Tonight, at 11:06 PM EST on Saturday, January 18, President of the Senate xEndeavour announced the incapacitation and removal of President UnityMaster, passing the office onto our new President lcn.
xEndeavour announced that the Senate had voted with 3 ayes, 2 abstentions, and 1 nay. When some players questioned how this was a supermajority, the Senate President cited Term 14b of Section 12 of the Legislative Standards Act, reading “The quorum when voting shall be dynamic. Where a member abstains from voting, the majority will be decided based on those who have not abstained.”
This also comes in the wake of a lawsuit against the new President on behalf of the now-deposed UnityMaster, arguing that “[t]here is currently no Vice President as the former Vice President is currently the President on an acting basis. Therefore, the letter may not be legally delivered to or considered by the House of Representatives.” The Reveille Times will keep readers posted on that case.
President lcn now has an opportunity to nominate a new Vice President to fill their old seat. When The Reveille Times inquired on whether they have any ideas for a nomination, they simply stated that they would make an announcement. Only time will tell who our next Vice President will be.
This is a developing story, and The Reveille Times will be providing round-the-clock coverage of these dynamic situations.
