As many of you have noticed, I decided not to run for a 4th term as Speaker, partly because I think I've done all that I can for 3 terms and the job is quite draining. (In regards to sniffles' campaign post, I actually have only held this job for 3 terms, not 5). However, I don't know what I'll...

Originally drafted by Flemingovia:

Originally drafted by Chief Justice Byardkuria -- I would like to bring up the slight formatting issue of whether this is going to be a TNP Law (I think it is -- I don't think its a Constitutional addition). Edit: Added the three words in italics that Unter suggested.

I'm going to put up the Justices proposal by Hers up for a re-vote, since one month has passed. I'm using this thread to notify people -- I don't want to proceed directly to a vote in case there are complaints, but shortly (within a few days) if there are no objections, I will open a new voting...

First proposed by Heft:

Submitted by Heft: This is a move to create a separate appendix from the Constitution for notes on how the Constitution was updated/changed. The quoted part would be the text of such an appendix.

Hersfold asked in the voting thread whether the bill would affect the current AJ's we're confirming now. In my own personal opinion, I don't think there's a problem. The current AJ's get confirmed, and their terms are up in November, as per the bill if it passes.

This from Hersfold, regarding the Article V:

I actually had the idea of posting this a couple weeks ago, but I never got around to doing it and the other "Justice" thread started me thinking on it again. I read in article in the LA Times from a month or two ago about Japan's death row, which I found more than a little disturbing. I'm not...

I'm not sure if someone's proposed this before, but... I think we should merge the MoAE and MoCE positions. There's not much practical difference between the two -- the MoAE is responsible for OOC stuff, but a combined position (I'll call it Minister of Culture) could do the OOC stuff in...

I think I will dispense with any long speeches this time around. Instead I want to highlight what the RA has accomplished in this past term -- not only have we had another term of open, honest, and civil debate, but the voters in the RA have made some real progress in streamlining the...

This was just passed inthe RA..

I would like to remind and urge all Cabinet Ministers and deputies to vote on the Statute of Limitation vote currently ongoing. There are only a couple of days remaining.

I guess I'll be the first. BUY the following SBUX 50 MSFT 50 HPQ 50 WFMI 30 COH 30

Submitted by Grosseschnauzer for formal discussion:

This is a separate discussion for the question of whehther a treasonous offense should have a statute of limitation, what treason should be defined as, and even whether or not we want to address the issue. There have been some comments about treason in the Statute of Limitations thread...

Mr. Chief Justice and Associate Justices - I would like to submit a judicial review request regarding the issue of admissibility of classified/secret/unknown intelligence coming from the NPIA, NPA, or other person(s) in matters brought before the Security Council. To provide some historical...

Firstly, excuse my posting in the Cabinet Meeting Room, but the following proposal hasn't seen any comments for a few days and I believe it should be passed on to the Cabinet for approval. This is a proposal originally written by myself, changing the Constitution so that any given...

To IG and all other members of the A&E Treehouse (of Horror!) -- On the heels of the very successful 1st TNP Winter Games hosted by Hersfold, I was thinking that it might be a good idea to establish a TNP Games as a regular occurrence. Not only did all of us have fun, but it would be a...

So since the TNP-naming of our board is going a little slowly, I thought I wouldn't keep you guys waiting. Ator, GBM, and AI.. if you're here and sitll want to play, sign in :P

I have an idea -- I don't know whether it will work out very well, but here goes.. a sort of Virtual Monopoly. Here's how it would work -- each game, 4 players join me (the banker/host) and on each person's turn, I will "roll" for the person and say what board space they landed on, etc etc...

This is something that I started wondering about during the election. The Constitution specifices Cabinet positions and "Cabinet-level" positions. Specifically, I was wondering whether this applies to the Speakership position on the subject of term limits. I know that the phrase "Cabinet-level"...

I thought I'd post this request publicly. For purposes of clarity, could a global mod rename the Legislative Discussion subforum to something that is more clear as to what proposals are currently housed there? For example, "Preliminary Legislative Discussions" is probably too long, but...

I've noticed in this election that there is a small trend of candidates saying that they will appoint so-and-so to be their Deputy if they themselves get elected. I'm not trying to single anyone out, and I'm sure that those who have done so this election cycle are merely trying to gather the...

I'm putting this in the main RA forum since it's not really a law or proposal so to speak, but rather a general discussion amongst everyone on these boards. As I mentioned in my campaign thread, I would throw out some ideas to encourage participation in the RA. I don't like the idea of enforced...

First of all, with elections looming, I'd just like to say it's been an honor serving as Speaker for the past 3+ months. Those of you who have participated in votes and debates have made the RA stronger because of that mere presence, and for that I am grateful. After all, the RA is truly what...

Well, I hope to keep this statement short and sweet. Everyone (hopefully) has prior experience browsing around the RA forum here, so you all know me as the current Speaker. I'm running for another term because I believe there's more to be done in solidifying the RA as a solid legislative body...

From Hers, for formal discussion:
