Legal Question: Overlapping voting times in the Assembly and their effect on status |
Your Honor,
I submit the following Legal Question on the Legislator Status Requirement found in Article IV, Section 4 of the Charter: Quote:4. Continued legislator status requires active membership and good behavior. The Chair will remove legislator status from any person absent for three non-concurrent Assembly votes; legislators who have an approved leave of absence from the Chair shall not be considered absent. Additionally, the Chair may suspend privileges for disruptive members. Frequent suspensions may be grounds for ineligibility, if found appropriate in a fair trial by the High Court. The clause in question here is the Voting Requirement. Do votes started on different days, but having overlapping periods of length, count as "non-concurrent" votes for the purposes of the requirement? My purpose for asking this question is that the Charter is not crystal clear, and past practice doesn't provide solid guidance either. I do not take a position on the soundness of either policy, but merely request clarification of my duties as Chair. |
