manually. This would take an exorbitant amount of time. One of the reasons we use off-site platforms like discord is because in matters like this they are so much more convenient.

Stamps should not be an issue. Should you be confirmed, the Delegate will no doubt grant you RO powers of communication, allowing you to mass-telegram people.

2: Given that the mandate predates the assembly procedures act, I see no particular problem with it not meeting that standard. Despite this apparent shortcoming, the mandate is clear and concise. Changing it to meet a later standard doesn't have any real benefits and is risky.

So it is your position that the Mandate's formatting overrides those found in Acts of the Assembly? Does this mean I can use italics again

[Amerion]

Oh, one more question

Do you think Speakers should be able to vote?

Stamps should not be an issue. Should you be confirmed, the Delegate will no doubt grant you RO powers of communication, allowing you to mass-telegram people.

I'm not sure that could be limited to just citizens, but then again it could be used as a tool to encourage residents to take up citizenship. Maybe it could be a collaboration between myself and the relevant minister.

So it is your position that the Mandate's formatting overrides those found in Acts of the Assembly? Does this mean I can use italics again  

No. It is my position that the mandate, which is exempted from formatting rules by the Assembly Procedure Act and predates that law anyway, does not need to be amended to meet those later standards. The Mandate does not serve as an exemplar of formatting; laws must meet the standards laid out in the Assembly Procedure Act before they can go to vote.

Do you think Speakers should be able to vote?

Yes. I don't think not being able to vote makes somebody impartial and I'd rather see the Speaker's opinion above board.

[Amerion]
