@legislators of the South Pacific,

There has been a seconded motion to confirm @HumanSanity as Minister of Regional Affairs and @Amerion as Minister of Foreign Affairs, following their nominations by the Prime Minister. The debate thread can be found here.

RULING

The Charter, following amendment [2321.AB], only states the Prime Minister’s nominated Cabinet ministers “receive confirmation” from the Assembly, which I opine is covered under Article I §§ 3–4 of the Legislative Procedure Act as an “appointment,” hence the debate and voting periods, and majority requirement.

---

INFORMATION

This is an appointment to the Cabinet, according to the Legislative Procedure Act requiring a majority greater than 50% to pass. The voting period will be 3 days, thus concluding on Tue May 16 2023 19:00:00 UTC (20:00 in London, 15:00 in New York, 05:00 on May 17 in Sydney).
