An Act to give effect to His Excellency’s declaration of abdication; and for purposes connected therewith.

Be it enacted by His Excellency the Grand Chancellor, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

Well… what else can I say…
If Avakael wants to go, or can't for whatever reason continue as GC, then I suppose we have to support this.

Have to agree with Dijel. Its not an Act I like as I think the GC has done an outstanding job but we can't force him to stay (or can we???) and this document is the best way of letting him stand down in a way that also allows Beatrice to succeed thus ensuring a smooth transition. All that's left to do in my opinion is pass this act and then thank the guy massively.

I agree with Dave and Dijel, only thing to do is push this Act through and give the GC a massive pat on the back for a job very well done.

Thank you all for your support, but I need to clarify something. This act is not Avakael's resignation, it's an act to give effect to the resignation. Basically it just clarifies what will happen now that Av has resigned.

So he's already packed it in? I definately have not been paying enough attention lately, but I think my origional point still stands in that there is simply no reason not to push this through.
In a semi-related note, how about some kind of memorial to his service (Grand Chancellor Avakeal Library, anyone?), or a least some kind of regional 'thank-you' to the GC. I mean, I'd send him cake, but it's a long way from Blighty to Oz, so maybe not.

Like the idea of naming the Library after him or something.

As the deadline passed ages ago: I thus beg to move that this bill be moved to a vote.
Furthermore, I beg to move that upon the passing of this bill, '[day]' and '[month]' is replaced with the day and month in which the act was signed by the Grand Chancellor.
Finally, I beg to move that the incoming Grand Chancellor rename the forum currently entitled 'Library' to 'The Grand Chancellor Avakael Library'.

As the deadline passed ages ago: I thus beg to move that this bill be moved to a vote. I believe the Speaker intended to suspend the vote until the new maskings had been assigned. Now that this has happened, I also urge that this bill be moved to a vote.
I also second the rest of CGJ's motions.
