Appointment Day: Vice Presidency
Provolution Well, Donsig is not eligible for Vice President, not having signed in the citizen thread before 1 March. The Judiciary should follow the law and ask for a registered citizen to be nominated by the President (registered prior to March 1. ) and respect the law and the citizen registry list.
Chieftess hmm, I thought anyone could be nominated as long as they signed up. I don't think there should be a cut-off date. What about those who join mid-term? Are they going to be forced to wait a whole term? If only those registered before March 1st can be nominated, then that's pretty restrictive.
Donovan Zoi With no laws in place, we should let it slide this time. But I see Provo's point because ideally the President should have named a VP on March 1st. I think if someone is appointed to fill a mid-term vacancy, then the restriction should not apply as long as the citizen is registered at the time.
Provolution DZ I remember you from last game wanting a citizen approval poll for every conceivable contested decision, and to follow the law.
This should definitively be done here as well, unless the Pesident picks a registered citizen prior to 1 March. I suggest this to be handed in for Judicial review, all the other registered and rejected Vice Presidential candidates that have been rejected to benotified by public announcement and PMs and to have an open Judicial Review on the Matter. DZ, you learnt me to protect citizen rights and the rules, and even though you are a close PBEM buddy to the nominated VP as your signature suggests, I firmly believe in the equality of the Law. I therefore deem the nominated VP as illegtimate by the Constitution and Appoinment Laws and call for a new appointment.
I also cannot see the nominated VP register yet, at all.
Dominik Now I'm not the most familiar with laws, but if the law says that the VP must have signed up before March 1st and the VP in question hasn't, then they should not be VP. Otherwise, what's the point for these laws?
Provolution Dominik, indeed they do. We need a new VP nomination.
Black Hole well first off we have no laws saying there is a DP, president, or vice president, or any other position.... These are in the ratifacation process... It is very very hard for me to give a concise opinion, because we have constitution articles lying all over the forum
Tim Bentley I'm not concerned about the time of registration, but I also do not see donsig in the citizen registry.
Provolution Well it is a no-brainer, Donsig did not register at all by the time of the appointment, so a new appointment needs to be made based on the registry prior to 1. of March. We need to respect the election times and due procedure or we will get anarchy.
Black Hole I would suggest someone file a JR over this matter
Ginger Ale What is the point of a JR? Can we not just have donsig sign up in the Citizen Registry and be VP? We don't have to turn this into something more than it is.
Provolution Ginger Ale, this is a government simulation, and without that a mere succession game. Without laws, we wouldhave no Judiciary. I know you are not into legalities and politics Ginger Ale but respect those of us wanting this to be a civilized game.
Ravensfire Worst case, DS reappoints donsig as VP. Life goes on.
Provo - relax - there is no malicious intent here.
Provolution Well, with no citizen partipation in the Judiciary, we would get poorer laws and poorer application of the laws, I will not let a blind eye to the legal handling this game, but do my best to perfect the system and the laws. I also do this to make the game more accessible and fair to all of the citizens.

Provo - a much nicer way to handle this would have been a simple - "Hey, donsig, I noticed you hadn't registered as a citizen yet. Could you do that real quick?" Problem solved. The courts should not be the first way to handle every single problem. Respect your fellow citizens, of which donsig is most definitely one.
Black Hole Mr. President, JR#1 has been completed, you may now reappoint donsig(who has registered) to the position of Vice President, if you so desire.
Blackheart I'm still available to be VP *hint hint*
