The Senate Chamber: Make the Senate Great Again

[United Provinces of Atlantica]

"Mister President, if it is necessary, I once again move to proceed to the second reading of the Second Amendment to the Standing Rules."

"Mr. President, I second the motion."

[Oldenfranck]

Me wantings to be und senador.

[Zurkerx]

"Mister President, if it is necessary, I once again move to proceed to the second reading of the Second Amendment to the Standing Rules."

"Mister President, I move to proceed to the first reading of the National Bureau of Elections Act."

"Order!

While a first reading doesn't require any seconds to start a vote, I am inclined to start the second reading of the Second Amendment to the Standing Rules. You may begin to propose amendments for the next 12 hours. However, once that is done, we will hold a vote on the first reading of the National Bureau of Elections Act and the second reading of the proposed amendment."

Raj hits Mjolnir twice.

[Ainin]

Amman Singh incredulously wonders why the Speaker decided to move forward with a bill that will never get a third reading.

Tired of the nonsense, he leaves the Chamber to go get some KFC.

[Dendart]

"Mister president, thank you restoring this esteemed body back to order."

[Socialist Nordia]

"Mister President, if it is necessary, I once again move to proceed to the second reading of the Second Amendment to the Standing Rules."

Second

[Tectonix]

A pair of Senatorial aides snickered in the gallery as they heard a censured Senator talk about order.

"Mr. President, I stand in complete succor to this amendment. It will better streamline the nominations process for President Krishnan, which is sorely needed to do away with this unusable and slow committee system. Really there is no actual argument against what the amendment stipulates, aside from some cheap jabs from the Civic Union calling it 'obstructionist.' I urge my fellow Senators to not fall for the trap of partisanship that has so dominantly plagued our politics, and stand in support of this amendment, as I do. Thank you."

[Dendart]

"Mister president, I find it absurd that some senators continue to impede the work of this body. I implore all senators to accept the fact that the presiding officer has ruled on the matter and get on with the proper business of this body."

[Roosevetania]

"Mister President, if it is necessary, I once again move to proceed to the second reading of the Second Amendment to the Standing Rules."

"I second the motion."

"Mr. President, I rise in full support of this amendment. The current system is slow and inefficient and must be reformed."

"Mister president, I find it absurd that some senators continue to impede the work of this body. I implore all senators to accept the fact that the presiding officer has ruled on the matter and get on with the proper business of this body."

The gallery bursts out into laughter. Ritesh Bell yells at Durand, "SIT DOWN! NO ONE HAS OBJECTED TO THE RULING! NO ONE IS IMPEDING ANYTHING! SHUT UP, FOR GOD'S SAKE!"

[Ainin]

Someone in the gallery takes an ignore cannon out of his pocket and shoots Senator Bell, suddenly making all the laughter in the room disappear into the fourth dimension.

"We're called bloody NPCs for a reason," he muttered under his breath.

[Tectonix]

"Mister president, I find it absurd that some senators continue to impede the work of this body. I implore all senators to accept the fact that the presiding officer has ruled on the matter and get on with the proper business of this body."

"Well, deary me Mr. President, my sincerest apologies for speaking on the bill at hand. Senator Durand, of course, rightfully noted that participating on debate is, ehem, "absurd" and an impediment to the "work of this body,"" he chortled.

"I encourage the rest of my fellow honourable colleagues to join in debate, no matter how...'absurd' it is."

[Lykens]

"Mister President, if it is necessary, I once again move to proceed to the second reading of the Second Amendment to the Standing Rules."

"I second the motion."

The gallery bursts out into laughter. Ritesh Bell yells at Durand, "SIT DOWN! NO ONE HAS OBJECTED TO THE RULING! NO ONE IS IMPEDING ANYTHING! SHUT UP, FOR GOD'S SAKE!"

"Mister President, I move to call the Senator to order."

[Tumbra]

"I second the motion."

"Mr. President, I rise in full support of this amendment. The current system is slow and inefficient and must be reformed."


The gallery bursts out into laughter. Ritesh Bell yells at Durand, "SIT DOWN! NO ONE HAS OBJECTED TO THE RULING! NO ONE IS IMPEDING ANYTHING! SHUT UP, FOR GOD'S SAKE!"

"Mister President, I move to call the Senator to order."

"Seconded."

[Coconut Isle]

Mr. President, it is sad to see that yet again the chamber has devolved to partisanship and politicking from both sides. This is not what Fernoans want. What they want is a productive legislature and an efficient and we'll run government. Is that too much of a hard thing to do? Us crossbench senators are sick and tired of this pointless bickering, and there are several senators that are the root cause of this chaos. So I will second this call because this particular senator has been known for causing a lot of chaos -- Senator Bell is a disruptive influence. I would hope that he follow the example of the other senators in his party, who have only acted with decorum and respect.

[Tectonix]

"Mr. President, I second the motion. I'm dismayed by my honourable colleague's behaviour, and I hope to see him return to the rational, legislative thinker I know he is."

[Zurkerx]

"Mister President, if it is necessary, I once again move to proceed to the second reading of the Second Amendment to the Standing Rules."

"Order!

The Senator will come to order. Such behavior will not be tolerated. Continue and you'll be removed."

[The Sarian]

"Mr President, I rise once again to inform this house that the Criminal Code has been signed into law by President Krishnan. The President would also like her displeasure known that this house has not yet begun work on confirming the nominees for her cabinet."

[Zurkerx]

"Order!

We will now begin the vote on the first reading of the National Bureau of Elections Act and second reading of the Second Amendment to the Standing Rules. The vote will last 24 hours."

[The Sarian]
