LOTF: An American Political Roleplay (116th Congress)

[Louisianan]

United States House of Representatives
Representative Linda Lazare
[Democratic - 7th District of the State of Texas]

"Nay! The Representative must answer the question. He gives legislation to us and then lets us ask questions, and if we still have questions, we must have them answered. The Republicans are simply changing subjects because they know that Mr. Evander cannot answer the question."

Representative Jason Evander
R|SD-At-Large

"Aye."

A note was delivered to Linda's desk.

Looks like the ice witch is ignoring you
-Mr. Evander

Linda looked at Evander, quizzically before replying,

Who's the Ice Witch? Pardon me for calling out your obvious ignorance and stupidity, on the bill that you yourself want to become US Law. Especially since you were in an argument with Mr. Santiago, that should honestly hurt your ego since you got stumped by him as much as you did.

[The Orion Islands]

President: All motions tallied the legislation passes and is sent to the House. The floor is open to motions.

Senator Augusta Merriam
[Republican - State of New Hampshire]

"I move that the Senate consider the President's nomination of Jay Joseph Dietrich for the office of Vice President of the United States of America."

Senator Colbert: “Mr. President, I second the motion.”

[Lavan Tiri]

Representative Jason Evander
R|SD-At-Large

"Aye."

A note was delivered to Linda's desk.

My eyepatch itched, it was distracting me.

Linda replies with a sly smile,

Sure it was

Jason hid his laugh as an inopportune cough and sent a note back to Linda.

Are you disrespecting the first Pirates of the Caribbean extra elected to Congress? For shame, Linda.

[New Cobastheia]

Representative Chip Renfus
[Republican - Mississippi’s 4th District]

"Aye."

[Louisianan]

Linda replies with a sly smile,

Linda shook her head and smiled,

Tell Davy Jones Hello when your bill sinks.

[Madrinpoor]

Representative Alexander Santiago
(D-FL-27)

"Nay! We must hear the answer to my question before we can move on! Is this not a democracy?"

[Louisianan]

After thinking long and hard, Linda had decided that by simply moving to other things, we could come back to this question at a later time or date. Not wanting to be embarrassed on the whole house floor, or get into trouble with party leaders, Linda walked to the clerk and swapped her vote, in a low whisper

United States House of Representatives
Representative Linda Lazare
[Democratic - 7th District of the State of Texas]

"Hi, I'd like to change my vote from Nay to Present. Thanks."

[Madrinpoor]

Santiago went up to the clerk and asked her to change his vote to aye.

“Madam speaker, I second the motion from the gentleman from Iowa”.

[Sarenium]

An NPC Dem from one of the bluest districts in the country stood, "Objection, Madam Speaker!" he called out, quite happily.

Mac raised an eyebrow. "Let's end with the stupidity of partisan politics. J.J. Dietrich is about as good as Republicans come and the best we are going to get from the other side on this issue. I move to vote on his confirmation." he said, eyeing the progressives.

"Let's get on with real work and real debates. Like codifying Roe or pushing minimum wage laws, not this."

The elder Alaskan looked disappointed at her colleague. Hoping to have been able to play off a victory that she had convinced her caucus to back a famed Alaskan like Jay would have been great. Instead, Karel had no control over them and the progressives were set on putting on a show. She would remember this.
