Much of this Congress is virtually never here and doesn’t know what’s going on.

Much of this Congress is virtually never here and doesn’t know what’s going on. | IG’s approval ratings are well under 50%, and snap impeachment polls put support for his impeachment over 50%. Nevertheless, impeachment may struggle to attract even 2 votes from this Congress. This reveals a major gap in Congressional representation that N.E.R.D. would rectify if we win the next election. Specifically, we commit to only appointing Congressmembers with significant in-stream activity. We would not be flooding Congress with PoliticsTOO loyalists who only know me and have no other connection to this stream. | image tagged in congress,congressmembers,imgflip_presidents,loyalists,nerd party,impeach ig | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

IG would kick and scream “unconstitutional”!! But you know what?

Owners of this stream have reserve powers of their own regardless of what RUP’s self-written constitution says.

Any democratic Constitution worth its salt contains an implicit guarantee of free & fair elections. Otherwise it’s not worth the paper it’s written on.

Under extraordinary circumstances where an incumbent government is effectively rigging the upcoming election in its own favor through corrupt modding, the Owner of PRESIDENTS has power to remove the offending mods. Regardless of whether a largely AFK Congress full of sycophantic loyalists fails to act. In my opinion.

I’ve outlined how IG’s discrimination against prominent LGBTQ candidates for office in the upcoming October election does just that.

But first we’ll see how impeachment goes.

So you support letting some unelected autocratic owners essentially declaring martial law and unconstitutionally removing its democratic representatives?

Plus even if I was discriminating against gay candidates (I wasn't) that's not proof of me rigging the election in any way whatsoever. The only anti-democratic dictator here is you, with your outrageous attack of our Congress.

And so far you haven't even found two Congressmen in favour of impeaching me over these bogus charges.

It's so bizarre how you, Richard and Surly all suddenly developed this irrational hatred of the RUP and the current government literally overnight.

Additional commitments:

—We’d appoint HCP members.
—We’d appoint RUP members.
—We’d appoint members from any other party that finishes well in the election.

This goes for Cabinet too. We’d be looking for ideas and memeing ability and stream commitment, not blind loyalty.

We've appointed HCP members.
We've appointed NERD members.
We appointed left-wingers to the Cabinet.

You can't even promise anything we've already done.

How would this be enforced?
In other words: what would actually stop Jemy from appointing Congressmembers from our anime crew? All my friends & good people of course, but not from this stream. (Queen Jemy and I are friends & mod all the same anime streams. This isn't a critique of her.)

I suppose we could write it into our Constitution that we’re only gonna have Congressmembers with X amount of PRESIDENTS activity. Then you get into the problem of how do you force a Party to follow its own Constitution?

It’s pretty foundational that a Party gets to choose its own personnel, generally — however, you could certainly attack us for going back on a pledge.

That's fair.
