Nay!

[FreYhill]

"Order! The first reading of the Inaugural Committee Act passes with 16 Yeas Ayes, 13 Noes and 0 Abstains. After consultation with the Senate's leadership, the President shall no longer recognize "Yea" on the floor."

[Collatis]

After hearing the news regarding 'yea', David breaks into applause

[Lykens]

Indira grumbled.

[Collatis]

David throws his rubber ball to Indira, before standing and saying "Mister President, I move to proceed to an executive session."

[Lykens]

"I second, Mister President."

Jackson leaves the chamber, crying loudly, only to come back 10 minutes later looking grim.

David throws his rubber ball to Indira, before standing and saying "Mister President, I move to proceed to an executive session."

"Mr. President, I second this motion."

[FreYhill]

After showing glee that the Senate wont do another first reading, President Carvallo hit his gavel two times before he spoke.

"So Ordered. The Senate of the Federal Republic is now in a executive session."

[Collatis]

"Mister President, I move to begin debate on the nominations for Secretary of Foreign Affairs (Argentarino), Secretary of Health and Labour (United Provinces of Atlantica), and Secretary of Education and Community Affairs (Aurélia Santos [Maklohi Vai])."

"Mr. President, I second this motion."

[Tectonix]

"Mister President, I move to begin debate on the nominations for Secretary of Foreign Affairs (Argentarino), Secretary of Health and Labour (United Provinces of Atlantica), and Secretary of Education and Community Affairs (Aurélia Santos [Maklohi Vai])."

"Second!"

[Roosevetania]

"Mister President, I move to begin debate on the nominations for Secretary of Foreign Affairs (Argentarino), Secretary of Health and Labour (United Provinces of Atlantica), and Secretary of Education and Community Affairs (Aurélia Santos [Maklohi Vai])."

"Second."

[FreYhill]

"So Ordered. The Senate shall debate on the President's nominees for the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, the Secretary of Health & Labour and the Secretary of Education & Community Affairs."

[Lykens]

"Mister President, I rise to commend the two honorable nominees, and condemn the President of this Republic for nominating a communist to one of the high offices of state.

Communism has only served to cause poor living conditions and class warfare that threatens the stability of a nation and divides its people to the point of vicious and dangerous strife. I urge all of my venerable colleagues to stand firm against the communist tide which threatens to Swamp Fernão.

Thank you, Mister President."

[Tectonix]

"Mr. President, may my honourable colleague please specify exactly what form of communism she speaks of? As we've seen in history, no real communist state has ever existed; only forms of authoritarian socialist/marxist-leninist regimes. To add to my question, does she refer to this form of authoritarian socialism, or to one of the many variations of communism, such as: marxism, trotskyism, maoism, neo-maoism, dengeism, juche, titoism, anarchist communism, eurocommunism..."

Viel stops talking, but one of his aides continues to read from the list, only to faint a few minutes in due to lack of air.

"Hear, hear! Mister President, the world has never actually seen the results of communism, making my Honorable Colleague Senator Tamboli's argument invalid. She cannot argue that communism leads to poverty when no country has ever been communist, as Senator Viel noted.

"Mister President, I rise in full support in all three of the president's nominee's. These nominees will be wonderful for Fernao and their departments, and they will be great progress in our nation if the rest of the cabinet is as good as this."

[Socialist Nordia]

Mr. President,
I support all of these nominees. I have incredible confidence in our soon to be Secretary of State, and applaud the President for welcoming his electoral opponents into government in the name of unity for our fledgling democracy. With regards to the "communist issue", I see the appointment as just another part of the quest towards unity. Communist and socialist groups were some of the first to take up arms against our former dictatorial government, and many, including this respectable nominee, have shown loyalty to the people of Fernão. We must not resort to fear mongering over a communist hostile takeover which simply will not happen.

"Hear hear!"

[United City States of Oceania]

"I also support all of these nominees. I believe that they will do a good job representing the best interests of the people of Fernão in the cabinet of the President of Fernão, Vishal Vig."

[Paketo]

"Mister President, Senator Tamboli's argument is not the least bit invalidated by my other colleagues remarks. Simply by the fact that there has been no actual communist state is a testament to its failure. Every state that has tried to achieve communism has turned into a dictatorship or similar government. The Soviet Union, Cuba, the Eastern European satellite states, North Korea, Pol Pot's regime, every single one of them tried to achieve this true communism and became failed states that killed their own citizens. We do not need that kind of system in Fernao where we have only recently overthrown a dictator. We must reject a candidate that believes communism would ever result in a way forward to a better Fernao." spoke Senator Dannon in support of his colleague Senator Tamboli.

"Mr President, is it in order for an Aide to speak before this august body? Further, Mr President, is it permitable for Senators to work their staff into the hospital?"

"Mr. President, the aide has not gone to the hospital. In fact, often times when a person passes out, they don't go to the hospital."

"Mr. President, may the honourable member be reminded that the standard procedure for any loss of consciousness is immediate emergency medical attention."

[The Tiber and Wisdom]

"Mr. President, the aide has not gone to the hospital. In fact, often times when a person passes out, they don't go to the hospital."

"Mr. President, if the aid has not gone to hospital then I recommend immediate medical support, he has passed out due to lack of oxygen and as such may suffer heavy consequences if not treated. My I also add that the Honorable Senator Viel did not ask the chamber for permission to call for an allowance for a non-senatorial speaker"
