Election of a Mençei for the 54th Cosa

[Lüc da Schir]

Esteemed colleagues, in my role as Dean of the Senate and therefore Acting Mençei I am pleased to open nominations for the position of Mençei.

Pursuant to Rule 2, members of the Senate can nominate any Senator by posting in this thread. Nominations are open until a week from now (December 22nd) at noon UTC (6 AM TST).

Should anyone receive nominations from a majority (5) of Senators before then, the nomination period will end and the nominee will be considered duly elected; otherwise, a Ranked Choice public ballot will be held between all nominees.

You may now nominate a Senator to perform the duties of the Chair as Mençei, if you wish to do so.

Micked.

That makes five of us. As a point of order, I believe then that our honorable friend Lüc da Schir is thereby elected the Mençei of our house, and I heartily congratulate him!

[Lüc da Schir]

That is correct. With five nominations, Lüc da Schir of Benito has been nominated by a majority of Senators and is therefore elected Mençei del Senäts / Lord President of the Senate for the duration of the current term.

Thank you for your renewed confidence in me, colleagues. The Senate will remain in session for the time being and the floor is open for remarks and motions.

[Gödafrïeu Válcadác’h]

To this happy cause, add my belated nomination and vote. As our presiding officer, I'm delighted Lüc is able and willing to serve another term.
