Debate of the Week 7/17/09

Posted on July 17, 2009 by mchappy2

Welcome to the 4^th ever Debate of the Week

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

What is Debate of the Week?

An interactive feature that lets veryone be apart of the Army of Club Penguin Congress.

How does Debate of the Week work?

Two congressmen or women showcase their sides to an argument or debate. After the soldiers read both of their sides they vote in a poll for the one they agree with. The decision made in this poll will be taken into great consideration at the next ACP Congress meeting.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Argument

When a congressmen or women retires, should Congress appoint their replacement or should there be an election?

Now, our two congressmen will present their sides to this argument below.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

There Should Be An Election When A Congressman/Women Retires (Edwadu’s Side)

An election would be the best because it would be fair. Whoever ACP soldier who wants to become a congressman/woman would become one instead of congress picking who should be in. The, theres no arguments.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Congress Should Appoint A New Congressman/Women When One Retires (Packer’s Side)

NOTE: Packer requested he could use an idea similar to this one but with a few variation, so expect to see these.

I think that if a senator retires that the replacement should be anointed. There could be two possible ways of this working. The first way would be if the runner up in that retired senator’s poll would be chosen to go after them. This would be probably the fairest way, yet it might take a while to look back to see who was in the poll. The other way is if Saint and/or all the leaders made an agreement on one exceptionally well soldier that could handle being a senator. That would be a way of probing yourself to the leaders. And if more than one leader is involved in that choosing, there won’t be favoritism. This is how I think a replacement should be chosen.

Mr. Deedledoos’s Side

NOTE: Dee wrote his side with the traditional idea in mind so his side will he presented too. Packer and Dee’s side though will be counted as one side because it is the same general idea.

I believe we should just replace these people. Sometimes, it takes too long for elections and it’s there are times when we really need someone – but they haven’t been elected yet. I say that it could be optional. It depends on what you’re running for. If the predecessor wants someone to replace him, he can. Just as long as the successor is approved by the leaders and has the right standards. -Dee

The United States Government appoints new officers to congress and not have an election for a reason. For one, elections are a waste of time and the popular side tends to win most of them, which is how the ACP congress is the way it is already. We should all know the famous quote “What is popular is not always right and what is right is not always popular.” Elections are a waste of time. The current congress can decide who the want to replace in office, which actually should only be decided by one person: Saint. My job, as a congressman, is to maintain what I feel is right. Voting no is right. Voting yes at this point is popular. Don’t screw yourselves up.

Actually, we pretty much had the same idea about the ‘annointing’.
