For instance, there was a lot of controversy last year when a representative in the US lower house was not given the oath of office for weeks. People made all kinds of remarks about it then.

The approach I have is different. I look at what conditions make it possible to pull a stunt like that. For one, the speaker seems to have a monopoly in law on swearing in legislators. You could add to that list people like judges. There only was a special election because the US does not have alternates for Reps to be replaced with, contrast with France where alternates are also elected with their deputy, or the Netherlands where if someone vacates their seat, it goes to the next person on the party list (accounting for preference votes cast for candidates) immediately, without even really having the opportunity for a gap.

Why should the president or AG or the Solicitor General even have the power to decide things the Epstein bill was about? Why not a separate board that has nothing to do with the president which decides in cases in general of whether to release them? Why have a system in the legislature where a discharge petition is even needed vs something like a motion to discharge that is simply made by say a tenth of representatives and voted upon immediately without debate with a majority vote being able to put the bill on the agenda vs needing the rules committee to propose a rule for it? Or divide up the slots on the calendar so that if there are say ten slots they can use to debate and vote on things in the next week, they can vote by proportional representation how to divide up the slots among all the representatives.

When people get into complaints about negligence, courts ask whether it is foreseeable that a problem could occur with major consequences and if the problem could have been mitigated or avoided in the first place. The idea of a bill being restricted by leadership or a president not wanting information which could be damaging to them is one that applies in general, not over Epstein alone. You don't have to have fresh outrage every time something bad happens.

I have heard a few times from some people that it is quite challenging to find such clothes. On paper that sounds like it shouldn't be true given how many places you can get clothes and how many different people make them, but I know I really suck at fashion and clothes shopping and I am not a very good reference for that kind of issue and knowing whether it's true or not.

I couldn't even remotely fathom teaching a kid I might be responsible for to tip.

I won't start a bad habit of doing so with them or do anything that could make them feel guilt or discomfort.

Maybe you wanted to book a marriage ceremony with a church that was part of the SSPX. And now they've been excommunicated and their stuff is invalid. EG how a marriage done with one of their bishops is not allowed.

Given that you had made that arrangement on the presumption that the marriage would be properly Catholic, if they were excommunicated, I imagine you would want your stuff back so you could marry correctly.

Well, i seem to have a working nightmare system. The military responding to a mass shooting where the killer fled by murdering people in the theatre crowd one by one until someone talks about what happened but they are traumatized speechless, and someone getting acute radiation sickness and I'm hiding behind blocks of lead in my 11th grade social studies classroom as people fight over the scarce resources of also being able to hide behind my blocks of lead, and sailor jupiter is wrongly accused of a mass poisoning and is trying to escape from my city's mall, the biggest in the world, where many are trying to contain her joining the police. And then it was 2:50 AM.

She aced it when her mom taught her about how to use prealge-bras.

There are a few different ways for this to work, I'll just use single transferable vote in this example, it does not require a political party or association to work. If an assembly has 500 members, 10 of whom are elected by some division, any group or faction or other subset that has about a tenth of the membership of the division would have the numbers necessary to choose one delegate. If it is desired for whatever reason to make them have an imperative mandate and recall if they don't vote in accordance with that direction, how do you recall them without undermining the proportionality element?
