Just a thought, but I've never quite liked holding CoA elections like normal elections. This should be a legislature electing its presiding officer, not the region electing any government official.

We changed that last year, when we took the CoA out of Cabinet to improve separation of powers.

They're still elected the exact same way, for the most part. It'd be so much simpler if you had a very quick nominations period and a simple vote in the Voting Chamber.

Not the topic of this thread though, the DCoA is.

I actually agree with this a lot. Its a simple vote, the process need not take ages.

Yes, I do as well.

Though I don't agree with the idea of voting on a deputy to serve, instead, I think my idea is better. The CoA chooses a deputy to ascend to the position of Chair, should the acting CoA resign, CTE, etc.

So basically, the Chair is elected by the assembly in the voting chamber, and the CoA chooses a DCoA that has temporary powers (in case of above mentioned scenarios) until the next election (4 month term).

That's what I have gotten out of this thread thus far.

Essentially, yes, that's it. Kind of like how a Vice President in the US would assume powers of the President should anything ever disable him from serving in office.

I was just saying the DCoA would take over until we have a new CoA. An election could be called immediately.

Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.

I think, as Rebel pointed out, we've actually gotten rid of Vice Delegate positions for a variety of reasons. So here we would either have an election right away when a CoA resigned\recalled\etc and\or we could decide to do a quick vote to let the DCoA complete the term.

I've said have an election immediately, but have the DCoA be the interim CoA.
