Region: Libertatem
A fine address, Mr. President. Although I can't say I've ever been in full agreement with your platform, I could never say that you weren't a wordsmith. And despite our differences, you are still my friend, as we never let politics - a fiction of the state - separate us in Libertatem.
But one last act of office remains: signing FRAUD II, which is still technically an act if it's passed after the original's passage. It awaits your signature, or veto, if you choose.
And for all who did not know, Article XIV to the Constitution of the Republic of Libertatem has been ratified by the Founder and Regional Government. As it has the required 2/3rds support from the chambers of power, it passes.
Ratification by the House of Representatives is not necessary, but I think it would be desirable.
I will be moving to IRU. They have been in need of a FD from GAU and it seems that my services are not needed or wanted here.
Alderney And Liberty City
Are you sure, Amarican? We may not agree with your politics, but we still want you here.
To balance out the increased power given to Board Members as a result of two-month terms, I have authored the TOTAL RECALL Amendment, which gives power to the People of Libertatem to recall a sitting Board Member.
Article XV
The TOTAL RECALL Amendment
Type Of Typed Amendment Legislation Reinforcing Electoral Control Amongst the Licensed Living
Section I
Purpose of this Amendment
Subsection I
To be able to hold Board Members to a greater degree of accountability when serving two-month terms

Section II
Initiation of a recall election
Subsection I
The People of Libertatem may choose to recall a sitting Member of the Board
Subsection II

Subsubsection I
The petition of half of the registered voters who participated in, for against, the election of the Board Member being recalled
Subsubsection II
A 2/3rds vote to recall a Board Member by sitting members of the House of Representatives
Subsubsection III
The Founder seeks a recall election
Section III
Procedure of a recall election
Subsection I
A recall election will roughly follow the constitutional procedure of by-elections
Subsection II
When initiated, a recall election will match the sitting Board Member with relevant opponents
Subsection III
The victor of the recall election will serve out the remainder of the recalled Board Member's term until fixed elections begin again
Subsection IV
A recall election of a particular Board Member may be initiated a maximum of three times within a single term

Well......
Kidding. Yeah, you should stay.
Pevvania
We're all friends here. The same thing can't be said for the - *ahem* - more sectarian regions.
I told you yesterday that we need a minority
CI, why in earth are you leaving? Just become a retired farmer our something.
yes you did tell me that.
Sounds good. Good work Pev.
Alright, your the boss.
Fab.
What's your favourite state?
I don't have a favorite.
Have a least favorite?
California
I hereby sign FRAUD II into law, as my last act as President.
Hallo Island
I'll still be an active, albeit retired, part of this region's affairs, but I'll be using my main nation to communicate. That's the benefit of allowing allies to post on our RMB, is it not?
A wonderful speech, Mr. President. God bless.
Yrellian and RWN, you have to get RWN inaugurated before 10 AM (EST) so that he can inaugurate Muh after 10 AM.
Today's the big day, I'll have a speech prepared this evevning. To everyone making this possible, I sincerely thank you. God bless Libertatem!
Pevvania, Humpheria In Libertatem
Everyone, the President has been notified to resign the WA, please endorse the President-Elect so that he can take the Delegacy by the noon update. Even if the oath doesn't happen on time, he should have the Delegacy by the next update.
I will be requesting permission from the incoming Adjutant (MofMA) to lock the region during this transition time.
Although I'm not yet the Adjutant, this has my support.
[nation=short]Humpheria in Libertatem[/nation], do you support the TOTAL RECALL Amendment?
I do.
Pevvania
Alright, everyone. The region is locked down. We are now in transfer mode.
1. Mr. President, you have three hours to resign the WA.
2. Mr. Attorney General, you have an hour to administer the oath to your successor. (If anyone has any way to contact Yrellian, please do so)
3. Mr. Attorney General-Elect, please prepare yourself for the process, get the oath ready. It can be found in [nation=short]Humpheria[/nation]'s factbook.
4. Citizens, please transfer endorsements to the President-Elect. Members of the Military are ordered to do so unless they are tied up in sensitive military operations, inquire to Pevvania about your orders.
5. Cabinet-Elect, please ensure that you will be on sometime this afternoon to do your Oath.
Excellent.
Post self-deleted by Humpheria In Libertatem.
I'm here, sorry. I have technical difficulties with my computer.
Alright, go ahead and post the Oath for RWN. It looks like we'll be a bit behind schedule.
Everyone please rise.
Right-Winged Nation, please rise your right hand and repeat after me : " I, Right winged nation, do solemnly swear to protect, defend, and uphold the Constitution of Libertatem. I swear to execute the will of the People of Libertatem within the rightful extents of the law. I affirm that it is my solemn duty to defend Libertatem from all threats, foreign and domestic, to uphold the integrity of the region. I promise to uphold these obligations understanding the sanctity of my office, so help me God. "
Muh Roads needs 3 more endorsements. Pick up the pace, people!
Alright, if Muh is not inaugurated by RWN by noon, either President Condealism or General Yrellian can do it for him. But that is just a formality, getting him the Delegacy is more important.
We are 30 minutes out people!
Mr. President, please resign the WA.
Everybody, endorse Muh Roads.
I think part of the problem is that the WA doesn't seem to be sending anyone emails for confimration...
Otherwise. I r disappoint.
2 endos in 10 minutes, let's see if we can do it.
*yawns* Just woke up, guys... but it looks like I resigned just in the nick of time. I think we're updating right now...
I echo Humpheria's words when I say I am disappointed. We knew this was coming for a while, yet only 3 people took the initiative to endorse the new president. If we were raiding, I'd fail you all.
If you were raiding, it wouldn't have been your fault - instead of resigning, I'd have noticed the surge in WA nations and kicked them out of the region just before the update. And, as you know, there would be nothing you could do about that.
Alright, its after noon and the new AG is even the new AG yet.
So, CI can you go ahead and administer the oath to Muh? We're staying on lock down until that happens.
Please?
Sorry guys technology sucks
Alright, RWN may now administer the Oath to Muh Roads. I hereby request RMB silence.
Post self-deleted by The New United States.
Yessir. RMB silence will be ENFORCED with the founder account.
Mr. Attorney General, please administer the Oath.

I swear to execute the will of the People of Libertatem within the rightful extents of the law. I affirm that it is my solemn duty to defend Libertatem from all threats, foreign and domestic, to uphold the integrity of the region.

Who the hell are you?
I am going to be redoing the military roster. I hope the Military General (Pev) will agree, but I'll take unofficial custody for who's who.
If you have participated in the The New German Reich,International Socialists, The Republics Of Cuba And The Caribbean, The Cooperative Union, and/or Congress Of Armed Proletarian States invasions, or the Gay Equality and The New British Empire liberations, please telegram me which invasion you partook in, so I can "give" you a medal. People with more medals = more privileges.
Also, I need a private list of whose raiding puppet is whose.
My ideal date is pizza and Frozen. If any of you get ideas.
Pevvania
Speech is still incoming, I've got a busy schedule today so forgive my tardiness. VP Humpheria will be showing you all an instructional video on workplace hazards that may or may not have NSFW content.
You lost me at frozen get cultured
Pevvania
Cabinet, please make your office factbooks.
Muh: President
Pev: War
TNUS: State
Mien: You're good
RWN: Justice
I would recommend using past ones as a basis. Except TNUS. Funky's State page was just ACOP propaganda
Hallo Island
Not to brag or anything, but the IA page has been the way it is for the past forever.
So, y'know, that's a good guideline for other things.

Libertatem,
Today is the dawning of a new era. An era where we , show nationstates that Libertatem is never backing down no matter the struggles we endure, an era where we continue the fight against tyranny and oppression.
Our strength will come not only from the executive office but from the diligence of each and every single one of you. I ask that during my presidency we keep synergy in mind, rather than party politics. I cannot do this alone.
My cabinet will be convening shortly, I wish to waste no time making progress. Anyone who falls short will be replaced, that is the end of the story. It is not my intention to make individuals upset, but hard decisions will have to be made.
Board of Libertatem, you will remain an ever crucial asset to us. Fear not for I will NOT seek to reduce power in the board but rather continue to look for options to increase your capabilities. I ask for your co-operation during our time of change and that good communication is established between all branches of our government.
House of Libertatem, I feel as though you are often neglected when it comes to decision making. Yes, as the lower portion of our government your job may be minute but your voices are ever strong. I seek to reform the house into something better, more capable, and I ask for your suggestions.
Now that I have settled into office, change starts NOW. We have little time to waste. As such, I'm going to start a huge recruiting campaign and start looking for ways to reform the acts involving the military. I ask that anyone interested in recruiting telegram me, because we are going to have a new and improved recruiting telegram. The API works, but it is no where near as good as stamps, which Pev and I have proven some many times over.
Lastly, CI, that was an incredible speech. One that I surely cannot match, but I do appreciate the kind words and will take your advice into consideration. You are a good leader, our ideals differ, but nevertheless you carried Libertatem through a trifling time and for that deserve the upmost respect.
Thank you, and God bless Libertatem.
Miencraft, Pevvania
Synergy is one of my favorite words. Just putting that out there.
Muh Roads
Does the fight against Tyranny and Oppression include a fight against the RLP tyranny? jk
If that's how you interpret it I suppose :)
Also love the news Liberosia (or whoever did that) I got a good laugh out of it.
Worry not - it doesn't matter whether you can deliver a speech. I delivered speeches all the time during my Presidency, but did I get much done? Not really.
You have a reputation as a man of action, so I have the highest hopes that you will live up to that reputation by being a President of action.
Muh Roads

Hey all! I'm new here and I'm excited about what I've seen so far. An active regional government and an active RMB! Sweet!
Pevvania
Hiya, welcome.
Welcome to Libertatem!
I didn't even give speeches, and my cabinet did all the work for me :P.
Also, FRAUD II needs to be put in the list of laws.
Hello, I'm Vice President Humpheria and its my job to help new guys out, so telegram me if you have any questions.
By a 4-1 margin, I have been elected Chairman of the Board.
Pev, are people dancing in the streets after the new baby?
Too late, man, I've already got him.
But, really, you need help, ask anyone here, basically.
Thanks!
Dammit, Humpy, you put "Miencrafy" for the IA Manager in your factbook.
Don't hate humpy because he is Beautiful!
Might explain why I won in December.
Congrats.
In our first two days, we have elected a Chairman and passed the MEDAL Act. It now goes to President Roads to sign or veto as his first executive action.
MEDAL:
nation=humpheria/detail=factbook/id=353421
I hereby sign the MEDAL act. Great work.
Now all we have to do is amend the Constitution to make Roads "President for Life". jk
That's classified.
Improved the recruiting TG a bit, what do you all think?

Thoughts, questions, concerns?
Hi guys, I'm new to the game. How do I get started here?
You have to wait ten days to file the paperwork to become a citizen. After that you must join the RLP because you won't get anywhere in this region if you are not part of that party.
You file the paperwork with Miencraft at the Internal affairs department.
Hey, don't do that.
Sorry about him, he is just bitter because nobody joins his party because it is pointless and has no platform. You can join whatever party you like, or create your own, which is encouraged. We always welcome new ideas.
If you need anything else, feel free to ask me! :)
Do you mind if I set it up to send them out in my name?
That's mostly because it's a needlessly complicated system for doing that, and it'll save you from the stupid telegrams that you'd get from people replying "no thanks" or other equally useless things.
Also, looks good, but the possessive form of it is "its".
Not at all, that's what I tried to design it for.
Oops... lol
