Your wish is my command!

I am happy to announce the (tardy) opening of the 1st Thaecian Senate! More information is available in the factbook linked here:



The Senate's Place in Thaecia

The Senate is the upper legislative chamber of Thaecia's bicameral legislature. Its creation and powers, like the House, are defined in Article III of the Constitution. It has the authority to approve of the Prime Minister's judicial appointments. It is composed of 5 senators, one of which is chosen to control the Senate's agenda (the Chairman) by the majority party/coalition.

Hello members of the Thaecian Senate!
I’m very happy to have this opportunity to help craft and approve legislation with all of you. I hope that we can work together and avoid petty squabbles between political parties, because really, are we that different?

It’s true. They don’t have any seats in the senate though, do they?

that doesn't matter, they will totally find a way, duuuuuude

Titanne

Also who is the Shadow Chairman? The leader of the second largest coalition?
Or does the Shadow Chairman act as an assistant of sorts to Taralania?

Fair enough

I feel that our constitutional review must put an emphasis on the Supreme Court of Thaecia. How will we appoint the justices?
Will they serve a set term or a life-long term?

Welcome, Senate chairman broustan, to the Senate! May your tenure be fruitful and productive.

Senate chairman broustan

Here's our first topic of debate! Factbook arguments should be submitted in this order:
Myrineos
Titanne
Kilage
Broustan
If you all would be so kind as to read and write quickly I would really appreciate it. Something I just realized, make sure you put your main points in the Factbook, but debate can simply be done here in the RMB.

Hi guys! Slightly confused as to what I’m commenting on. Isn’t that a house bill?

Senate chairman broustan

It is, but it's passed the house, so it's our turn to debate it. If we give it the ok, it's a law. If we vote it down we send it back to the house.

Ohhhh ok. Thanks again.

SNAP ELECTION FOR THE THAECIAN SENATE
The upper chamber of the Thaecian legislature has, in essence, collapsed due to inactivity. To ratify this situation, the leaders of the Senate have agreed to call a snap election. All citizens (WA residents) are eligible to vote and run in this election. Votes cast by non-WA nations without a waiver shall be excluded from the final result. The election will take place on the 6th April. To declare your candidacy for this election, you must inform (by any means) President Xernon of your intention to run by the 5th April. If you do not, you will be excluded from the ballot.

Best of luck to all candidates and parties.

Congratulations to the following citizens for their election victory:
