Following Senate Chair Snowflame's resignation, this chamber is in desperate need of new leadership. The Chair you elect will be a guiding force in the times to come, times in which I'm sure the future of Thaecia will be decided. For that reason, I don't want to see any lack of candidates here. I hereby open the Standing Period. It shall last at least 24 hours or until every Senator has declared their intent or not to stand. I will not close the period until or unless we have at least one candidate.
Now, Senators of Thaecia, who shall stand for election?
I do not intend to stand
I hereby open the Statements and Discussion period. This shall last 24 hours.
Our two candidates are 
Sevae and 
New Central Iowa.
I think I'm the perfect candidate to put up to vote whatever we need for the revival of the region. I don't do much but I'm still around every day and am ready to answer whenever I'm pinged on discord
huh it seems like nobody has replied? shocker
The voting period shall last at least 24 hours or until every Senator has casted their vote.
For the record, your Chair candidates are Sevae and New Central Iowa.
I cast my vote for Sevae
I vote for myself. Oops
The vote hereby ends. With one abstention and two votes for Sevae, I hereby declare Sevae the Chair of the Senate. Congratulations, Seva.
I'm very excited to be saving Thaecia!

Noting the complete lack of legal order and system in Thaecia at present.
Understanding a constitutional convention must be held outside of the regular legal system to restore Thaecia.
Pursuing the restoration of order and democracy in Thaecia, but recognising that Thaecia is under crisis and that attempts to do this with the current legal system are not realistic.
Determined that Thaecia will survive no matter what.
Thus convening a constitutional convention to navigate Thaecia through this crisis which poses to us an existential threat.
Hereby,
Sub-section I - The passage of this bill does not constitute the repeal of any other legislation passed through means other than the contents of that section of the Fourth Constitution and predecessors alone; no sub-sections apply, only the parent section itself.
Section II - The passage of this bill constitutes the repeal of the Fourth Constitution of Thaecia.
Section III - The passage of this bill constitutes the dissolution of the Thaecian government as an effect of the repeal of the Constitution of Thaecia as no positions will legally exist; the serving Electoral Commissioner, the World Assembly Delegate, and the Vice Delegate, are exempt from this.
Section IV - The passage of this bill constitutes the succession of the Thaecian government to the Governor of Thaecia and the Leader of the Convention once elected.
Section V - The contents of this legislation are only enforceable when passed with a 2/3rds majority in each Chamber of Congress and the approval of the citizenry with a 3/5ths majority vote in a referendum.
- FIFTH CONSTITUTION OF THAECIA
ARTICLE I - Constitution
Section I - The power only to ensure the continuation of the region outside of the Constitutional Convention lies upon the Governor of Thaecia and the Leader of the Convention; typical components of a free and democratic society must not be interfered with.
Section II - The Electoral Commissioner is responsible for holding elections for the Constitutional Convention; they shall hold public instant-runoff voting elections for the Leader of the Convention, and public single-transferable voting elections for the seven (7) members of the Convention; if the Electoral Commissioner persistently fails to run these elections, the Governor of Thaecia may replace them.
Section III - The Constitutional Convention shall work in the following manner;
1. The Leader of the Convention shall be responsible for organising debates and votes on any platform which is reasonable for most Thaecian citizens to access;
2. Any citizen of Thaecia under the rules of the Fourth Constitution may submit Amendments to the Constitution, which may be rejected by the Leader of the Convention,
3. The Members of the Convention shall vote on any amendment, which require a 2/3rds majority to pass; if an amendment is passed, it shall then progress to a whole-citizens vote, which requires a 3/5ths majority to pass; all votes are public.
4. Once the Members of the Convention are satisfied that they have passed the requisite amendments, the whole Constitution shall be voted on by the members, requiring the same majority as amendments, then progress to a whole-citizens vote, requiring the same majority as amendments; if this vote succeeds this whole Constitution shall be replaced by that text.
5. Members of the Convention or the Convention leader may be removed by a petition signed by at least six (6) citizens & then approved via a region wide referendum by simple majority.
6. Any vacancy in the Members of the Convention or the Convention leader must be replaced by special election.
We are doing this radical bill by Cinema now
I'm a proponent of throwing things at the wall and see what sticks so I think we should pass this bill. It's definitely better than when nothing is happening like right now
As said by Cosmosplosion MP in #house-of-commons,
An opened convention has no guarantee of activity whereas if we elect members then we have a guarantee of participation. The last time Thaecia held a convention the membership was elected rather than open for all and it worked. There's no reason we should just go straight to basically direct democracy and ditch what got the region to where we are.
Look, the two options are between a totally opened convention and what I've proposed. I don't think it's sensible for us to be having a direct democratic convention, rather than have one that incorporates both representative democracy and citizens participation. It's not right for us to totally throw away what's brought us here. And what's the point of a convention that's totally open anyway? Why are people going to get invested and get involved? It'll just be left to inevitably three or four people to do everything.
Cerdenia originally proposed this sort of idea to me. He reasoned that this would be an amazing opportunity to discuss the big issues again (unicameralism, direct democracy, etc). New parties could form to try to run in this election and try to get their vision implemented into the new constitution. An open convention- what's that for? The big wigs of three or four people to sit around and dominate everything, without the thrill of elections to get what we want passed? We always used to say that elections every 2 months were what brought energy into the region. That's how we are where we are, and we shouldn't totally throw that away.
I've been the "stop politics" person for ages now. I don't think we should be a completely politics focused region anymore. But totally jumping away from that in one go- that's never been what I've supported, ever. That's reckless and irresponsible. We need this kind of convention to give people a reason to get invested in the region again.
Minor author amendment to keep the WAD in office - no reason he should be affected by this.
"the serving Electoral Commissioner and the World Assembly Delegate are exempt from this."
I've been inspired by your post so I am officially couping NCI as leader of the Phoenix party and leading it to revival, starting now
Our party has existed in the shadows for more than a year now, it is time to bring it forward once again. I have absolutely no idea how I can revive it or why I'm doing it but I want to be a hero and if there's anything I know about heroes is they're completely clueless half the time and survive on sheer passion (and plot armour)
Also, please remove the Vice Delegate from the list of people getting removed
We are now voting on this
