If no one has any Objections I call for a Vote of All three Bills. So we can get this done ASAP

Bill RC.1 Requirements for Citizenship

RC.1 (Aye/Nay)

You have 48 hours to vote on the Following bills in the interest of Keeping things Moving. After the Bills are voted on we can discuss any further Legislation that may need to be completed by this senate before we hand the reigns over.

Liberal Malaysia, Tellarmia, We hate all of you, American Thanelaw, Korovan and Sicias

GP.1, Aye

GP.2, Abstain
I think it would be better to use the NS Regional poll for the votes for transparency purposes, as everyone can directly see who is voting and if they're in the WA. I would change my vote to Aye if that was amended.

RC.1, Aye

GP.1 - Aye
GP.2 - Nay - GP.2.1 - Chief Justice should host elections as this doesn't prevent the current Head of Senate from running in a Senate election and hosting it too
RC.1 - Nay - RC.1.5 - Contradicts RC.1.1 in that WA members lose citizenship and are counted as non-wa but all WA are automatic citizens - also a hard practice to keep up with and enforce. - Removal of Citizenship should be initiated by the Chief Justice in order to balance powers effectively. So that one branch isn't solely responsible for citizenship granting and removal

Edit: Also later on we can Amend GP.1 to say that an automatic abstain vote that is a result of the senator not voting is considered a vote in favor of the proposed bill, not including abstain votes that are the result of a senator actively voting.

GP.1 passes 2-0-4
GP.2 fails 1-1-4
RC.1 fails 1-1-4

I autovoted Aye for all of them, however, because they were ties, I counted them as fails...

I call the First Senate to Order

Alright, First order of business, Electing a Senate President, despite neither GP.1 nor the Constitution clarifying exactly how we should go about doing this (Entirely my Fault, this is why We need Active Senators besides myself) As the Incumbent Senate president I say we should Each Vote for a senate president

You can vote for anyone on the senate including yourself, this may have to change in the future as someday we may have a POTC like Deadlock, but for now

I vote Sicias for senate president

(This will be the last time I will run for senate president for a bit, After the first full senate concludes I will step down so others may lead and I can rest)
