1. I am running for Head of Senate because I believe the Presidents stream needs major reforms. The AUP has been ripping the Constitution to shreds and has shown the current system is utterly broken. I believe I can be part of that solution and bring fair play back to Presidents.
2. The first thing I want to do is to hold a vote to recognize the Common Sense Constitution as the law of the land. We desperately need a Constitution that works for all parties, not just the party in power. That is what the Common Sense Constitution seeks to accomplish.
3. The main problem I see in Presidents is AUP changing the Constitution as they see fit. I want to make it much harder to change the Constitution and serve the people rather than the party in charge. We also need major Congressional reform. Currently, AUP as the party in charge gets to choose 12 out of 15 Congressmen while the runners up make up the remaining 3. I support Nerd Party's proportional representation proposal where each party gets a proportional amount of Congressmen to the amount of votes they received in the election. Meanwhile the Senate is more free wheeling and spots are open to anyone who can get a stream with at least 50 followers and not a stream of a political party to appoint or elect them as Senator.
4. I believe Leftists and Rightists need to work together to make sure this government works for everyone. In this spirit of cooperation, my two Congress picks would be Randomness_Central and Sugas. AUP has wreaked havoc for long enough, Liberty and Nerd Parties will have to work together to repair the damage.
5. I am not a free speech absolutist, but I stand for free speech. As far as Imgflip is concerned, we have to follow TOS, but we should be allowed to say whatever we like that doesn't violate TOS.
6. WhiteNat and MoonMan have violated TOS enough times to be banned on sight. The question of whether they should be banned from the stream or not is now irrelevant.
7. I don't really like the idea of banning someone from Presidents, at least not without a trial. All it takes is for an authoritarian party to come into power and abuse their power for it to be used against us.
8. I think Sloth's impeachment of IG was a necessary step in showing just how corrupt the AUP is. That combined with IG rigging the AUP primaries was what broke the camel's back. I would be very shocked if AUP recovered from this.

continued...

9. I think the process could use some improvements. I like how Sloth sought to uncover the truth first, then proceeded with impeachment. However, it was dragged out longer than it should have. The accused have a right to a speedy trial and I don't personally see any reason impeachment should last longer than a week. If you can't make your case in a week, your aren't really going anywhere with your case.
10. I never want to impeach someone. Impeachment is serious business and should only be used in the cases where there is no other option to remedy the situation.
11. I will work with the President to pass the Common Sense Constitution and Congressional reform as well as pass any reforms they want that will benefit the stream. However, I will not be afraid to stand up to the President when the situation requires it, which will be a lot if AUP wins the presidency.
12. It needs major reforms. I support the plan put out by Nerd Party to give the parties proportional representation in Congress. The past two AUP terms have shown that Congress is out of touch with what the stream users actually want; this must be remedied.
13. Yes we do. Congress is a necessary body to uphold the Constitution and keep some checks and balances on the President to prevent an authoritarian takeover.
14. I don't need to suspect anyone. IG and RichardChill have both used alts in shady ways. IG to get around comment timers he earned for violating TOS, and RichardChill to get elected as HOC.
15. I believe so. Voter integrity is critical to hold free and fair elections and that can't happen if someone is rigging the vote.
16. There really isn't a good way for the average user to figure out if someone is alting or not. Sitewide mods can compare IP addresses, but we are not going to be getting involved in every little alt accusation case as that will just be abused way to much by certain individuals.
17. People should register for a free voter ID at the IMGFLIP_DMV stream, then attach their ID to the bottom of their ballot, and vote normally. I think there is a good discussion to be had about ranked voting, but we can cross that bridge when we come to it.
18. Depends on the situation. If TOS is not violated, I think it makes sense to get a judge and try to figure out the truth and remedy the situation. If TOS is violated, the stream mods must remove the violating content and turn the situation over to a judge if the situation needs further attention.

continued...

19. I am already a very active member of this stream. I will have a lot more work to do once I am elected, so I will be even more active. Also since I would be given temporary modship, we will be bringing back speedy approvals.
20. I would do everything I can to increase the userbase of Imgflip. That means more ads for Imgflip on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Google, and the like. The Imgflip userbase is rapidly growing, but it is only growing among kids and political junkies. I would focus advertising on young and middle aged adults who aren’t necessarily political to bring more variety and creativity to the Imgflip userbase.
21. The best thing about this stream is the roleplay. As a political junkie, I personally think it’s important to start thinking about political issues at a young age. Presidents is a great alternative to the BS of school elections where only the popular kids ever win as it shows way more of a variety of political philosophy than you’ll ever see in a school election. How many school elections tackle issues such as libertarianism and authoritarianism? Or regular liberal vs conservative for that matter? Based on the issues you tackle in here, I think you will have a much easier time understanding IRL politics than most people you will ever meet. Who knows, you may even be inspired to pursue a political career of your own! The worst thing about this stream is the constant drama, usually started by the authoritarians. It’s certainly a part of the roleplay, but it goes too far sometimes. Constant BS like that just drives people away and it will lead to the death of this stream if it is not kept in check.
22. I believe in freedom and fair play. In order for a libertarian government to properly function, it needs the freedom to embrace new ideas and challenge the old and to do what needs to be done to resolve issues we face. However, it must have a strong Constitution in place to ensure authoritarians don’t take over and that we can all participate in a fair playing field. If you vote OlympianProduct, I want you to know that I will fight so you can have the freedom to make your voices heard and that everyone has to play fair in order to have the best possible government we can. Will you join me?

1: The president's stream needs a HOC that will represent the president's stream. That's currently not happening.
2: Make a new Congressman application. Anybody who doesn't have 5 minutes to fill and submit a meme application, won't actually show up to the stream.
3: Form a Congress that represents the president's stream, and get Olympian's new constitution passed. Everyone is sick of the rubber stamp Congress & the constantly changing RUP constitution.
4: That's going to depend on the answers I get on my Congressional applications. When Doofenshmirtz ran Congress he got half his applications back with a bunch of blank spaces. Those people weren't very interested in actually showing up to debate bills.

5: 100% pro free political speech. Note that spamming the "F" word or harassing people isn't political speech.
6: Yes. A ton of WN's alts are already banned. I don't see a problem with that. Nobody actually thinks making a bunch of alts to harrass people is free speech.
7: Absolutely. Several of minecraft's alt accounts are already stream banned for bad behavior. No one misses them.
8: I don't approve of the process. Kamikaze broke every rule he could find but got impeached, not for that, but for being disagreeable with everyone. Impeachment as a popularity contest is inherently flawed.
9: It's never worked yet. No one we ever impeached actually left the stream, so what's the point?
10: I probably would. I don't like impeachment one bit, but there are treasonous acts that require the remedy of impeachment, anyway.

11: Get the new constitution passed. Get other bills they want passed (everyone but me wants the bank: we'll get that done right away.) Collaborate on a new system for debating bills before voting on them. It's gotten so bad under the current Congress that the president doesn't get to say two words about a bill before it's passed.
12: We need people from the president's stream. And we need a new system for replacing Congressman that refuse to participate in the stream.
If I have to appoint replacement Congressman I'll be using my application process and an informal popularity poll before making my decision to avoid just appointing my friends.
13: Yes the people must have a voice.
14: Yes. There's still plenty of alts on the stream.
15: On the president's stream? Yes. Because too many people have used alt votes to their advantage, which is unfair to people who try to follow the rules.
16: You can't due to privacy concerns and the possibility that unique users could share an IP address and "unique" IP addresses can have a single user via VPNs and other simple software tricks.

17: Voter IDs from the DMV. Quick and easy for you. Difficult for people who haven't been to the stream.
18: When hasn't it? Lol. I only support intervening in conflict if it goes too far. People are going to have disagreements. If I have to intervene? You know i can handle business.
19: I always am.
20: More ads. Ads for mtn dew, I'm trying to get an endorsement deal. Lol. More mods, more contests (I like meme contests) and a transparent png sticker maker for imgflip pro. I already can do that using various software programs I have, but a lot of people want to do it right on imgflip.
21: People taking the stream seriously. People taking the stream TOO seriously.
22: Pepe is STILL number one in the hood G. But seriously: You know EXACTLY what you're getting with me.

2) Probably start my events thing for more RP in IP

3) There's not enough RP and fun in IP this should be Addressed.

4) Sure, any game needs some amount of seriousness to be played fairly and to be fun

ight

Woops hit the post button.

5) Free speech is essential

6) From what I've heard Yes.

7) If harassing users then start with a temporary ban, but if it continues a more extreme punishment may be necessary such as a permanent ban

8) They're impeaching them that's the first I've heard of it so I can't reply until I know more.

9) Impeachment Is necessary to keep a check on power abuse from IP government users

10) Yes if it's necessary

11) I'm more than willing to talk about Anything with Congress to get IP more fun and safe for users

12) It fine but I'm always open for change

13) Congress and now a Senate help give more RP positions to IP and also is another check on power abuse

14) Probably

15) Depends, if the user is open about it maybe so no, but maybe yes.

16) Really not sure

17) Envoy

18) I think Envoy would be a great President so why wouldn't I think he'd be a great VP

19)

20) On site I like how we've been doing it with the added ID cards

21) I'll try to help to keep people calm maybe even ask third party To negotiate between the Arguing groups

22) Yes, but I'll give my VP some time to run the stream as well if I need a break

23) shrug IDK

24) RP is fun. Not enough RP and to much arguing.

25) I don't actually like to argue with people even though I sometimes do when I get stressed😥

may i answer the presidents one?

Sure.

thanks Scar

and for HOS we can just vote on that. Or any other ideas? since HoS is a new position.

HOS can use the same questions as HOC since they are very similar positions.
