The Good Days are Gone: USA Political RP (OOC, Open)

[Asardia]

I'll switch to Speaker of the House.

I'll allow it

Accepted

I don't think I've ever seen an application accepted so fast
Damn

I was already online and I knew that no one applied to be Illinois' governor, so all I had to do was read it. The app itself is really short as well.

Okay, with three additional states plus massive population increases in the existing ones, I'm debating on whether or not we should have 435 reps or increase it to say, 500 or more. Regardless, if they have a slight majority, I'll put it somewhere between 51% to 59%.

For the Senate, we'll have 106 Senators in total. I'm not sure if you guys established if the Senate is controlled by the Republicans or not, so I'll look back at it and I'll make an adjustment.

What are the new states?

Puerto Rico, Guam, USA Virgin Islands

As a Puerto Rican, very happy.

All right, let's just retcon this Mexico War. It's not going to happen. We'll continue the convention as if nothing happened.

And I see you guys aren't happy about the new house representation. I compiled a list of how many reps each state would have if we go with the 650 apportionment. Otherwise, we can just use today's reps number

Once school begins for me, I'll be the same. I understand

Alright, so it looks like the House will have 650 members. Since the Republicans have the majority there, we'll have 335 Republicans, with the rest being divided amongst the Democrats, NPs, Freestate, Constitution, and Green parties.

The Senate has a Democratic majority. Of the 106 Senate seats, 56 will be Democratic, with the rest being divided amongst the remaining parties.

Should be able to post later tonight. First week of school is absolute hell.

Synarchy is my new favorite word, honestly. But seriously, thanks for showing interest

Is this a good time to reveal Lewis used to serve in the army and fought 3 wars?

What are the rules for switching parties? I feel like the Compromise party, while not exactly his beliefs, is more centrist and thus fits Lewis more.

I just wanted to make sure. A C C E P T E D

You can switch parties just as you can in real life. I have no rule against it

Activity drastically decreased. I understand school has resumed for many of us, but there's only been a few posts since early September. Also, it's only me, you, and Tranzoria posting. Kannap and American Pere Housh are the only ones besides the three of us who's posted several times. I need to gauge interest levels
