| DCoA Disscusson |

Okay, so I know that this problem is partially my fault and I apologize for that. However, seeing as for the second time in a year this has happened I think we need to address what to do when the office of CoA is vacant.
Personally, I would recommend that the DCoA be given temporary control of the Assembly, until the next CoA is elected. This way the Assembly would still have a formal leader and be able to operate like it usually does. I am of course interested to hear what the rest of y'all have to say though. Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.

During someone's situation in the past, Pen was DCoA and took over the role of CoA when needed. I think this seems like a logical solution.

Article IV, Clause 7 should cover this essentially. Most of the duties of the Chair either are or can be safely suspended during an election for a new one, and voting threads can be established in the absence of one if strictly necessary.

What specific duties do you think need to be discharged by someone, aside from running votes?

Posts outside High Court venues should be taken as those of any other legislator. I do not participate in the regional server, but I am happy to talk through instant messaging or on the forum.

Perhaps he/she can appoint as many deputies as needed, but one of them is some sort of 'acting deputy' that will take the position of Chair shall the CoA ever resign or be recalled?

Well, I would think moderating the Assembly would likely be the only big one because knowing this region we can get out of hand. Running votes is covered by the Charter and any legislator can do it, and legislator apps would need to be closed as soon as the Special Election for their replacement is called. So aside from the latter of those and moderation, I don't see much. I think, though, having a formal CoA in place would generally stop people from doing things that would impugn upon this body's civility. Of course, if we don't want the DCoA to do it we could always have our Dean of the Assembly (not sure who that is right now) be in charge in the interim. This is how most RL chambers operate when they have no Speaker. And no Roavin, I am not just bringing this up because of you. This is something that would generally be good practice. Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.

The only question I might have is that the Legislators elect the CoA while Deputies do not need to be elected or go through any vetting. Should there be some sort of approval required from the Assembly (even a simple vote) since CoA is the position that has historically gone through the most ...turnover?

We've never required Assembly confirmation for Cabinet Deputies, I don't see why we would want to establish a higher requirement for a Deputy CoA.

I'd see a 72 hour vote immediately following a resignation, or concurrent with a recall vote. Sent from my phone using Tapatalk. So typos may be a'plenty...
