The President of the Senate is responsible for posting slider instructions in the Turn Chat Instruction Thread. However, there are no provisions in the 3 Books for the absence of the Sentate President. This thread is to discuss if we want to amend our laws to account for this problem.
The Senate of the President is defined in CoL C.1.a.2:
(By the way, you can see the sub-section B should have been listed as A.)
The problem comes in at CoL C.1.c:
One possible solution would be to add a sub-section 2 with wording along these lines:
The Senate of the President is defined in CoL C.1.a.2:
Code:
2. The Senatorial President shall be the Vice-President
B. The Senatorial President shall be empowered to
vote only when a Senate vote is tied.
(By the way, you can see the sub-section B should have been listed as A.)
The problem comes in at CoL C.1.c:
Code:
c. The Senate shall meet prior to each turn chat and
vote on the slider settings for the next game play
session in a Senate Slider poll.
1. The results of this vote shall be posted by the
Senatorial President in the game play session
instruction thread.
One possible solution would be to add a sub-section 2 with wording along these lines:
Code:
2. The Senior Senator may post instructions for the
Senate under the following circumstances.
i. Should no instructions be posted by the
President of the Senate within 24 hours of the
scheduled start of the game play session.
ii. The President of the Senate is on a declared absence.
