Call for a Steward's Election
Posted: Thu Dec 31, 2009 2:11 pm

Brookshire hereby calls for an election of the position of Steward, provided that the Kaiser accepts the outcome of the election.
Charter, Article 1, Section E:d
The Landsraad may elect a Steward at anytime it feels one is necessary, with the approval of the Kaiser.
As worded by the Kaiser, the time for nominations went out several days ago, which since the Kaiser has not taken initiative to appoint himself a steward, therefore, forcing the Landsraad to nominate one candidate before His Majesty.
The candidates are, I believe:
Erik Mortis, Earl of Dolor
Malliki Tosha, Baron of Lakhesis
Thank you.

Greater Lakhesis casts two (2) votes for Malliki Tosha.
I also wish to note the Erik for Steward irony.

The good lady will be... recovering for the day. But It is about time that I reappeared.
So. If I'm not mistaken I have 1 vote to throw my weight around with?
Wintergleam casts
1 vote in favor of
Lady Isabelle Allot II

First of all, Lady Isabelle is not a candidate. Second, she would have to resign as Praetor to become Steward.

And who pray-tell decides the candidates? You?
I gave her a vote as it is my right to do.
And that would be her choice to make when the time comes.

Why is it that the one time I decide to NOT check this website, everyone needs me?

What do you want?

ERIK: [Dolor (2)]
MALLIKI: [Brookshire (6)] [G. Lakhesis (2)] [Yardistan (10)] === 18

If we, the Landraad, are invoking our right to elect a Steward as we see fit, then we should not take the Kaiser's topic of nominations as the be-all, end-all list of candidates that can run. The only reason I see a vote for Lady Isabelle as being invalid at this point is because Lady Isabelle has not herself either announced an intention to run for this position nor confirmed a nomination of another.

Constitutionally correct as you are, Harvey, I am quite happy with the position of Praetor. I refuse Leo's nomination for Steward.

Well, until the vote was over you could remain Praetor.

There is no provision regarding elections anywhere that I can find. So I would just go with the normal procedure for a bill.

LOL @ this.
This new year's is going to be remembered for a hell of a lot of constitutional dilemmas.

Since we've already started with the numbered votes, we'll keep it. If Malliki were still a Duke and you were a Baron I would object, but since you're on equal footing, I don't see a problem.

The 1 for 1 vote during elections is merely traditional, not legally mandated.

Come on people, vote. So far only Brookshirithians have voted! Do you want the future of this country to be in the hands of Brookshire?

Procedures wrote:1. After a bill has been presented to the Landsraad, there is a period of exactly four days (96 hours) during which the members of the Landsraad can then vote on it.
This should have closed yesterday.

Sort of an odd plea to make considering that Brookshirithians are the only two names on the ballot...

I would have voted for Allot had she accepted. I didn't want to vote for anyone from Brookshire.
