Estimats Senators,
Our colleague from Florencia has objected to and requested a vote upon my ruling in re: the election of the Lord President currently being conducted. The text of my ruling can be found here: https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?msg=23421
The request, as I understand it, is that the election of the presiding officer shall be suspended until such a time as Maricopa's senator is seated. I have already offered to push back the deadline by 48 hours (barring objection to such) to allow mediation time requested by Justice Cjantscheir. (Found here: https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=2804.0)
I feel like this falls (sort of) under Standing Rules 3.1, where the Mençei is empowered to make rulings on Senatorial eligibility, but that this can be overturned by a vote from the body. Structurally speaking, it is the closest thing that we have in law, even if it is not a perfect fit.
This vote will run for a period of 1 week from this posting, to conclude on 10/23/23 @ 3pm Talossan time. An affirmative vote shall suspend the election for presiding officer. A negative will allow it to continue. Should a majority of the body agree in one direction beforehand, this vote will conclude immediately.
