The following bill shall be up for debate until at least 7/21/14.

Quote:
 
His Excellency’s Declaration of Abdication Act (2014)

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

Whereas His Excellency by His Excellent Message of the [day] day of [month] in this present year has been pleased to declare that He is irrevocably determined to renounce the Chancellory for Himself, and has for that purpose executed the Instrument of Abdication set out in the Schedule to this Act, and has signified His desire that effect thereto should be given immediately.

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:

Short Title

(1) This act may be referred to as the His Excellency’s Declaration of Abdication Act (2014).

Effect of His Excellency’s declaration of abdication

(2) Immediately upon the Signature of His Excellency to this Act, the Instrument of Abdication executed by His present Excellency on the [day] of [month], two thousand and fourteen, set out in the Schedule to this Act, shall have effect, and thereupon His Excellency shall cease to be Grand Chancellor and there shall be a demise of the Chancellory, and accordingly the Vice Chancellor shall succeed thereto and to all the rights, privileges, and dignities thereunto belonging.

(3) His Excellency shall not, after His Excellency’s abdication, have any right, title or interest in or to the succession to the Chancellory.

Schedule

I, Avakael, Grand Chancellor of the Independent Order, do hereby declare My irrevocable determination to renounce the Chancellory for Myself and My desire that effect should be given to this Instrument of Abdication immediately.

In token whereof I have hereunto set My hand this [day] of [month], two thousand and fourteen, in the presence of the witnesses whose signatures are subscribed.

Avakael

Signed in the presence of:
Beatrice

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 do I. I also agree with Dijel that there's no reason not to push this through.

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'.

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.
