Sirce has good advice, or at least bold the vote here. Thank you for your support. As soon as we change away from all volunteer army, we will move all leadership to recruit officers until we reach 100%, then we split the leadership reasonably.

I know, but in most voting situation, its an Aye or Nay for each bill. This was a bit odd voting situation.

So i shall vote Aye to Sharpe-Newman's Budget Draft.
Unemplaoying all our researchers and laborants would not be good for our economy, causing us to fall backwards in this rapidly chaning world. I doubt the effectiveness of the Officer draft, proposed in the other Bugdget Draft, as the prestige of a military career at the moment is not a high one.

I've done some thinking on the party leader situation. Here's what makes the most sense to me.

1. Party leadership, for now, will be based on seniority. I will use Tom's recent quorum to determine who is/isn't active and make the most senior member there the party leader.
2. Our Chiefs cannot also be party leaders. (Too many irons in the fire; you understand, I'm sure )
3. Parties can elect their own leaders with a majority vote.

So, the current party leaders are

Democrats: Sethanon: John Linton, D-FL
Republicans: arosenberger14: Thomas Rudolf, R-OH
Independents: Greek HOI3: John Sarigis, I-SC.

((I will indicate this on the OP))

Presumably you would consult with your party before any filibusters, but you aren't obliged to. You can also feel free to pass on party leadership to the next most senior member, or, again, overturn with a vote.

So son of liberty, if one of your two is Rudolf, filibuster away.

Settled? Good!

Now, poll:

Sharpe-Newman: 5
DeBrink-Beckendorf: 4

((Incidentally, if you guys want to name your own bills, that's fine with me -- I've just been using names as a matter of convenience.))

EDIT: I've added filibuster and quorum stuff to the OP. Any Senator can call a quorum at any point with my permission in advance (as Tom got). These will be necessary for party leaders.

For our purposes a Session is defined as one six month period during peace time; if I call you into a special session, filibusters are not permitted.
