All right, more than 2 days having passed, I'm officially speaker. The proposal before the Senate is an amendment passed unanimously by the Assembly:


Whereas, in Benito as currently constituted, the Arvitieir Prima has a whole bunch of power on the provincial level, while the Noval Representanteu (Senator) doesn't have any, and

Whereas, the logical Maestro of the province currently is the same guy who is the current Noval Representanteu (Senator);

It is so resolved that

Article 23 of the Provincial Constitution, which currently reads:
"So that no conflict of interest may occur, or that no one individual may take over the province in a hostile attempt, no-one may hold more than one of the offices of Maestro, Viceré, or Noval Representanteu simultaneously. The Viceré also may not hold seats in the Provincial Chancellery."

shall be amended to read:
"So that no conflict of interest may occur, or that no one individual may take over the province in a hostile attempt, no-one may hold more than one of the offices of Maestro, Viceré, or Arvitieir Prima simultaneously. The Viceré also may not hold seats in the Provincial Chancellery."


Voting on the proposal will be open for one week or until there is a clear majority for/against the proposal.

I vote in favor.

@Istefan Perþonest, how do we pay you the fees again?

The best way is to send $10 via PayPal to stamps@talossa.com . I can support other methods as necessary.

Well, the Assembly just passed a constitutional amendment, which would come on over here for consideration, but by rule the first thing the Senate has to do each session is elect a speaker.

The people currently entitled to serve in the Senate are, I believe:

    @Iason Bitxichë Taiwos
    Tric'hard Carschaleir
    @Flip Molinar
    @Istefan Perþonest

Per the rules in the Constitution, then, one of us makes a motion of the form "That Senator X do take the Chair as Speaker", and then, since it's a motion, there's two days' voting.

I accordingly move that Senator Perþonest do take the Chair as Speaker, and vote in my own favor, like the arrogant power-seizing fiend I am.

Well, then, as I proposed it and I have all the other seats in the Assembly, that's unanimous, and time to scoot it over to the Senate of Benito.

It having been a week without comment, I'm now bringing the proposed amendment to a vote:


Whereas, in Benito as currently constituted, the Arvitieir Prima has a whole bunch of power on the provincial level, while the Noval Representanteu (Senator) doesn't have any, and

Whereas, the logical Maestro of the province currently is the same guy who is the current Noval Representanteu (Senator);

"So that no conflict of interest may occur, or that no one individual may take over the province in a hostile attempt, no-one may hold more than one of the offices of Maestro, Viceré, or Noval Representanteu simultaneously. The Viceré also may not hold seats in the Provincial Chancellery."

I should have run this through a while back, when it first occurred to me, but better late than never.

HAHAHAHA it's not as easy as that
Did you introduce a two-vote threshold while I was looking away or something? If not then yes, it is as easy as that!

You also have to pay $10!
Don't worry, I have more than just $10 to spare, but also I have more than enough time to pay the fee after the first results are published, as far as I know. Speaking of which: if a party were to get zero seats for whatever reason (not the case here, one vote is enough), do they still have to pay the fee?


This is gonna be interesting!

Only parties with Cosa seats pay the fee.
Slightly more precisely, the only consequence of not paying a fee is not getting your seat(s). If you paid in advance, you can't get a refund for not getting a seat. This is because of El Lexhatx 9.2: "Once a fee has been received by the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue and/or their appointed agents, it is not refundable for any reason."

(At least, that's how I would handle it administratively with my Burgermeister hat on. I am not offering an official legal interpretation with my Puisne Justice hat on, and in any case I'd have to recuse myself as a Justice if anyone sued the Burgermeister for their fee back.)

I've received no record of any party paying fees yet.
Which is because no party has paid a fee yet.
