Hi everybody! In this thread I'll outline what I'll do if I'm elected as Speaker by my fellow representatives.
I promise to fulfill these pledges as Speaker of the House, and if I foresee that I will not be able to keep these promises, will subject myself to resigning from office. I really want to show our representatives that I want to write a new chapter in the story of Congress, and let it be a progressive and exciting one! Here are the pledges I promise to fulfill:
• To devolve more powers to committees • To ensure elections for ALL committee chairmen, not just joint ones • To remain totally impartial in my actions as Speaker and take neither side of an argument • To ALWAYS upload clear session history directly from the day's proceedings so that citizens are always aware of what the government is doing • To meet regularly with constituents from whatever political perspective to take on more suggestions for how Congress itself can work better • To reintroduce the Speaker Protempore role • To introduce the Clerk role and the Scribe role which both increases employment opportunities and streamlines Congress, making proceedings more efficient • To reintegrate guest proposals and speeches to Congress so that we have a wider perspective from everyone in our country, not just members of our House of Representatives • To work with the Vice President, President Pro Tempore and newly re-established Speaker Pro Tempore to work out scheduling for new sessions so that representatives know exactly when a session is going to start days in advance, not minutes in advance • To release analytical data showing how representatives vote, what party they belong to, which parties are seeing growth and decline, and new bills on the way • To encourage representatives to propose amendments to bills, which means that legislation can be the best it can be from increased constructive criticism from others • To communicate constructively with both the Judicial and Executive branches, and not just from myself but also other representatives, so that all viewpoints of Congress are expressed in our meetings
This large list of pledges will, with the help of your vote in the Speaker Elections, totally revive and revitalize the Congress which is the backbone of our country. We will become more efficient, more aware, more public-oriented, and better representatives of those who voted for us by creating a more progressive government which moves forward no matter what.
You have a number of choices in the upcoming elections. You may even be friends with other candidates! I know I am, and it's difficult not to vote for those you like the best. However, what Congress needs is a fresh new page, a new canvas, ready for exploration and imagination to engulf our government in a new sense of really representing the people who voted for us. And you know who to vote for if you support this venture!
When voting in the Speaker Elections, please vote for rossb654mail.
Thank you so much for listening, and I appreciate your support!

| I definitely will not be voting for the representative who abused his powers after being granted SoH illegally. |

Abused powers? I never abused powers. Has Marinio been lying again? Damn, I asked him to stop.

| Actually, you threatened to disqualify candidates for HoR seats and created rules for the election, which you were not allowed to do. That would be considered abuse of powers. |

The CEC was not established, and in previous elections the speaker was ALWAYS allowed to create the rules. I'm sorry that the supreme court decided to control congress. Disqualification of candidates, again, was always used in previous elections - then the SC came along and made their own rules up.

"Actually, you threatened to disqualify candidates for HoR seats and created rules for the election, which you were not allowed to do."
That means Jc wasn't allowed to do it, yet nobody said anything about that.
You idiot, Ross has every right to set election rules, like Jc was. |

Due to the clear public message that the situation between the SC illegally removing me [and a few citizens *cough* embarrassing *cough* who have no idea what they're talking about], I am no longer running for Speaker and will instead support FruitsZ in his efforts. I'm sure he'll adopt many pledges I have made on this thread, and he will definitely revive Congress.
