DaveShack, please mention the poll is public next time. I know it's rather obvious, but you are trying to do things as formally correct as possible, so.

Or you could look through some of the old threads to see why ...

Originally, Governors were impeached only by the Governor's council, yielding an exploit by a political party to gain control of all Governor-ships. (Get 60% of Council, impeach the rest. Repeat until only party member's are in the office).

AW's response:

I had not intended for it to be an exploit, Governor can no longer be impeached.

Now you know ... The Rest of the Story (tm Paul Harvey)!

This one can now go on the books as soon as the Censor has validated it.

You were really waiting for me? The beauty of my system allows for the poll to be assumed valid 48 hours after it closes.

Close enough. As Censor, I hereby find this poll to be official and valid as a binding Initiative of the Citizen's Assembly.
