I understand such a situation may occur, but I'm still feeling wary about this. Besides, does the Constitution not grant athe President the power of executive order?

It does, but he is still willing to seek the advice and consent of the senate whenever possible. I think that is to be applauded and supported, don't you?I understand such a situation may occur, but I'm still feeling wary about this.

Senator Phillips, while I respect preparedness, don't you think you exaggerate the threat of the Germans? Our country is the fairest and mightiest on this earth, and no opponent can realistically hope to be marching on the White House. The Germans would be fools to attempt an invasion of the Continental United States!

We may be a great nation, but do you think by refusing to break isolationism, we are in any situation to break the Nazi's, that is my question.

General MacArthur, I submit my application for transfer to your command. Place me as you see fit.
signed,
Lt. General Joseph Stilwell
(I'll join in on the fun)
((also, now I am back, is it still possible to amend the second half of 1940 towards my plans or will I have to wait for 1941's budgetary plans? I do want to change some divisions in the OOBs and that takes time to move them across the nation))
((I don't have HOI3, so what exactly Stab in the Back entails for us? I would like to know before voting))
Alright, now that some of my advisors painted a better picture, I vote Aye on the Emergency Voting Act.
(Since you gave me that guarantee, I feel more comfortable now.)
((Check the screenshot out for specifics, but it decreases neutrality while simultaneously increasing IC and manpower for a brief period. Less neutrality = more freedom of action to change laws and enact future decisions.))
Just to be clear, for those confused about the Emergency Voting Act; it's intended strictly to make sure we get the peacetime updates finished in a reasonable time. It will not be applied to any budgetary bills or anything fundamental (like joining a faction). It will be used only for in-game decisions.
Mr. McCarthy, I may be interested in such a bill. Maybe should consult the Secretary of War and the Chiefs of Staff as well?
- Senator Elexis Sinclaire (R - MA)
((I'd sign up, but I've never played HOI3.))
General Macarthur, I would be honored to take command of the northern area of responsibility. If approved I would like to see to my forces as soon as possible and implement training immediately.
Signed General Stilwell
((Tom, what did you have in mind as far as formal mechanics for choosing your commanders? I was under the impression you could simply pick your own, given input from the other Chiefs and SecWar. Does anybody know, legally, at what rank the Senate has to confirm your appointments? I know the modern day JCS has to be confirmed by the Senate, but I thought that was it.))
