Senate Vacancy

[Capt. Sir Mick Preston]

It has come to my attention that the current Senator of Benito has renounced his citizenship.

Therefore, there is no Senate representation for the Province of Benito.

I have asked the Seneschal to hold a "No Business" month in the current Cosa, to allow the citizens of Benito time to appoint or elect a new Senator to replace the former one.

Pursuant to Organic Law, the Provincial Executive shall appoint a successor to serve as interim Senator. As I was the only only candidate on the ballot, this leaves no clear-cut successor. To appoint myself would create, in the eyes of myself and surely many others, a clear conflict of interest as I may be swayed to act in my own best interest rather than that of the Province of Benito.

Furthermore, as the constituency of BEnito has fallen rather inactive as of late, I do not believe a special election would adequately reflect the desires of our citizens.

I have thus requested that this decision be left to royal prerogative. As our Province is without vice-regal representation since the resignation of His Excellency Owen Edwards, the request has thus been forwarded to HRH King John pursuant to Organic Law.

I recuse myself from this decision and place the matter in the hands of our sovereign trusting in his judgment and wise counsel to take into account the needs of our people to be properly represented in the Senate.

I further direct that this statement be entered into the archives of our province as Executive Resolution 41ER0510.

Done by my hands on behalf of the people of Benito,
T.M. Asmourescu, Maestro of the Sovereign Province of Benito

Technically my resignation never took effect. I withdrew in time.

[Flip Molinar]
